working with stacey
For the last 5 years, Stacey has been using the “Because Framework” to guide executives and organizations; teaching them to stand out from the sea of sameness; helping them grow sales; influence prospects; and inspire innovation.
She is a master of constructing thought provoking questions in a way that spark leaders to fully digest, understand, and leverage the Because Framework.
Stacey has experience driving success within organizations from local schools to global corporations. She has held executive level leadership positions in a variety of industries including marketing, manufacturing, non profit, city management, and even teaching. Her eclectic path has taught her to recognize industry-specific issues and insights that can often be missed by others. Using this knowledge and experience, she effectively guides her clients through a journey to uncover powerful, and sometimes hidden Becauses.
Stacey works both independently as well as partnering with Gerry O’Brion, co-facilitating Because strategy sessions across the US and around the globe. Her sessions have been met with rave reviews from clients, and she continues to grow and learn from each of her workshops as well.
