Step Confidently into Change

Let’s admit it, this world is changing more rapidly than most people can handle. The ground around us is shaking, and we are simply “holding on” till it stops shaking. 

What if I tell you, that the ground will never stop shaking, but you will learn how to stand firmly and be stable in the uncertainty? Seems unreal? It’s not! I promise. 

Simple, slight, subtle changes can create massive shifts in our lives! You will build stability and strength to confidently step into your decisions and an ever-changing world.

  • Goal Setting for Accountability

  • Execution and Motivation Development 

  • Sharpening interviewing confidence, refining resume

Restoring Wellness in a Weary World

Wellness begins by refocusing on who you are, and what resources you have in your life. Then we create the world you want to live in.  

First, we focus. Then we explore. Then we build skills. Then you thrive!

Skills you will master are: 

  • Grounding and Mental Clarity

  • Establishing Healthy Boundaries and Work Life Integration

  • Emotional Resilience

  • Restorative Habits and Energy Management

  • Purpose and Fulfillment 

  • Intuitive Strength and Connections to Your Source

Career Challenges: Burnout, Loss of Passion

Research shows that 87% of professionals report not having a fulfilling career, with nearly all wanted to do something else in the next year. “Career burnout” numbers are up 64% since the start of COVID. 

Mental health short-term leave is at the highest level ever recorded. 

When we are not connected to our calling, we do “work that is misaligned with our values and purpose. Then our days are filled with sustained overwork and high pressure. Finally, as technology brings changes to our careers, we start to lack control and autonomy.  

Eventually, we find ourselves exhausted, unmotivated, unhealthy, and asking "Is this it? Is this my life?” 

Does this ring true to you? 

If you are left empty (emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically) during your “work”,  why are you not taking control before you lose control? 

Burnout and silent quitting are avoidable and can be fixed. To do so, we focus on: 

  • Passion Alignment

  • Prioritizing Recovery and endurance

  • Leveraging Curiosity into Growth

  • Reframing your Mindset

  • Establishing a Support Network

Health is a state of the body. Wealth is the state of the bank account. Wellness is a state of being.

Why does personalized coaching matter?

Research and experience has shown me that a one-size-fits-all coaching rarely leads to true growth and transformation. With my personalized coaching, I meet you where you are, challenge your unique barriers and unlock the specific strategies and develop skills that align with YOUR goals and strengths. 

It all begins with YOU. 

You are worth the investment of coaching, and that investment will make all the difference. 

As Brene Brown says: ‘If checklists and “box checking” worked, our society would not be the unhealthiest, most indebt and “silent quitting” are we are now.”

Mentoring

  • “I got the job I have been dreaming about, it is finally mine. I know that without working with you, I would not have found my own way, this confidence nor done the preparation needed to win it!”

    Nicole, MN

  • “From my time talking with Stacey, I have “Stacey-ism” on posted notes. I use these as gentle reminders of what I have discovered and learned about myself. I now believe I can be authentically myself, am living my dreams and fully engaged in life and work.”

    Michelle, Denver

  • “I had a few barriers that kept me from moving forward in life. I wasn’t sure what to do and felt stuck. I tried to get through it with friends and family, but it did not work. It actually really affected my life. My friend had told me about her experiences with Stacey and in a short time, I broke through my walls. I now realize my own strengths and power and am living more in balance and success. I see myself again, and love what I see.”

    Kathleen, Pueblo

  • “Stacey’s abilities to ask grounding questions, completely listen, and help me discover my own truths are priceless. Not only have I seen changes in managing and succeeding through challenges, but so has my family. Things feel good, I feel good again. I wish that I would have started working with her years ago.”

    Mike, Austin

The Philosophy Behind Graceful Emergence: Empowering Career Changes

My journey is not linear, but there is a red thread: realizing human potential, servant leadership and serving others. I have coached hundreds of professionals into better careers or to blaze a new path into something more fulfilling. I have mentored just as many into new job opportunities that have not just served their careers, but their lives! 

 I have navigated career shifts and significant life earthquakes. I read the books, took the cheap “how-to courses” and saw little changes. Nothing worked until I began working with trained coaches that focused me on my career, my healing, and my wellness.

From them and by spending nearly 4 years in an accredited coaching university, I have learned the skills, developed the tools, and mastered the practice of coaching. 

Why am I a great coach? I know how to ask the right questions, keep the proper focus, and be accountable in a world without accountability. I have the experience, training, credentials, passion, and knowledge to do what I do exceptionally well.

Time wasted rationalizing the mediocre could be time spent creating the magnificent. -Jen Sincero

Stacey Simms’ Journey: What Did I Learn (so far) in my life?

I learned self-compassion, felt grace, focused on healing in an unhealthy society, and co-facilitated transformation with great mentors, coaches, and therapists. 

I discovered no gurus, self-help books, or shortcuts to success. I had to do “the work” for myself and on myself to develop myself. 

I also learned that I am a healer and facilitator of growth. I have dedicated years of formal study to becoming a coach, a healer, and a great human. 

I am grateful for my journey and for emerging each day with more passion, health, and wealth than before.
