Leadership Coaching for AKT

“I have been working with Grace for a year on issues around equity, inclusion, with the goal of creating a more values-based and people-centred culture at our organisation.

Grace brings the perfect balance of support, challenge, and expertise. Support, because this work is deeply personal and a safe space to work through and process the emotional impact it can have is vital for us to be able to go on to support others. Challenge, because we all need someone sometimes to hold us accountable for this work, to push us to set concrete and specific goals, or gently steer us back when we’re off course. And expertise, because Grace brings her own wisdom and experience alongside a depth and breadth of sources, frameworks and approaches from others which continually bring new insights to my work and ensure it is grounded in current thinking and best practice.

I would highly recommend working with Grace to anyone looking to make measurable impact on issues of equity and inclusion in their workplace.”

-Hannah Taylor, Assistant Director of People, Performance & Culture at akt (Albert Kennedy Trust)

How to Run Better Meetings Workshop for FGHR

“I worked with Grace on a bespoke facilitation/team building training for a group of 20+ colleagues from across all departments in our organization, representing multiple types of experience, cultures, languages, and existing expertise. She quickly grasped the needs of the group, designing a training that encompassed everything we had hoped for and several things we hadn't known to ask.

Grace is an empathetic and skilled facilitator and relationship-builder, with a respectful and concise communication-style that creates clarity around sometimes foggy concepts. She is extremely easy to work with and made it easier for us to do our homework and prepare properly for the work. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

-Marianne Mollman, Director of Regional Programs, The Fund for Global Human Rights

Improved Employee Experience for Project HEAL

“Grace has the rare gift of being able to transform a pile of messy and disjointed data into systems and practices that address everyone’s needs. With this project, Grace devised systems that promote both a culture of striving and a culture of protecting the mental health of our team. Additionally, she created an intuitive, time-saving methodology for routinely revisiting our policies to ensure that they’re still working as our organization grows and evolves.

Thanks to Grace’s innovation, our collaborative work is more productive while our staff are happier as individual team members. And it starts from day one—new team members consistently tell us that their onboarding experience is the best they’ve ever had!”

- Rebecca Eyre, CEO, Project HEAL
