At Collaborative Lead Training we facilitate collaboration, communication, engagement and a positive workplace culture to help your organization solve challenging problems. We use research-based organizational design theories and engaging facilitation techniques to deliver collaborative experiences for teams and groups who want to move beyond surviving to a state of thriving.

 

While we take our work seriously, what we deliver is anything but dull! Work should be enjoyable, and working with others should be, too. Collaboration—when done successfully—is fun. Our aim is to help you turn Monday morning blues into Monday morning whoo-hoos!

Collaborative Lead Training Co. was founded in 2012 by speaker and facilitator, Stacey Olson-Steele.

 

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 21st-century 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, Western University, and Royal Roads University, developed perseverance from years as an underachieving GenX'er, and enjoys life as an entrepreneur and a single mom sandwiched in a multi-generational household.​​​​
