Coming from an entrepreneurial upbringing, Stacey learned early on how we consistently show up and interact determines our success in our organizations and in our lives. Starting with a career in voice-over, she quickly realized how every word matters - every movement of your body matters and every sound you make matters (volume, tone and inflection). All of these combined determines who listens, who stays connected with you, who believes you and then acts on your recommendation.

Stacey was one of the most organized, responsible, with great energy speakers we've worked with.
Stacey presented for the MDRT (an association by and for financial advisors all around the world). She presented for 5,000 members in-person plus online attendees. She was rated as outstanding and ranked in our top 5 among 15 professional speakers. Stacey was one of the most organized, responsible, with great energy speakers we've worked with. She made our task so easy and her topic on leadership and how to influence on a daily basis was full of lots of great information. We were really sad to not be able to give her more time on stage!

You ‘lit up’ the Chicago SHRM Elevate conference.
Being in a virtual environment didn’t stop the energy from coming through. When you gain trust and respect from your audience, you can influence in a virtual environment. Pause, say less and speak with your eyes! You show us how. Thanks for an actionable presentation.

Your presentation gave me a way to structure my communication interactions in a repeatable, effective way. It definitely called out key “blocks” to build upon and after getting comfortable with one to make sure I continue to focus on new “blocks.” Recording yourself, working on pausing and voice inflection has made an immediate impact on my calls so far.
