Fractional Leadership For Purpose Led Organisations
Strategic and people leadership, part-time, to help you scale your impact sustainably.
For social enterprises, not-for-profits, and fast-growing small businesses with momentum and growing pains.
A fractional leadership partner is a seasoned executive who works with your organisation on an ongoing, part-time basis – giving you senior leadership in the mix, without the cost or commitment of a full-time role.
Is this your organisation?
You’re rich in purpose and opportunity – but stretched by the realities of growth.
There’s lots of activity and goodwill, but not enough clear strategy, structure or alignment.Leaders are carrying too much responsibility alone, with real risk of burning out and momentum stalling.You don’t need a full-time senior leader, but you do need experienced leadership in the mix.
I bring clear strategy and strong people leadership to help you lay the foundations for sustainable growth so your organisation can create more impact without burning your people out.

“I have worked with Stacey guiding a Not-for-Profit organisation for over 5 years. I can safely say that without her expertise, drive and wise counsel, the organisation would not have made such great strides with growing awareness, community involvement, and finding a solid financial footing. We have confidence in our future and where we are heading thanks to Stacey who was responsible for keeping everyone on track. If I was to have my own business, I would absolutely want her running it.”
“Stacey has been a powerhouse of organisation, cheer and font of knowledge in promoting, maintaining and progressing EMUGS. With a group of enthusiastic doctors on joining, she has herded the cats and generated a group across Australia and New Zealand with a clear focus and purpose in spreading the use and education of point of care ultrasound. As one of those cats that need herding she has mentored and coached us to be more effective in reaching our goals. I would recommend her in teaching/mentoring or coaching these leadership skills for others. She has much to give in this.”
“I have worked with Stacey for the last two years. Over that time, she has been invaluable to our organisation. Her vision, organisational skills, knowledge of corporate culture and adaptability have helped our organisation transform from a network of state-based groups to a cohesive and unified Australasian organisation, with a stronger membership base and leadership team. And additionally, she is the best meeting facilitator I have ever had the pleasure to work with! We have been incredibly fortunate to have Stacey on board, and look forward to continuing our journey, with her invaluable contribution, in the future.”
I’M an adaptive generalist with expertise in these key areas:
-
Turning purpose and energy into a clear, shared direction. Clarifying what you’re here to do, who you serve and what you will (and won’t) focus on in the next 12–24 months. Bringing everyone and everthing into alignment for greater momentum.
-
Coaching and developing key and emerging leaders as they navigate growth and change whilst building a thriving culture that supports success.
-
Weaving social impact strategies, brand elevation and governance expertise to elevate your organisation so all stakeholders can clearly see the value you create and where you’re heading.
-
Spotting gaps and friction in your customer and internal experience, then designing simple processes and ways of working – just enough structure to create clarity and consistency, without unnecessary bureaucracy.
-
Bringing all of the moving parts together, people and projects, I facilitate forward momentum through strategic alignment, collaboration and practical organisation.
Case Study
EMERGENCY MEDICINE ULTRASOUND GROUPS
From “Dying on the Resus Table” to Sustainable Growth & Impact
When I first joined EMUGs, it was a year-old movement: passionate, fast-growing and leadership was entirely volunteer-led.
There was huge demand and a clear mission, but no strategy, no governance and fragile operations.
Admin staff were burning out, work was being duplicated and there was no clear pathway for funding or structure.
In a fractional Strategy & Leadership role, I:
Led the development of a clear strategy and shared priorities
Helped recruit a board and establish basic governance
Centralised operations and designed structures for a growing volunteer community
Coached the founder through the transition to the next phase of growth
EMUGs became an organised, volunteer-led entity: clearer direction, stronger leadership, more events, significantly increased sponsorship revenue and a stable international volunteer team.
What It’s Like Having Stacey on The Team
Through understanding the whole picture and working collaboratively, we implement the key changes that will take your people and organisation where they need to go to fulfil the mission.
calm. PROFESSIONAL. CREATIVE. PRACTICAL > IMPACTFUL
Let’s See If We’re A Good Fit
I partner with a limited number of organisations each year.
If you’re a founder or senior leader of a purpose-led organisation and this sounds like what you need, book an exploratory chat.
