“If you are feeling like something is not quite right in your job or career and have that awful feeling that you've lost yourself, or worse, that you're just not good at anything anymore, Stacia Neale is the woman who is going to help you.

I spent a lot of COVID-times talking about lighthouses in the storm and if your storm is work, Stacia Neale is your lighthouse, full stop. She will give you the best pep talk of your life, remind you what makes you amazing, and then send you back into the world with the tools you need to figure out what you're going to do about it. I cannot recommend her work enough and if I won the lottery I would buy a The Skills Audit package for everyone I know. “

Sian Bumsted, Toronto, ON

“I had the distinct pleasure of working with Stacia to help me take stock of my varied skill sets and experiences, to create a relevant and confidence boosting big picture and narrative of who I am and what I'm capable of doing. Not only was our work together relevant and much needed (truly, everyone should do their own Skills Audit with Stacia!!), but it unearthed themes that I wasn't even tapped into about myself. I love that Stacia uses the lens of feminism to empower clients to harness their own capabilities by not only believing in themselves, but giving new lenses through which to view ourselves and the landscape around us (whether finite such as our current workspace, or even the bigger themes like how feminism can be leveraged in the financial and business world). 100% satisfaction isn't enough to convey how impactful and wonderfully engaging our sessions were. Stacia, thank you for what you're doing - it is such important and valuable work!”

Meagan Speers, Toronto, ON

“Stacia helped me see that many of the skills that I took for granted or considered irrelevant in the workplace were highly marketable and sought after. She also brought to the fore the myriad of insidious ways that the patriarchy undermines women, particularly women of colour. Once I was able to see my skills for what they were, I was able to dream a bigger dream. Fuelled by the wisdom generated by Stacia and the skills audit, I feel more confident in my current role and less apprehensive about what the future holds. I Stacia is whip-smart, personable, passionate and your back-pocket, no-nonsense champion. If you feel that you are languishing and struggling to find what’s now or what’s next, I highly recommend Stacia and the Skills Audit.”

Tonya Reid, Toronto, ON

“I first started following Stacia on Instagram and her posts about the skills audit, learning your worth, stomping out imposter syndrome and changing oppressive systems drew me in. And in 2 incredibly valuable sessions (with some deep-thought homework for each), I can confidently say that what Stacia delivers is exactly as she describes in all her posts. After my first eye opening session, I fired off a job application with words she helped me find to describe my value. And after the second session, I have a much clearer idea of what I am and am not looking for in a career, and what I will and will not tolerate. I also wrote a very bold cover letter for an internal job application knowing that I am fully capable at succeeding given the chance to do so. I have recommended Stacia to at least 3 friends so far and will continue to do so to anyone who needs to understand their value.”

Nadine Dunk, Toronto, ON

“I love how Stacia seeks to empower women to own their skills, to proudly share them, and to pursue work that is meaningful to them. She has this incredible ability to see people. She had me pegged in no time and I’m a private, introverted person. Through lots of laughter and insight, she is able to get to the heart of the matter in a way that is frank and genuinely supportive. You will leave a session feeling like you have someone in your corner ready to support you in any way she can. A skills audit is so much more than listing your skills; it’s an entryway into a much bigger conversation into what you want in your life, what lights you up, and what you can contribute to the world. Thank you for everything, Stacia. I’m so glad we met.”

Lainie Holmes, Toronto, ON

“Stacia is phenomenal! She is authentic, present and she really listens and tailors her coaching to your needs. I was going through a career transition when I worked with Stacia and she really guided me to better understanding my skills and talents, and how I can launch my career to the next level. Stacia asks you questions that force you to consider your own blockages and her passion ignites a fire to really dig deep for answers. Doing a Skills Audit with Stacia helped me revamp my resume, refine my pitch and confidently own my skills and knowledge and offering. Working with her was one of the best decisions I have made as I pivot in my career! She isn't your typical career coach. She really pays attention to your unique needs and experience. Work with Stacia, it will be life changing!”

Zahida Virani, New York, NY

“I can’t overstate how valuable I found your Skills Audit process to be. The only way I can describe it is “Stacia Magic” - your unique ability to ask insightful questions has given me a refreshed perspective on my specific skills & talents and how I can leverage those to grow my business. Launching just before the pandemic I have had to pivot several times, and your incredible guidance and process has kept me moving forward and excited about the direction I can take my business. Everyone needs to do a Skills Audit session with Stacia - it’s a truly transformative experience!”

Jade De Ciccio Ellis, Newmarket, ON

“I can’t recommend Stacia and the Skills Audit enough; what an experience! Stacia’s unapologetic approach is a breath of fresh air, and the push forward we all need. She helps you bring forth the confidence within yourself that you forgot you had, and so naturally reminds you that you’re a superhero. She will push you outside of your comfort zone, but that’s where the magic happens. Stacia is the advocate that we all need to find within ourselves - thank you!”

Ashlee Wallace, Toronto, ON

“This was brilliant and you are brilliant. I really appreciate the incredibly safe and supportive space you created. You helped me to identify and start to understand how to push through some big self-limiting beliefs. Also, I had forgotten that I know how to shoot an arrow and now want to put that on my LinkedIn profile.”

Michelle Kushnir, Toronto, ON

“A ship's mechanic comes aboard to fix the motor. The ship's captain and engineer watch as over 5 minutes she taps on a pipes, presses her ear to the transmission and finally taps on an innocuous section of the main drive. She pulls a large hammer out of her toolbox and takes a huge swing to strike the spot she tapped. The engine roars to life. As she leaves she passes over her invoice to the ship's captain. He throws it to the deck, "I won't pay you, you didn't do any work at all! It started working because you guessed lucky". She calmly turns to him, "You could have spent two months pushing and tapping on every square inch of this engine and this ship still would not have moved. I know WHERE and HOW to give it the right push."

Stacia is unlike every other coach/advisor/mentor that I have met. She gives you the exact push you need to leverage your skills and power. Her insights and supportive demeanor were invaluable at a time that I needed it most. You could spend an entire YEAR reading motivational videos, self-guided handbooks, YouTube gurus and skills checklists and still not feel motivated, engaged and empowered to know you can do what you set your mind to. Use your time wisely, tap on the right spot, watch your ideas spin up. Call Stacia.”

Brian Band, Toronto, ON

“The skills audit helped give me a better understanding of what I’m all about.  By looking at my skills holistically, Stacia helped me see patterns in the things I like to do and make connections between those skills and what I bring to my work, which is something I wouldn’t have done independently. The session was uplifting, but without any bullshit flattery." 

Mike Troubridge, St. Albert, ON

”I had the immense pleasure of working with Stacia for a skills audit session and was deeply impressed by her knowledge and approach. It's far too easy to get bogged down by what we perceive as our shortcomings, but Stacia makes you go deep into what you CAN do, and helps you strengthen your muscles for embracing your personal and professional skills and abilities. This is such important groundwork for getting to your next step. The Skills Audit is truly Stacia's zone of genius. If you need help reconnecting with your own genius, I highly recommend reaching out to her." 

Angela Garde, Toronto, ON

“I am still buzzing from our skills audit today with the ever so talented Stacia. I went in this morning worried I didn't have enough skills written down, not knowing what to expect and was feeling down about job hunting in a pandemic, especially with littles at home. Two hours later, I have a renewed view of my 'shortcomings', pride for the skills I do have and an action plan. So grateful for this group, everyone's time today, especially Stacia!”

Michelle Silvestre, Mississauga, ON

“I cannot recommend Stacia highly enough. I found The Skills Audit at a time when I was trying to figure out what my next career step should be, and feeling quite lost about where to even start. Stacia was able to immediately pivot from looking at my skills to identifying what I really needed, which was a pep talk and several practical steps I could take to start feeling un-stuck. After our conversation I had the clarity (and homework!) I needed to make some tough decisions. Those tough decisions have resulted in new opportunities that are better aligned with where I'd like my career to go and I couldn't be more grateful.”

Sarah Weaver, Toronto, ON

“Stacia has been an incredible guide to helping me name my professional skills, recognize a multitude of strengths and empower me to challenge myself to get to the next step in my career with confidence. She specifically understands the struggles women often face in the workplace and helps to break down those barriers. If you’re stuck in your career or are looking to level up, Stacia is your go-to. The Skills Audit is an invaluable program and you won’t regret putting in the work. Invest in Stacia and invest in yourself. I highly recommend!”

Angela Rose, Toronto, ON

“I have not stopped talking about my two sessions with Stacia since a friend recommended I look into doing a skills audit. More than a reminder of the skills I have built, Stacia helped guide me through big questions and big feelings about my professional self that will forever shape how I approach my current and future career goals. And while I know everyone could benefit from Stacia's guidance, I especially appreciated her nuanced insights into what it is to be a woman in today's workforce and would not hesitate to recommend her to any of the amazing women in my life.”

Jessica Hall-Cumming, Toronto, ON

“Nothing could have prepared me for the spark I felt when speaking to Stacia. Within minutes, Stacia identified elements of how I show up in the world as though she'd known me for years. She used a word to describe me that is the perfect fit and that I will be taking forward as a touchstone for decision-making: in this moment, am I the conduit that I want to be. Stacia also gave me some spectacular advice that immediately focused me on how to find my next right thing. It's going to take time, but I have all the tools I need in order to get there. Stacia will help you see yourself in a new way and, most importantly, in a clear enough way that you can move forward, whatever the obstacles or challenges.”

Susie Berg, Toronto, ON

“Working with Stacia was truly one of the most empowering, transformative, and thought-provoking experiences I could have imagined. Stacia is tremendously skilled at what she does. In the course of a Skills Audit, she will encourage and challenge you to hone in on the skills that showcase your best abilities and that mirror your passions, and your strengths. After working with her in an Audit and in a follow-up, I feel like a spark has been lit. Stacia will show you the tools that you already have to play to your very best strengths. Additionally, Stacia has a deep understanding of people and how they work. She had a truly remarkable ability to understand me and the contexts in which I thrive within what seemed like seconds. Stacia is warm, funny, and extremely straightforward. In summary, working with her was a dream come true. Thank you!”

Jennifer Weinberger, Toronto, ON

“I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect going into the Skills Audit with Stacia. Others at work had recommended it, so I decided to give it a try. So thrilled that I did. Working with Stacia has been eye-opening and empowering. She’s helped me realize how talented and skilled I am and that I have so much to offer. More importantly, she has helped me see a new path that I want to pursue, one that I am truly excited about and that better suits me and my values. I look forward to moving forward in my career with the tools that Stacia has given me. I cannot recommend Stacia and the Skills Audit enough.”

Lee Ensor, Toronto, ON

“I have just begun working with Stacia. ONE session, yes just one, and it is already the best decision of my career. I've never been challenged and rewarded in such a meaningful and powerful way in all my professional experience. Stacia quite frankly is exactly what every corporation needs right now. Looking forward to continuing to work with Stacia.”

Paula Barbon, Toronto, ON

“As someone who is constantly looking to elevate myself in support of others, I thrive in opportunities to work on challenging questions to make that happen. Stacia not only cut through the "fluff and frivolous" stuff, she provided me with clear, honest and actionable support that inspired reflection and honest assessment, of my self and what I am hoping to accomplish. There are not that many people who make me go, "WOW!" when I am going through these kinds of processes, but in Stacia's case... "WOW!!!" is definitely in order!!”

Paul Simard, Montreal, QC

“Working with Stacia has been an absolutely invaluable and important step in my career. Just a couple sessions helped me pivot from feeling like a victim to an advocate for my own growth. She helped me realize my strengths and what gives me joy and has helped me move in a new, healthier and more fulfilling direction. I am excited about where I am heading now and I've learned some valuable tools and methods for evaluating where I am and keeping me on track. I plan to continue checking in with Stacia and I've been recommending her to all my colleagues and friends. I cannot recommend Stacia and the Skills Audit enough.”

Johanne Riva Cambrin, Calgary, AB

“Stacia is a force. Going through the Skills Audit program with her is like getting a good shake from your best friend. The process she's created drives a real rethink of one's own abilities, inherent strengths, and values, and she quickly and adeptly identifies personal roadblocks. After a little context and straight talk, you'll walk away with a more well-defined sense of what you bring to the table. She really strikes the right note of empathetic and pragmatic, and her feisty good humour is a bonus! Sign up!!!”

Siobhan Dell, Toronto, ON

“Stacia is an amazing facilitator and is incredible at making you take a deep dive into your skills inventory. She definitely creates a safe place for you and I left the session being reminded of how versatile and how talented I truly am. This is an extremely beneficial exercise for anyone, especially if you are in a transition. I did both the Skills Audit and the Follow-up, and have a great framework on assessing my next move. Thanks for giving me the proper guidance that I needed.”

Christine Elmarji, Toronto, ON

“The Skills Audit service has been an invaluable resource in determining the skills that will allow you to stand out and separate yourself within a crowded job marketplace. Stacia’s insightful and pragmatic approach really allowed me to delve deep into the skills that make up the sum of me. From there, she took the time to help me determine which of my skills really drive my enjoyment in the work I do. Stacia’s system also will also provide you with a shot of confidence to see how accomplished you really are. The process allowed me to recognize skills that were either dormant or I didn’t think were applicable to being my full self. I would highly recommend Stacia and the Skills Audit offering. Completing the audit has allowed me take the first step towards a better work life with absolute conviction.”

Craig Walsh, Toronto, ON

“…Wherever you are in your career path, the value of this conversation with Stacia cannot be overstated. The insight she provides is an important part of the journey to self-awareness – knowing how to see and value yourself, and to see and value opportunity.”

Sarah Lebar, Toronto, ON

“I recently did a skills audit and follow up session with Stacia and it has completely changed the way I think about myself, my experiences and what I have to offer in this world. I would recommend this to anyone in any stage of life; whether a recent grad or someone looking to transition to a different industry. Stacia creates a safe space where you can show up as yourself and discover your strengths so you can plan how you will get to where you want to be.”

Filipa Doak, Hamilton, ON

“I participated in a small group skills audit and an individual follow-up with Stacia. Both were incredible for different reasons. The initial small group session was so helpful in getting really specific about my skills that underlie bigger picture strengths and characteristics (like leadership, organization, negotiation, problem-solving), which was way harder than I anticipated. Stacia helped me see the skills I use everyday as valuable and pushed me to consider skills that have been lying dormant for a long time. In the follow-up, I found it so valuable to dig deeper and get really specific about my professional skills and what I do that’s so amazing on a daily basis, which (for me) is challenging to recognize at times. We were able to come up with a really concrete plan with actionable steps to identify my skills, where I need to build skills, and how to do that and leverage it for future jobs. It was exactly what I was looking for in terms of growth and development. Stacia is a fabulous coach, cheerleader, and guide. Highly recommend!”

Kate Cressman, Guelph, ON

“The skills audit process with Stacia has been amazing. Building that list of skills was powerful in itself, but it has been about so much more. With honesty and directness, Stacia helped me to identify the false beliefs I held about myself and my work ... to acknowledge what was holding me back ... and to see what matters most to me professionally and personally. Thank you for helping me to focus on my creative needs and find clarity around my next steps.”
