Helping leaders navigate change, innovation, personal branding, motivating teams, stress and imposter syndrome.

"...none of us transform our thinking on our own. Humans are masters of rationalizing hastily made choices no matter how logical we think we are. We're also exceptional at blaming whomever or whatever we can when those choices turn out badly... ~Dr. Marcia Reynolds

Just say no, save your $15K, and use it to grow your business the right way, by offering meaningful value, establishing trusting relationships and creating a brand that will grow its worth over time.

The coaches and consultants out there claiming that if you pay $10K, $15K or more for their "secret" method/program you will magically multiply your income in one launch, or one signature program really burns me up!

It takes one individual's hard-won income for a paltry return, and then teaches them how to do the same to the next person.

...Bad boss? Difficult client? Volatile relationship? You're either working on solution, or you're tolerating it. If you have a situation you are tolerating because you lack clarity about what solution could look like, let's talk.

This great quote came to me in an email from my friend and fellow coach, Krista Martin. She's right. There are no victims here. We are all volunteers, once we reach adulthood. ...

Leadership coaching helps build self-awareness.

A: Self-awareness. Self-awareness is the key to exceptional leadership, understanding what is best for us and those we serve, breaking out of the societal messaging that causes imposter syndrome, and ensures your brand is authentically you.

My team used to call me "Red Leader" because of my trademark red hair and my head-on approach to challenges. I was willing to do whatever it took to get my way, and if you crossed me, I would hold a resentment and work against you.

[Stacey Ruth, CPC @StaceyRuthSays]

I made enemies, burned relationships to the ground, and was constantly feeling like a victim, immersed in drama (a sure path to overwhelm, burnout and exhaustion.) Funny how we can change when we realize an old idea is really making life harder than it needs to be, isn't it?

[Stacey Ruth, CPC @StaceyRuthSays]

That's why I just interviewed the incredible @JinnieLeeSchid for next week's blog. It's about how we can support someone who is grieving and not jeopardize the business or relationship in the process.

[Stacey Ruth, CPC @StaceyRuthSays]

There's a lot of grief going on right now. It made me think of this powerful wake-up call from an employee when I was in the midst of a divorce, starting a new company, and grieving both loss and change. ...

[Stacey Ruth, CPC @StaceyRuthSays]

What she seems harsh, but I felt her concern, and I knew she was right.
I was prickly, demanding, quick to lash out, and damned difficult to be around, because, as a leader, I had not done my work to recognize my emotions and do the healing work for myself and my business. ...

Helping a brand come to life is exciting. Here are a couple of brands in the works right now. One is First, an event we are creating the logo, content, landing site and marketing for. The other is a website for author and coach, Dalia Kinsey.

When I started my first agency I thought I was supposed to know everything - or at least more than my team. This quote is from one of my employees who later became a business partner, and it is a much easier way to work and live - whether you are the boss, or working in the team.

[Stacey Ruth, CPC @StaceyRuthSays]

Your personal brand is built on your values and mission. It drives your impact and influence. So, naturally, when you are clear about those things, choosing your priorities and where you spend your precious time also is clearer.

Still, it is true that we can't be a light in the world if we deplete ourselves and never refill our resources. So, get a tribe - one that can keep you inspired and overflowing. It is one of the greatest sources of energy I know.

I had a long, deep conversation with a professional healer (therapist) called to work with individuals struggling emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The saying "only surround yourself with people who life you higher" would be tone deaf for her.
