About Stacey

She who will rise again.

On 2 December 1990, Stacey Copas broke her neck. She was twelve. It left her a quadriplegic and in a wheelchair for life.

That was the first time life rocked her to the core. It wasn't the last.

Financial ruin. Divorce. A business decimated by a pandemic. Each time, she discovered something that took years to name: she was more capable than her circumstances. More powerful than what had happened to her. And what was available on the other side: the purpose, the relationships, the version of herself she hadn’t met yet. Beyond anything she’d let herself want before.

Decades of rebuilding, and working with others to do the same, is the foundation of everything she teaches.

Stacey is a keynote speaker, writer of How to Be Resilient, and founder of Resilience Rocks®. Her name, Stacey, comes from the Greek Anastasia: she who will rise again. She doesn't take that lightly.

Who This Is For

Succeeding on the outside.
Falling apart on the inside.

01
Founders in crisis

The business, the relationship, the health. Something has broken or is close to it. You need a method to rebuild, not just advice to stay positive.

02
Senior leaders under pressure

High-performing on every external measure. Running on empty on the inside. Looking for something that actually works under pressure.

03
Executive groups & conferences

EO, Vistage, YPO, Chambers. Groups whose members are carrying more than it looks like from the outside, and ready for a different conversation.

Keynotes

Talks that change the conversation
in the room.

The Presence Advantage

High-performers are trained to focus on what's next at the expense of what's now. This talk names the cost, and offers a practical way back to the steady ground that makes everything else possible.

Strength Before It Breaks

Most resilience conversations start after the breakdown. This one starts before it. For leaders who want to build the capacity to handle what's coming while they still have the energy to do it properly.

The Capacity to Keep It

Getting to the top is one challenge. Staying there without losing yourself is another. For the people who've already built something, and want to keep building without running on empty.
