Her path

Stacey’s experience in healthcare gave her a front-row seat to the pressure leaders and teams face when expectations are high and emotions run close to the surface. She learned how to work effectively with patients, physicians, and management teams in environments where trust and clear communication matter.

She later spent five years with the largest privately owned third-party administrator in the Southwest, building wellness solutions, cost management services, and organizational trainings for companies large and small. In 2013, she joined The Nusbaum Group and has focused her work on coaching and training that helps people move to the next level personally and professionally.

Credentials that matter

Stacey holds certifications in the Social Styles Assessment Diagnostic and workplace conflict mediation through the Mediation Training Institute. Those tools matter because many leadership problems are not knowledge problems. They are communication, style, and trust problems.

Pressure-tested perspective

Stacey worked as a registered nurse across a wide range of clinical settings, so her coaching is grounded in environments where pressure, pace, and consequences are real.

Conflict and communication fluency

Her Social Styles certification and workplace conflict mediation training make her especially effective when the issue is not just performance, but how people are working with each other.

Whole-person leadership lens

Her background in wellness solutions, organizational training, and endurance athletics shapes a coaching style that balances accountability, resilience, and sustainability.

Endurance mindset

Stacey has competed in triathlon for nearly 20 years and placed second in her division in her first Ironman-distance race in 2015. That personal discipline shows up in her work: steady preparation, honest feedback, and sustained follow-through.
