Transformative 1:1 coaching for women in executive roles — breaking through self-doubt and building the communication, clarity and presence that defines lasting leadership.
Who I Am
I'm Stacy Bahnsen — an Executive Leadership & Life Coach based in Birmingham, Michigan. After years in organizational development and HR leadership, I discovered my true calling: helping driven women unlock the confidence and clarity they already carry within them.
Whether you're navigating a new leadership role, managing a team for the first time, or simply feeling stuck — I provide a safe, confidential space where real transformation begins. My coaching style is honest, direct, and deeply personalized.
What I Offer
Personalized 1:1 sessions focused on building executive presence, strategic thinking, and the people skills that elevate good managers into great leaders.
↗From difficult conversations to boardroom presence — master the art of communication that builds trust, respect, and lasting influence within your team.
↗Navigating a new role, industry pivot, or personal crossroads? Gain the clarity and courage to move forward with intentionality and purpose.
↗Identify and dismantle the internal blocks holding you back. Build unshakeable confidence from the inside out — and lead without second-guessing yourself.
↗Immersive leadership training workshops for corporate teams. Topic-based training followed by live 1:1 coaching for real-time learning and transformation.
↗HR and operations consulting: succession planning, meeting facilitation, employee handbooks, payroll planning, and comprehensive operational support.
↗How It Works
A free 30-minute conversation to explore where you are, where you want to be, and whether we're a great fit for the journey ahead.
Together we design a personalized coaching plan built around your specific challenges, goals, and the kind of leader you want to become.
Weekly or bi-weekly 1:1 sessions that combine powerful questions, honest feedback, and practical frameworks — plus ongoing text and phone support.
Real change requires real accountability. Between sessions, I check in, challenge you, and celebrate your wins — because momentum matters.
Watch your communication sharpen, your confidence deepen, and your team's trust in you grow. You don't just get a better leader — you become your best self.
Client Stories
About a year ago, I reached out to Stacy who had mentioned she was helping others navigate transitions in the corporate world. Our initial conversation sparked my interest so much that I chose to hire her as my coach — and coach me she did! Always kind and insightful, and never vague. She wasn't telling me what to do — she was asking me questions to get me thinking in ways I hadn't before. Give yourself the gift of Stacy. She is worth it.
If you are considering hiring a Business Leadership or Life Coach, look no further. Stacy is highly skilled at what she does and you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!
I came to Stacy stuck and uncertain. Within three months I had a clear vision, a stronger voice, and the confidence to ask for — and get — the promotion I'd been afraid to pursue.
Stacy has a rare ability to hold space while simultaneously challenging you. My team relationships completely transformed after working with her on my communication style.
