Hustlin’ In Heels NBI Studios

 This is a must-listen episode. Stacey and Kelsey are joined in the studio by Stephanie Hoffman, Director of Open Doors Kalamazoo and a believer in Compassionate Leadership. Stephanie talks about the value of the human experience and how important it is to speak to the being of who the person is. She also talks about the importance of truth and how she tells her residents, “Tell us the truth and we can work with it.” Listen in and learn more about serving from the heart.

Stacey and Angie are joined in the studio this week by former Notre Dame Women’s Basketball player Melissa Lechlitner and her fiancé Sam Lewis. The ladies chat about setting goals and then crushing them…and maybe writing them down in a notebook starting in middle school. Melissa also talks about playing for Muffet McGraw and the three traits of great leaders. Melissa and Sam talk about not living a life defined by the expectations of others or society, and having the courage and confidence to be yourself.

Stacey and Angie sit down in the studio with Patricia Muellen, owner of P. Muellen and Associates, to chat about taking chances and seizing opportunities when they come your way. Patricia talks about setting boundaries and expectations when you own your own business and are expected to be “on” 24/7. The ladies also talk about leading with authenticity and the emotional toll that can come with being a public person. The conversation gets deep…and the end result is providing permission to be your own self.

When you identify your priorities and work comes in a distant fourth place, it’s easy to be a leader who values people over profits. This week, Stacey and Angie sit down with Scott McFarland, the forward-thinking CEO of Forbes Ranked #1 Credit Union in Michigan, to chat about his views on leadership and his “rules” to live by. Scott also talks about the role his faith plays in his life as a leader both in business and in community.
