OD CULTURE STRATEGIST
TRANSFORMATIVE
My clients call me their personal business coach, entrepreneur coach, life coach, happiness coach, trusted confidante and learning partner. I’m Grace. My lifework is helping leaders bring their best, whole-hearted selves to their work. I love aspiring, effective, ineffective, experienced and inexperienced leaders. Why? Because leadership is not just intuitive; it is a learned skill. I believe leadership is an earned and privileged space.
I guide individuals, teams, and boards, large and small, to articulate and embrace the skills necessary to pivot and thrive in today’s upside-down world.
Either in person or online, in your office or in my island home, I skilfully and compassionately ask tough questions that make the unconscious, conscious, the sublime sing. I provide a haven to pour it all out, brainstorm, make mistakes, try again and celebrate successes.
Why am I qualified to work with you? I cut my teeth learning from a dream team of brilliant and generous colleagues. I was the youngest professional career coach at a management consulting firm in Boston, before Coach U or ICF existed. I have coached thousands of individuals in transition,
at all professional levels, in all sectors, private, public, profit and non-profit.
.
I am a curious life-long learner, I believe we can and do change the world in which we live and work. How? One conversation at a time.
I have one goal

LEADERSHIP COACHING
In November of 2004, Harvard Business Review magazine reported annual spending on executive coaching was estimated at $1billion. Those numbers have climbed in 10 years. Then, why do it?
Are your current leadership skills
not cutting it?
Are you expected to deliver more with less, but don’t know how?
Do you need help influencing your peers? your boss? your direct reports?
Are you newly promoted?
Newly demoted?
Are you feeling lost in your current role and need some clues?
Is life/work balance a real priority for you? A faux priority for your boss?
Whether you are just starting out and can’t find your mojo or are a seasoned executive transitioning to a new company or role, you deserve smart, targeted support that quickly addresses your Achilles heel. I have coached thousands of new, mid-career and seasoned professionals find their fire.
ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT
CULTURAL STRATEGIST
Do you live on Zoom, with barely a break?
Do meetings keep you from doing your real work?
Are you committed to mining your high potentials?
Does your culture foster learning and innovation? Are risks rewarded, or do people go along just to get along?
Are you a leadership team newly forming or an already existing team that seeks a jolt of innovative and synergistic thinking?

CAREER COACHING
In her poem, The Summer Day, Pulitzer Prize winning poet Mary Oliver asks us, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” No pressure, right? The question still stands: how’s your life/work balance going? Your one wild precious life?
Are you bored; stuck in a job you have no idea how to escape?
Are you dreaming of that next big promotion and have no idea how to get there?
Is your head hitting the glass ceiling?
Did you got a degree in X and now want to do Y. How will you get there? Or are you clueless about what else you could be doing?
You’re not alone! According to Gallup polls, over 70% of Americans feel disengaged from their work despite multiple changes. And they work about 47 hours or more a week, which is like working 6 days a week. Helping you set boundaries and find your “sweet spot” gives me great joy.
Stop trying to do this alone.
