Mary Cait McManamon
Sales and Marketing Coordinator
Meet Mary Cait McManamon! She is our Sales and Marketing Coordinator. After graduating in May of 2020 from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with degrees in Entrepreneurship and Marketing, Mary Cait moved back to her home state of Minnesota. When she’s not marketing Fire Up & Lead, you can find her running her marketing business, MCMktg.

Mary Cait loves to stay involved through volunteering and is also a board member with Women Entrepreneurs of Minnesota. When not managing social media, you can find her teaching exercise classes or spending time with her family.
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.
