From the Trailer Park to the Boardroom; Leading with Grit, Humor and Real Talk

Meet Tracy

Tracy Spears is a best-selling author, international keynote speaker, and the force behind Trailer Park University—a transformative framework for leadership rooted in real-life grit, resilience, and radical authenticity.

“Tracy Spears is a phenomenal speaker and executive coach. Her materials, particularly on temperament type-casting, are innovative and engaging. I have seen Tracy conduct her workshop three times and each time, I learn a new fact about myself and my colleagues. Attending Tracy’s workshop should be a prerequisite for any professional or manager who works with teams. Tracy will arm you with tools to help you manage up or down, and most importantly, manage yourself.”

-Jean Kuei, Partner, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP

“Tracy’s sessions stand out because she gives practical answers to complex questions, balancing telling it like it is with genuine empathy. She brings a brilliant perspective to this population of growing leaders, especially at this moment in time when it feels like leaders are being asked to be—somehow—both more results-oriented and more empathetic. Many are leading teams through pandemic fatigue or strategic and organizational changes.”

-Adele Poole, Eastman Chemical Company

“Tracy does an outstanding job of providing insights and practical application of those insights for leaders in the workplace. Current and future leaders should find her knowledge and information as a valuable resource tool in their quest to be better leaders.”

-Mark Dobosz, Executive Director, National Creditors Bar Association

“Using Tracy Spears to lead us through a board engagement process was the best thing we have done for the Tulsa Historical Society & Museum in years. Not only did we assess whether we had the right committees doing the right things, our board members left the four-hour session committed to doing specific tasks. Accountability is the next step and we will be able to celebrate board accomplishments by the end of the year.”

-Michelle Place, Executive Director, Tulsa Historical Society & Museum

“Each year the Tulsa State Fair strives to increase customer service and provide the best, family friendly environment for our guests. The leadership training with Tracy Spears provided our team with additional knowledge, perspective and skills for their toolbox. Tracy has a spark that can ignite any team member, and bring it to what is relevant in the circumstance. Without a doubt, Tracy is impactful, and her passion for leadership should be part of your next training.”

-Amanda Blair, CEO, Expo Square
