Stacy Stephens is the Director of TIE and has more than 25 years in international education as both a teacher and a school leader.
Bridget McNamer is the founder and chief navigation officer of Sidecar Counsel. She has spent her life seeking adventure, shaking things up and supporting leaders who refuse to accept the status quo. Her sweet spot is serving as “sidecar counsel” to women leaders in schools who can bring much-needed balance to a role that has become overly masculinized. These days, she can be found basking in her new nest in Provence, coaching courageous souls from her laptop dashboard and keeping her daring spirit alive through regular comfort-zone challenges. Recent adventures include practicing her high school French with kind non-English speakers, discovering freshwater swimming holes in Provence and trying her hand at sketching.
