about stacey olson
Strategic. Intentional. Present.
I believe our days can be so much more than just trying to keep up with it all, feeling overwhelmed or burning out, and being constantly torn between our work and personal life.
Instead, we can be more balanced, happier, and successful in our days in a way that aligns with our values, boundaries, and priorities. It’s about doing less but more of what truly matters, embracing the messiness of everyday life, and not settling for the status quo of the daily grind.
If you want to slow down the pace and focus on what really matters, navigate everyday stressors with more resilience, and enjoy a healthier work-life balance, I can help you get there. When you do, you'll perform even better, lead even stronger, and enjoy your days so much more.
I work with busy leaders, teams, and audiences of all sizes through keynotes, workshops, and coaching, both in-person and virtually. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution or tell you what to do, but help you figure out what will work for you to create more balance, stress less, and be your best both at work and at home—even with all the demands and expectations.
To be present, not perfect.
I walk my talk, and I’ve struggled with this deeply in the past—overworking, burning out, and giving my best to my work, while my family got the worst side of me. In my defense (and yours, if this is you), I had very little left to give.
I learned how to be more balanced during the most demanding time in my corporate career, and now help others work and live in a better way. And in everything I do, whether it's speaking to an audience or posting online, I share my own experiences as well navigating the messiness of everyday life.
I share more of my story in this video, and you can see me in action at a conference breakout session.
balance is an entirely different game you're playing
Not the packed calendar.
Not the “always on” mode.
Not proving your value by how much you take on.
But the space to think clearly.
The time to focus on what really matters.
The boldness to succeed without the hectic, overwhelming pace—prioritizing your personal time, mental health and well-being.
Balance isn't just boundaries—it's a more sustainable way to work, lead, and live. A way that allows you to perform at a high level and be present in your life without burning out or sacrificing what truly matters to you.
Not choosing between work or life (work is a part of your life), but having time and presence for all the important areas. To create more harmony and make your happiness a priority, too.
You can perform even better, lead even stronger, and enjoy your days far more when you do.
Still messy and imperfect.
But way better than being overwhelmed and spread thin each day or feeling like you're missing out on your life being so busy.
shifting how we work is key
Many professionals are no longer willing to hurt their mental health and well-being to get the job done. They’re no longer willing to sacrifice themselves or personal time to meet unrealistic demands. And, if you lead a team, it matters more than ever—because today’s workforce isn’t signing up to grind it out day after day.
People want more flexibility. A better way to work. A better way to live.
It’s not about working less for the sake of it. It’s about working smarter. And learning to calm your busy mind to feel balanced and be more present in your life. Because our days weren’t meant to be a grind. And we simply can’t be our best—at work or at home—when we're exhausted, overwhelmed or spread thin.
I share it all—the messy lessons, perspectives and tools to help you take back control of your days, calm your busy mind, and be there for others while you make yourself a priority too—in my book, Your Balanced and Bold Life: Work Less, Live More, and Be Your Best.
