The Healthy Advisor: How Vulnerability Transforms Leadership with Stacie Calder


Listen Later

When Stacie Calder first joined the financial services industry, she pounded the pavement and quickly climbed the corporate ladder. But her rise came with a cost. 

In this episode, she opens up about the persona she adopted to fit a traditional mold of leadership, one that silenced her authentic voice in favor of external approval.

A turning point came when a close friend called out her lack of vulnerability, sparking a profound shift in how she showed up, not just as a leader, but as a person. That insight became a catalyst for embracing authenticity, building deeper connections, and redefining success on her terms.

In this episode, WealthManagement.com Executive Editor Diana Britton speaks with Stacie Calder, executive vice president of North American distribution and marketing at Conquest Planning, about her personal and professional evolution. The episode highlights the power of daily habits, intentional goal-setting, and community support in navigating adversity.

Stacie discusses: 

  • Her passion for fitness and nutrition, and how it shaped her early life and career
  • The pressures faced as a woman in financial services and the challenge of proving herself
  • The turbulent times of restructuring at Manulife and her eventual departure
  • Her personal experience of going through a divorce and how it altered her perspective
  • The healthy coping mechanisms that kept her grounded during challenging life transitions
  • The power of embracing vulnerability and authenticity at work
