About this episode
Stacey Kravitz has spent over 20 years building her career in food and grocery, moving from sales rep to the president of a national distribution company. She is decisive, results-driven, and self-described as someone who always had the answers. Then she took a coaching certification and discovered that having the answers was exactly what was holding her back as a leader.
In this episode, Stacey is candid about the struggle of wearing a leader hat and a coach hat at the same time, the coaching session from 15 years ago she can still recall word for word, why she was once passed over for a promotion because a boss couldn’t deliver an honest conversation, and what she means when she says coaching gave her leadership more substance. It’s a rare look inside what happens when a senior executive becomes a genuine student again.
