STACEY ASHLEY'S NEWSLETTER

I'm in my hotel room in Dubai preparing for tomorrow’s leadership excellence masterclass and thinking about what to write for this week's newsletter.

Instead of sticking to the script, I have decided to share a secret.

One month into 2026 and I have had multiple conversations with CEOs about what really matters to them when it comes to creating the opportunity for their people to thrive and to contribute.

There are some key themes coming up.

With the state of the world as it is, one of the most critical opportunities for every CEO, and I would say crucial to their success, is to build trust.

I'm excited to share my 2026 Speaker Kit with you.

Aligned with our theme for the year, AMPLIFY, this features the most requested topics and programs we are delivering to our clients around the globe.

If you're looking for clarity, focus and impetus for your leadership strategy and development, I'd love to help you out.

What is it to be a leader right now?

We all recognise that we live in a time of rapid evolution. The increasing complexity of our environment. The rise of technology in our work and world. And so, the role of leadership continues to evolve.

The power is in the planning.

I have three simple questions for you to help you reflect and gain focus and clarity about how you want your 2026 to play out.

Imagine the possibilities if true leadership was shared more broadly, more consistently, and for the good of all.

One of the most challenging aspects of the CEO role is there are so many things you could be influencing. The key to your impact though, is understanding which are the right things, and when is the right time.

During the last 3 weeks I have been travelling and working with leaders in four different countries. And regardless of the country, or the industry, or the size of the organization, the questions from senior leaders are the same.

I'm a Certified Master Coach!

This year I decided to extend my learning in the coaching space and undertake a program to become a Certified Master Coach. As well as successfully completing the program this month, I was honoured to speak on behalf of my fellow master coach graduates at the convocation in Kuala Lumpur last weekend.
