The Stacey Mason Timeline
While at the University of Texas, Stacey was immersed in the competitive world of pre-Olympic-level gymnastics, first as an athlete and later as a coach.
For 18 years, Stacey led large teams in logistics and operations, global supply chain and enterprise inventory management at Walmart Inc., both from a field and corporate office capacity.
Time spent in those varied disciplines uniquely positioned her for subsequent roles held in leadership development, executive development and culture coaching at the world’s largest retailer.
Walton Institute, Walmart’s flagship culture program, was under her direction for four years where she had direct lines of communication to the Executive Committee (CEO and top 25 leaders of the enterprise).
Stacey is a successful business owner, published writer and self-described introvert and nerd.
What started out as a dare to push her out of her comfort zone evolved into a personal quest to train with some of the best improv companies in the country: the Kansas City Improv Company, Jimmy Carrane of Improv Nerd and Second City in Chicago.
She is a member of the Applied Improvisation Network, which hosts annual conferences around the globe.
She opened The Improv Lab in 2018 to help others experiment with their own perspectives and to enhance the effectiveness of teams and organizations.
Stacey gives highly personal talks through Keynote presentations about how each of us can change when we learn to embrace that which challenges us.
As her Birkman assessment will tell you, Stacey is unable to do anything halfheartedly.
