Strategy Sessions
Sometimes you’re working so hard on something that you are not able to see flaws, weaknesses, or gaps because you are so close to it. Or, you’re moving so quickly you might not have time to get the feedback you’d like on your ideas or deliverables.
How do you make sure your strategy, strategic plan, initiative roadmap, or other key deliverable is really ready to share with stakeholders or a board of directors?
We’ve tailored facilitated sessions to support readiness as you shift from planning to shining in the implementation.
Our sessions are tailored to meet your needs, with agendas aimed at making the most of the time:
– 1:1 meeting for 30 minutes
– Team meetings for 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2 hours
Sessions are designed for one-time use, but subscriptions for monthly sessions are available to support strategic programs to provide strategic advisory support. Targeted recurring support helps with accountability, quality, risk management, adjusting to changes, and more – creating high value for an affordable investment for clients of all sizes.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
PRE-WORK + FACILITATED SESSION + FOLLOW-UPS
All of our Strategy Session services include the same overall approach:
– Select the session you want in The Strategy Hub.
– Part of enrollment requires information about your area of focus for the session. You will select your timing for the meeting as part of the enrollment process, and you will receive the agenda for the session as well.
– At least 24 hours prior to the session, you’ll provide any additional details about your strategy or focus area so the team can review the material. We want to be prepared to add value during the meeting.
– In the meeting, we’ll capture notes and action items. Those will be reviewed at the end of the meeting and shared with you following the meeting.
THE VALUE COMES THROUGH ENGAGEMENT
To get the most out of this service, it’s best to interact with the Strategic Stacey team as early as possible after signing up to ensure there is time to prepare.
Our team cares about making a positive difference and wants to put in the up-front effort to make the meeting an excellent experience for you, your team, your stakeholders, and your future.
It’s also important that you reach out after the meeting if you have questions.
A support space has been set up within The Strategy Exchange, our membership community. It contains free areas for support on every product and service for support, reviewing FAQs, and requesting assistance from the Strategic Stacey team to make sure you get the most out of your experience with this service.
Strategic Stacey is all about strategy and helping people and companies achieve their goals, and we want to be a strategic solution. For clients who want and need a targeted solution, we believe this is a unique offering that will help clients achieve their goals without requiring huge contracts and long-term commitments.
As always, we are offering an introductory price on the new services – $20 off for individual sessions, with greater discounts for subscriptions ordered through May 30. It’s a great deal!

As an example, webinar-style training may be held for this group exclusively and filmed for access by the other groups.

OUR MISSION
Empower and support a talented, capable community to define and manifest their future success
Hi, I’m Stacey Vail, and I’ve been consulting with companies and clients on their improvements and transformations for more than 30 years. I believe that work structures today are making jobs and careers more difficult to maneuver.
I started Strategic Stacey because you deserve support and resources to help you thrive — whatever that means for you.
We should have a little fun along the way too!
I’m opening my toolkit and best practices to share with all of you. The tools will help you expand your skillset and capabilities. Or, if you have a specific challenge to solve, we can address it. Whether you choose to participate alone or actively with our community, resources are coming! We’re happy that you’re here.
What Else is on the Roadmap?
These items are already in the works, with limited availability to specific audiences. We wanted to share so you can see what’s in the pipeline, and we’ll refresh this space often so you can see what will soon be available.
STRATEGY BRAINSTORMING SESSION 1:1 (30 min.)
Schedule a one-to-one virtual strategy brainstorming session with one of our team members to work through your strategic plan, strategy on a specific topic or issue you’re working on, or another topic of your choosing.
This service is now live, with introductory pricing through May 30.
“WE/THEY PERSPECTIVE”
The “We / They” perspective is an approach Strategic Stacey has used throughout her career that helps maintain objectivity and empathy when examining a business challenge.
The approach is particularly helpful in gaining a true understanding of current state, which often establishes trust needed to persuade stakeholders to agree to changes that are needed.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE SELF-ASSESSMENT
We all experience times when we are burned out, tired, and in need of down time.
But how can we proactively take inventory of how we’re doing and have a strategy in place to stay ahead of things so that we can take a break before we hit a point of burnout? This tool will help you do just that.
