Bio

stacey kauffman

I believe strongly in the adage, “the rising tide lifts all boats!” and in the power of “we.” We can all learn from each other; in fact, I’ve found my children to be my greatest teachers! My mission is to share experiences and lessons that I’ve caught, in hopes of helping others. I do this as a leader, speaker, mentor, and partner.

Why? Because life is complicated. It is hard AND beautiful, joy AND sorrow, highs AND lows, personally AND professionally. So, why not help each other?! There are some things in life that you need to experience yourself to capture the lesson, but some lessons can be learned from and through others. It is my hope that you’ll find at least a couple of the latter here.

They say your children can be your greatest teachers. I have found that to be true; here are mine!

mission

I am mission- and purpose- driven, and it is important to me to share those values with the businesses I work with and the people I surround myself with. I am grateful for the opportunities, mentors, resources and experiences on my journey thus far, and that is why helping others and paying it forward is important to me. I truly believe in the adage that the rising tide lifts all boats!

My core value is integrity. It is more important for me to get it right than to be right, and I am willing to get uncomfortable, take risks, and make mistakes in that pursuit. I believe especially as leaders, it is our responsibility to set that example, and to create safety and vulnerability around that idea. My team, partners, family and friends know they have my commitment that, “I will not always get it right, but I will always make it right.”
I view my “life is a work-in-progress journey” in four key areas: personal growth, professional growth, leadership growth, and impact. My mission here is to share some of what I’ve learned along the way, in hopes it may help you or your business. Some things you can learn from others or osmosis, and some you have to learn for yourself. I’m hoping you’ll find at least a few of the former around here.
