Collaborative Lead Training is a corporate training company dedicated to helping people navigate the challenges of working together. We began in 2012 by owner and lead facilitator, Stacey Olson-Steele, and are based in Kamloops, BC. We deliver keynote presentations, collaborative facilitation, and professional development workshops across western Canada.
While collaboration is key to a profitable future, working together presents many challenges. Our training is based on the collaborative leadership philosophy which results in a positive company culture and a healthy, profitable organization because it encourages engagement, communication, and psychological safety.
Our Values
We are on a mission to help people navigate the challenges of working together. Our work at Collaborative Lead Training is rooted in our core value statement:
We all belong here
(equity, diversity, inclusion)
to help solve problems
(curiosity, innovation, lifelong learning)
together.
(community, connection, collaboration)
With a 20-year career that spans public and higher education, corporate media and corporate training, Stacey has worked with private, public and franchise organizations across Canada.

In 2012, Stacey created the Traditional vs Collaborative Leaders infographic. It went viral and was featured on Inc.com, LinkedIn, and Medium and translated into 3 different languages including Persian. The infographic resonated with the new millennium workforce who wanted more from their jobs and more from their leaders. It was then that we realized:
The workplace has changed.
Leadership has changed.
The future is collaborative.
As the lead collaboration facilitator, Stacey helps organizations collaborate, communicate, and engage. Her workplace training and development events are based on the collaborative leadership philosophy.
Stacey is active in her community and is currently Chair of the City of Kamloops Arts and Culture Engagement Group. She received book smarts from the University of Calgary (Bachelor of Fine Arts), Western University (Bachelor of Education), and Royal Roads University (Graduate Certificate of Organizational Development & Design). Stacey credits her perseverance from years as an underachieving GenX’er and enjoys life as an entrepreneur and a single mom sandwiched in a multi-generational household.​​​​
