As a mom of two kids under 6 and a business owner, I’ve been there. I have worked the nights after everyone is asleep, missed the preschool Halloween party, made all the excuses why I can’t find 30 minutes for myself to exercise, and struggled to generate the profit I wanted in my business.

Testimonials

Stacie has helped me clarify my vision

I’ve been in business for over four years, but I knew last year that I had taken things as far as I could on my own. Stacie’s authentic, evidence-based and experience-informed coaching has been a game-changer. I have always been able to see what’s possible, but the logistics of getting there can be overwhelming when you’re juggling clients, employees, subcontractors, and family/personal commitments. I needed to stop giving the wrong things my attention, and I also needed to grow as a leader. Stacie has helped me clarify my vision, make the best use of my time and strengths, and align my business growth with my values. I consider her instrumental to the success we have experienced over the past year and the exciting things ahead for us. Thank you!

Pam, Owner, Non-Profit Content & Communication Agency

I would not have been able to do this last year given my haphazard way of dealing with everything – thank you for all of the help!

 I can’t wait until our meeting to share a big win – I never once opened my computer the entire vacation. In fact, I barely scanned through my emails, and spent less than 5 minutes on one call on a client issue that was both urgent and important. I was able to check out as soon as the call ended and didn’t think about it the rest of the week. I would not have been able to do this last year given my haphazard way of dealing with everything – thank you for all of the help!
Scott, Partner, Law Firm

I am the executive director of a 10-year-old local non-profit facing a transition with leadership. Stacie, with Empowered Leadership, consulted with our board of directors to learn about our different styles of communicating as well as how we are perceived by others. Stacie has a gift of demonstrating how our unique styles affect our communications, decision making and growth as a team working together for a common goal.

Our board came away with a priceless renewed sense of commitment, inspiration and confidence in looking forward to change.

Having a coach to help me focus and hold me accountable made all the difference in the world.

I am really excited to work with Stacie to grow my business.
