What if you could turn big-picture vision into real, everyday wins for your team, without burning anyone out in the process?

Lead with EASE: Transform Today is a leadership and team-development podcast hosted by Stacey Chillemi with veteran educator turned executive coach Dr. Rhonda Parmer.

Together they break down the EASE Framework, a practical system that helps new managers and seasoned leaders build engaged, high-ownership teams that hit ambitious goals and still protect their well-being. 

Rhonda brings a rare combination to every episode: a 31-year career in education and a track record of five successful business exits. That means the strategies here work in real classrooms, real startups, and real corporate teams, not just on a whiteboard. The EASE Framework stands for:

• Engage: win your team's hearts and minds and build ownership from day one
• Act: beat analysis paralysis and take a real first step within 24 hours
• Share: shift from solo leader to a team that owns the outcome with you
• Energize: build well-being into your goals so growth is sustainable instead of draining

In every episode you'll get:

• Actionable leadership strategies drawn from Rhonda's education career and entrepreneurial exits
• Real-world case studies showing EASE at work in schools, startups, and large organizations
• Practical toolkits including 3-step resets, KPI blueprints, and delegation playbooks you can use today
• Behavioral science insights (DISC and mind-body alignment) so you can adapt EASE to any team culture
• Rapid-fire action challenges that keep you accountable and moving forward

Whether you're an ambitious first-time manager or an experienced director looking for fresh momentum, Lead with EASE gives you the tools to rally your people, hit bold targets, and keep your sanity while you do it.

The family is found in the jet New episodes help leaders at every level lead with clarity, build stronger teams, and grow without burning out.
