Leadership that sticks creates momentum that lasts.
I help leaders build systems so strong - and cultures so healthy - that success continues long after the leader steps away.
Meet Marci Houseman
Founder of Chasing Impact and creator of the Leadership That Sticks Framework, Marci helps leaders build systems that last. Drawing on years of experience as a turnaround principal, executive coach and MBA candidate at Brigham Young University, she equips leaders to restore clarity, strengthen culture, and create momentum that endures.
Framework Overview
Leadership That Sticks is built on five pillars that transform leadership from momentary to lasting:
Energize
Impact
Spotlight
Engage
Enlighten
Each pillar helps. leaders design systems that are efficient, responsive, and powerful - so the work keeps moving, even when the leader moves on.

When I coach leaders, I often ask a simple question: How do you keep everyone on the same road? Most pause before answering. It’s a question that sounds straightforward until you try to map it.
I think about this question often—especially when I’m behind the wheel of our restored 1937 Chevy Business Coupe, Mabel. She’s a car with history and heart, rebuilt from the frame up.
What Mabel’s Wiring Harness Taught Me About Leadership

At the Utah Small Business Expo this week, I had an unforgettable conversation with someone who truly understood car restoration — not just the shine on the outside, but the systems under the hood that make a car come alive.
As we stood beside Mabel, my 1937 Chevy Business Coupe, he noticed something few people ever do: her wiring harness. “That’s new,” he said. “And beautifully done.”
That comment unlocked a whole story.
The Pareto Principle and the Engine of Efficiency

The Pareto Principle and the Engine of Efficiency
When leaders try to do everything, they burn out — and so do their teams. The secret to sustainable momentum isn’t doing more; it’s doing what matters most.
In this post, I explore how the Pareto Principle — the idea that 80% of results come from 20% of our efforts — can transform the way leaders use their time, energy, and resources. Like tuning an engine, leadership efficiency comes from knowing which systems drive real power, and which just make noise.
Marci helps leaders see themselves - and their systems - with clarity and courage. She's the kind of coach who restores energy, trust and direction.
