The Framework
Clarity, resilience, and results aren’t optional—they’re essential.
Today’s leaders are under constant pressure—managing competing priorities, developing their teams, and trying to stay focused in the chaos. When leaders aren’t aligned—with their teams, with the business, and within themselves—things start to slip. Focus turns to fire drills. Teams grow disengaged. Strategy gets lost in the noise. The Aligned Leadership Framework was built for this exact moment.
Developed by Stoneledge, this framework helps leaders turn pressure into progress by improving three critical dimensions: Business, Team, and Self. How? Three practical strategies per pillar that any leader can plug into their lives. It’s not just theory—it’s a proven system that strengthens leadership from the inside out.
Business: Drive outcomes that matter most.
Great results start with clear focus. These strategies help leaders work on the right things in the right order, protect their energy, and run meetings that drive meaningful progress.
Relentless Prioritization (Sharpen the Axe) – Stop spinning your wheels. Learn to focus on high-impact work—in the right order, at the right time—so effort leads to results.
Honor Your Ultradian Rhythm – Work with your brain, not against it. We help leaders design their day around natural energy cycles for sustainable performance.
Meetings That Add Value – No more wasted time. Lead meetings that drive clarity, decisions, and alignment—so the team leaves energized, not drained.
Team: Your team reflects your leadership.
Great leaders build great teams, and great teams bring out the best in their leaders. These strategies help leaders set clear expectations, develop others, and lead with accountability.
Clarity, Support & Accountability – Have real conversations with your people. Learn how to create shared clarity, offer meaningful support, and follow through consistently.
Delegation That Develops – Don’t just assign tasks—build capability. This strategy helps leaders delegate in a way that empowers growth and multiplies impact.
CALLM Coaching Methodology – We teach a simple, repeatable method for real-time coaching that builds trust, sharpens performance, and deepens engagement.
Self: Lead with presence and purpose.
Effective leadership starts within. These strategies help leaders stay grounded, adaptable, and resilient—even under pressure.
AM Alignment – Start strong, lead with intention. This morning ritual helps leaders align their mindset and energy before the day takes over.
Emotional Agility – Pressure is inevitable, reactivity is optional. Learn how to pause, process, and lead with awareness instead of reacting on autopilot.
Cognitive Reframing – Change how you see the challenge. This mindset tool helps leaders turn setbacks into opportunities for strength and clarity.
Why It Works
The Aligned Leadership Framework is simple enough to remember—but powerful enough to change how leaders show up, day in and day out.
It works because it’s:
Practical. Every strategy in the framework is designed to be applied in the real world—between meetings, during performance conversations, and under pressure.
Flexible. Whether you’re leading a small team or an entire division, the framework scales with your leadership challenges.
Proven. We’ve used this framework with leaders across industries to help them focus better, communicate more clearly, and lead with greater resilience.
Organizations that implement the framework see:
Increased leadership confidence and decision-making clarity
Stronger team accountability and trust
Fewer wasted meetings—and more meaningful progress
Healthier leaders who perform without burning out
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
“When we set out to open Aspire, we knew it was going to be more than just an inspirational destination — it was a vision and a passion brought to life. From the beginning of 2024, our opening year, Michelle and AJ Baker of Stoneledge Enrichment embraced this vision and internalized our passion. It showed in every aspect of their work.
They didn’t just provide services; they became trusted collaborators, fully invested in our success. Michelle and AJ helped shape our leadership and culture through exceptional training programs, engaging hiring events, thoughtful service standards, next-level workbooks, and detailed reviews of critical service touchpoints during our soft opening.
Their attention to detail, unwavering commitment, and willingness to jump-in wherever needed made all the difference. Thanks to their collaboration, our team opened Aspire with confidence, clarity, and a culture that is engaged and committed. I can’t imagine a better company to help bring our vision to life.”
