Alex Stacey James

Through working with executives at organisations like Accenture and HubSpot, I've witnessed how personal mastery creates leadership impact:

- Clear thinking within complexity → Better strategic decisions
- Disciplined energy management → Sustainable high performance
- Mindful prioritisation → Focused execution that matters
- Candid communication → Trust-based leadership
- Emotional agility → Resilience under pressure

To achieve this, our partnership goes beyond traditional executive coaching. Using a rich tapestry of transformational methodologies, we explore:
- Unconscious patterns shaping your leadership
- How to best leverage your unique intrinsic and extrinsic motivations 
- A holistic performance strategy to help you achieve sustainable excellence

My approach combines warmth with direct challenge, creating a rare space where:
- Complex questions find clarity
- Blind spots become breakthrough insights
- Leadership presence deepens naturally
- New unseen potentials unfold

Drawing from expertise in human behaviour and transformational change, I offer strategic insight and personal partnership. You'll find support for immediate challenges while developing lasting mastery of your inner landscape.

Clients often share that our work together reveals possibilities they hadn't imagined—ways of leading and living that feel more impactful and meaningful.

Executive Partnership options include 6 or 12-month packages. To learn about my packages and pricing please email alexstaceyjames@gmail.com.

Strategy Leaders
✔️Do you want to attract the top 10% in the top tier to your business?
✔️Would you prefer to interview just a few excellent candidates instead of wasting your time meeting multiple unsuitable candidates?
✔️Do you want your recruiter to produce a diverse shortlist of candidates?

Management Consultants
🌟Are you interested in exploring the market but don’t know where to start?
🌟Do you want your recruiter to be extremely well connected and also offer career coaching, full interview preparation, and be skilled in salary negotiation?
🌟Do you want to use a recruiter that is endorsed by many of your peers?

If so, you are not alone as this describes most of my contacts at some point in their careers and as I have been recruiting strategy management consultants since 2000 I have worked with many.

This is why in 2019 I launched Oaktree Talent alongside my business partner Ilan Leshetz. We have helped hundreds of clients connect with expert consultants, many from McKinsey, Bain or BCG, and as a result, their businesses have excelled.
