MEET THE MARKET DIRECTOR
Sasha Stair

Sasha’s transparent and open communication style has provided a critical framework for cultivating trust, teamwork, and collaboration and has been an essential component of organizational performance.

As an executive in the trenches, Sasha Stair is on a mission to help leaders and companies trade burnout for fulfillment and successfully evolve into the future of corporate leadership. Sasha is an executive leadership coach and founder of The Lead From Within Method.™ In her No. 1 best-selling book, The Inside Job: Master the World Within to Lead the Future of Corporate, she provides a blueprint for leaders to create a more positive and fulfilling workplace while breaking away from the legacy-style of leadership that no longer serves. As a result, Sasha empowers leaders to continue evolving to reach their next level of potential and purpose. She is a self-professed coffee addict accused of being a walking dad joke. Sasha lives in Scottsdale with her husband, daughter, two dogs, and two cats.
