Dr. Kasi Lacey
Keynote Speaker | Confidence Coach | Psychologist
About
As a keynote speaker, confidence and leadership coach, psychologist, former C-suite executive, and recovering perfectionist, I bring a unique blend of science, storytelling, and real world experience to help women and organizations transform the way they lead, communicate, and show up.
My work centers on two things:
- Elevating leaders through confidence, emotional intelligence, and workplace psychology
- Helping women step onto stages and share their stories with clarity, courage, and impact.
My Journey
My path has been anything but traditional. I moved out on my own at 16 and earned my Ph. D. in Counseling Psychology a decade later. I grew up with very limited resources, stepped into leadership in male-dominated spaces, and learned to claim my voice in rooms where women were not always expected to lead.
I have been the woman fighting for her seat at the table.
I have been the woman doubting her worth.
I have been the woman trying to prove she belonged.

I have been the woman trying to prove she belonged.
And I have been the woman who finally chose confidence over fear.
Today, I use every part of my story to help others do the same.
What I Offer
I support women and organizations through keynote speaking, leadership training, and coaching programs that build confidence, deepen emotional intelligence, strengthen communication, and amplify impact.
Keynote Speaking and Corporate Training
This is the heart of my work.
I deliver dynamic, psychology backed keynotes and workshops for conferences, companies, ERGs, leadership teams, and professional groups. Every session is fully personalized to the audience and designed to create lasting change.

Most requested topics include confidence in leadership, emotional intelligence, psychological safety, high performing teams, imposter syndrome, communication, and thriving workplace cultures.
Paid Speaker Coaching
For women who feel called to share their story or message, I offer coaching and programs that teach you how to become a paid speaker. This includes my signature Paid Speaker Psychology Formula, focused on clarity, confidence, connection, and conversion.
Speaking can change your business, your income, and your impact. I help women step into that role with strategy and confidence.
Private Coaching
I support high achieving women who are navigating career transitions, toxic workplaces, or confidence barriers. Together, we build clarity, communication skills, boundary setting, leadership strength, and the confidence to make powerful decisions.
Group Programs
I lead group coaching containers designed for women who want community, strategy, and support as they rebuild confidence, develop leadership skills, or expand into speaking.
Career and Confidence Resources
I offer accessible toolkits, mini courses, and guides to help women advocate for themselves, elevate their careers, and strengthen their leadership from the inside out.
My Mission
To help women own their voice, lead with confidence, and create meaningful impact in their workplaces, families, and communities.
Whether I am speaking on stage, training a leadership team, or coaching a woman behind the scenes, my goal is always the same.
To help you rise, reclaim your power, and step into the version of yourself you have always known you could be.

Testimonials
“Reading leadership books or podcasts on leadership and hoping for a life change? Been there, tried that.
Dr. Kasi Lacey was a game changer for my career! Her skills as a psychologist and successful experience as a leader in a male dominated arena helped me to discover what I was missing to bring my own goals to fruition.
I was at a place in my life where I was done following others! I wanted to take my career to the next level but struggled with the strategies and confidence to “break out” of my comfort zone and take charge.
Dr. Lacey helped me to unlock the barriers holding me back and lean into my strengths and sharpen my leadership skills. I appreciated her direct approach. Dr. Lacey pushed me when I needed to be pushed and gave me the tools to not only obtain success but to continue to challenge myself to grow into the leader I imagined becoming.
Thank you, Dr. Lacey. My only regret is not doing this sooner!”
- — Danielle M
I have really enjoyed working with Kasi over the past couple of months. She is super easy to talk to and I look forward to our sessions. I have found that they often bring me a sense of relief when it comes to both work and life related stress and anxiety. For me, feeling validated is super important and this has been a huge takeaway as it relates to a variety of work/life experiences. Kasi also does a great job of doing that active listening and following up with the right questions to where I am able to stumble upon my own insights that in hindsight seem obvious, but I would not have gotten there without some help and guidance! I definitely recommend her personal coaching services!
- Michelle T.
Dynamic, fun, and authentic presentation heralding the spirit of Rosie the Riverter reminding women of all ages to embrace their confidence and to own their future.”
- Jenn E.
Dr. Laceys ability to immediately tap into our organization’s values and how we can translate that into values-based leadership was extremely valuable.
- Kathryn W.
There are so many aspects of this presentation that made me feel seen and heard. In the day-to-day grind, it’s easy to forget that coming together with a group of women is simply powerful. Dr. Lacey’s explanation of emotional intelligence uses real-world examples but also challenges the listener to relate our own examples of unconscious gender bias in the workplace. By examining ingrained, socially accepted stereotypes, we learned tips to counter generations of imprinting, to create a better future not only for ourselves but for the generations to come.
I appreciate the energy of your presentation and your mastery of the topics. You are clearly a competent and confident leader. You represent women well! Thank you so much for coming to speak with us.

How long do you I need a coach?
The typical coaching package is six sessions; however, additional confidence boost sessions can be added on as needed.
Each coaching session is tailored to the individual and we are all in different phases, so please be mindful of your own stage.
We will intentionally celebrate each milestone and success along the way. Ultimately, my job is to put myself out of a job, and individuals engage and re-engage in services dependent upon their needs, so I am here to meet you where you are at.

How do I find the right coach for me?
Coaching is about finding the right fit and establishing a genuine connection, like discovering the perfect pair of jeans or shoes.
I recommend you think about what you want to get out of coaching, find a professional who has achieved the results or success you desire, and approach the process with an open mind to learning and growth. It also helps to look at a coach’s training, and experiences, and if you connect with their mission and values.

Where do the sessions take place?
All sessions are virtual and will take place via zoom.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching and therapy can appear similar in providing a space for people to be heard and seen. Coaching focuses on present and future and more strengths based. Traditional therapy models focus more on what is going wrong in your life, what are your symptoms or diagnosis, and making changes to address mental health concerns, like anxiety or depression.
Even though I am a licensed psychologist, I am only providing coaching services. Ultimately, my training as a psychologist and personal experience inform my coaching approach.
I use my professional experiences as a psychologist, c-suite executive, and life experiences to help high achieving women thrive in their life, address limiting beliefs, identify and recover from burnout, and unlock their authentic leadership.
Coaching is not an substitute for therapy and can work well together if needed.

Why start now?
Why not? My guess is that what you have been doing is not working and you are looking for something or someone to help you achieve your personal and professional goals. Women often hesitate to invest in themselves and you are worth the investment.
