You can’t fix what you can’t see. I help leaders see it, measure it, and fix it.
Pamela Stambaugh
Who I work with
I partner with CEOs and senior leaders who suspect leadership behavior is costing them money and want to see exactly where.
We start with the Leadership Gap X-Ray™, which shows the gap between how a leader sees themselves and how their team experiences them. The yearlong 52 Success Accelerators + Action Multipliers® program then turns what we find into weekly practice, built on the 7 Dimensions of Team Power™.
I’m inviting ten companies ready to measure what great leadership is worth in profit.
Most companies measure what employees do. Very few measure how much more those employees would willingly give under better leadership. The Impact of Discretionary Effort on Profitability is a 12-month study that measures that gap inside each company, in its own numbers. All ten will be featured as case studies in a forthcoming book.
The first step is a conversation about your business, not a presentation. Please schedule an hour. Here is my CALENDAR LINK.
I support HR leaders who want hiring, development, and succession decisions backed by behavioral data.
As a Harrison Assessments Managing Partner since 1999, I use the Harrison Assessment® to measure the behavioral tendencies that predict success in a specific role. From selection to succession, that gives HR teams a factual, shared language for recruiting, developing, and retaining the people the business depends on.
If you are a decision maker in an organization who wonders the value of the Harrison Assessment, you can experience it. I will arrange with you for a full personal debrief of your results with me when you schedule :15 with me on this Calendar Link so that I can send you the link to take the Harrison Assessment and schedule that debrief. You can explore its full capabilities at Accountability Pays Harrison Assessments.
My purpose in life
My purpose in life — my raison d’être— is inside of a commitment that leaders lead with integrity, with love and listen for peoples’ greatness. I also realize and operate from an awareness and acceptance that we are all human beings with human failings. It’s the climb that matters. With leaders who are committed to integrity, love, and generous listening as a way of being, employees can feel safe and safety makes trust possible. Trust is never assured, is earned and always needs to be nurtured. We are in the HUMAN condition, not the PERFECT condition.
I will stand for you and by you on your journey to your desired outcomes, and support YOUR commitments from inside of MY commitment.
“Pamela Stambaugh has been my secret weapon in business for decades. She coached my team, advised me privately, proofed my new ideas, and held me accountable for my goals and commitments. And she did it all in a way that I felt my best friend was advising me, not a compliance supervisor. I admire and trust her, and so have many of the biggest names in business growth. Give her a call.”

My specialty
Bringing diagnostics to the “squishy people stuff”
For 27 years I have advised C-suite executives and senior leadership teams on the human factors that determine business performance. I find where leadership behavior is quietly costing a business money, and I measure it, so the conversation rests on evidence instead of opinion. Then I stand by you through the change, without stepping over the conversations we need to have to bring you, your team, and your organization to your A-Game.
I bring executive coaching, team facilitation, and behavioral diagnostics to that work, using my own frameworks alongside the Harrison Assessment®, which I have interpreted as a Managing Partner since 1999.
I am an International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified executive coach and hold an MBA from the University of San Diego. I am also a Certified Professional Expert, one of the Founding 50 experts certified by the Cathcart Institute, Jim Cathcart, whom I coached for 10 years.

Pamela at play
What I do when I’m not at work
My husband, Larry and I live in a San Diego downtown high rise. We enjoy walking to the University Club atop Symphony Towers for a pre-symphony dinner then Beethoven, Chopin, DeBussy or some delightful combination.
On a daily basis I enjoy Pilates or swimming, alternating between the two to keep me sharp, focused and in shape.
We like to travel and have done a considerable amount of that, from local jaunts to the California wine country to France for a barge cruise. We both enjoy photography, me with my iPhone, Larry with his NIKON camera. We play golf; he’s the golfer, I’m the duffer.
I have volunteered at the University Club for 10 years, and mentored MBA students at the University of San Diego for almost that long.
Currently my passion is returning to professional speaking, having written and published my third book, and organizing to conduct research into the impact of discretionary effort on profitability in businesses. This requires collaboration and I am grateful for fabulous professional partners.
In my spare time I am learning more about nutrition and devoting more time and effort to feeling good, enjoying the sunshine and my friends and family.
