MEET THE FIRE UP & LEAD TEAM
Stacy Whaley
Founding CEO
As the Founding CEO of Fire Up & Lead, Stacy Whaley is passionate about her mission of empowering leaders and transforming workplace cultures into enjoyable, healthy, and productive work environments where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered!
Stacy started her career at a local utility company, where she began her leadership and personal development journey. Itchy to move up the corporate ladder faster, she took a leap of faith and promotion at another company. She quickly realized how important culture and values were to workplace satisfaction and employee wellbeing.
She continued to work for different companies; however, her dissatisfaction with leadership grew each year, seeing the same lack of integrity and accountability no matter the industry or size of the company. Seeing a critical need for leadership skills development, in 2016, she took the bull by the horns and opened her own business, Fire Up and Lead! Today she’s helping companies and leaders all over the country reach their full potential.
Like many women she wears a lot of hats besides entrepreneur, she is the proud wife of 24 years, mom of five boys, and the Glamma to two beautiful grand babies. As a fifth generation Chippewa Fallsian she is passionate about supporting her community and is known to be an equal opportunity volunteerer. She’ll run that 5K, sign up for your golf outing, and buy your fundraising chocolates! She supports her community as an Election Inspector, an Advisory Board member of the Eau Claire Women’s Business Center and as the Business Resource Chair of the Northwest Wisconsin Junior Achievement.
As a manager for a couple of family medicine clinics we desire to create the best environment for our patients and our employees. My life has been impacted in a positive way with her abilities and our employees feel it as well. Her understanding of how people work, her ability to help me identify different types of employees, and the tools and resources she offers me are beyond measure. Stacy is well rounded and full of valuable information to make whoever she works with motivated to be better than they were yesterday. She has helped me create systems that keep me on task, supports me in areas I need to improve, and stays upbeat and motivated to continue to make a difference for all of us.
Kari Serum, OakLeaf Clinics – Pine Grove Family Medicine
Clinic Manager
Stacy has an uncanny ability to identify and elicit each team member’s strengths and allow them the opportunity to use then in a collective goal while reinforcing the individual’s effort, creating an environment in which people are made to feel valuable but also accountable for their own contributions. Our group has become much more collaborative and cohesive, yet has been able to individually identify and hone in on areas in which we would like to grow and improve. Stacy also has a wonderful manner of helping to shape a work place culture that is both supportive and rewarding but is based on the basic paradigms of effort, application of ones’ resources and a willingness to serve as part of a team. The symbiosis with which we now function is absolutely due to Stacy’s keen ability to observe, analyze and report back her findings in a way that is both absolutely accurate but sensitively shared such that we all feel a sense of ownership for our individual and collective work product.
Brenda Crawshaw, The Crawshaw Group
Founder & CEO of The Crawshaw Group
As a small business owner of a busy and ever expanding medical billing company, I have looked to Stacy for guidance with management of all the aspects of my business. From staffing issues to employee time management, she has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful with tips, techniques, and advise. Even though we only get to meet up virtually a few times a month, Stacy has always been a phone call away for any support I need. I truly believe that she has improved my business, employee productivity and time management for myself and my staff. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for guidance and support with leadership, staffing, coaching, etc for their business.
Andy Fitzgerald, CUUB Management
Fireside Chats Masterminds is a great sounding board and is a positive group whenever we meet. When I face challenges, I know there is an hour where I can let my guard down and not worry. The energy I take from each mastermind meeting helps me get things checked off my list.

Carol Rudd
Owner, Healing Choices Oasis
Stacy has become an expert mentor and sounding board in all areas of my business. Her services have provided me with valuable tools that have allowed me clarity and peace of mind that when I do start my team, it will be started in the best possible way – a strong foundation and a culture that is unsurpassed. I highly recommend Stacy Whaley at any point in your team building and leadership journey.
Melissa Kuchlenz
Owner, Simple Secretary
