Stacey Olson
Stacey L. Olson is a Leadership and Positive Psychology Certified Coach and has more than 15 years of corporate experience. She works with leaders and professionals at all levels, many of who have the daily juggle of work, kids and rest of life -- all the things -- helping them to create more balance and less stress without sacrificing their performance.
Stacey has also gone through her own transformational change from being close to burning out trying to juggle her own demanding corporate career and family life to now thriving (even in the messiness of everyday life) and figuring out what it really takes to have it all . . . hint, you have to stop doing it all!
You can lead even stronger, perform even better, and enjoy life so much more when you do!

“I've never felt more seen than through your words on these pages.”
There is a better way
to be successful than what we've been taught or told all our lives.
Being busy, overwhelmed and working long hours, while sacrificing your well-being and family time, is simply not necessary and it is hurting your performance.
It's keeping you from being your best as a leader, as a parent, as a person.
Stacey Olson, CPPC, Leadership and Positive Psychology Certified Coach
I'm Stacey!
I work with leaders and teams who want to go from being too busy and burning out to creating more balance, well-being and higher levels of performance.
You can work less and be more effective. You can feel happier and be your best at work and home even with all the demands and messiness of everyday life. You can lead by example by taking care of yourself and focusing on what really matters, creating a positive ripple effect for others around you.
This all starts with an understanding that our happiness and well-being fuel performance and success. Yet this is what's often sacrificed to "get the job done". The traditional thinking that if we just work harder, we will be successful and then we'll be happy, is backward and is undermining performance.
Because it is really hard to be your best when you are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, scattered and pulled in so many directions, or sacrificing your values and what’s important to you.

What people are saying...
"Working with Stacey has allowed me to learn how to prioritize my most important work, build boundaries around my workday and since working with her I’ve felt less overwhelmed and more productive in my days."
Jenel
PROJECT LEAD
"When I first started, I was feeling so off-balance with life. Now, I feel so much better! I am far more balanced, I feel calmer, and I am way less overwhelmed in my day. This allows me to see more clearly the things that matter the most and focus my time and energy on those things, and I feel proud of myself and what I have done each day."
Kendra
Director
"I am cultivating a new understanding of what success means to me, to ensure that I am able to deliver great job performance, but also personal balance and satisfaction."
Tamara
architect
"Deeply committed to helping clients with transformational change. I highly recommend her!"
I had the pleasure of working with Stacey in the corporate world at FCC, where she was a stellar portfolio and project manager. She was viewed as a high-potential employee and was leading the Enterprise Portfolio Management Office when she left FCC to follow her passion, which is bringing out the best in others through coaching.
As a seasoned coach and consultant, I am proud to be a mentor of Stacey’s. She is intelligent, perceptive, warm and
deeply committed to helping clients with transformational change. I highly recommend her!

You Matter Too
The idea of making myself the number one priority has never rung true for me, because if I were truly doing so, there are A LOT of things I would NOT do.
Such as picking up my teen from a friend’s house at midnight when I’d rather be sleeping. Or rearranging my day when a family member is in town or a team member needs something, even though I’d rather stick to my plan.
But what I definitely don’t do anymore is put myself last and everyone else’s needs first.
I matter too. YOU matter too.
“Make yourself your number one priority” can sometimes sound simplistic, even misleading. If you were to take this advice literally, your life would probably look radically different, and likely not in a caring or fulfilling way.
It's about making yourself a priority AND being there for others. A dance between taking care of your needs and caring for others. Understanding that you matter too—not above everything else, but alongside it.
But make no mistake – caring for yourself is JUST as important as caring for others, and sometimes even more so.
This perspective invites you to reassess your choices and actions, ensuring they align with your personal needs, values, connections, and commitments to others.
It can help you recognize that, while you might not be the only priority, you are a significant one. This balance is crucial to the harmony of your life and being your best for others.
Now, if your tank is on empty, taking care of yourself first is likely the best thing to do – the idea of putting on your own oxygen mask before assisting others on the plane.
When you are exhausted or burned out, it’s much harder to be there for others in a meaningful way. This is not selfish. In fact, it is essential if you are going to be there for others in the best way you can.
Besides, sometimes we do have to be selfish!
A guiding question for me as I’ve been learning to make my needs more of a priority and still be there for others in the way I want is this . . .
Am I doing this because I care about you or want to do it? Or am I doing this out of obligation or because I’m worried you’ll be mad at me if I don’t?
This guides my choices with the latter being a "no" for me, which helps me to be more balanced in my life and as a leader, and can help you do the same.
You can’t be there for everyone. Let go of the guilt. Figure out your own balance in making yourself a priority and being there for others.
And always remember, YOU matter too.
What is one thing you can do this weekend to make your own needs a priority and still be there for others?
