Transforming change and challenge into where we do our bestwork
It’s time for a whole new way of
thinking about change.
One that breaks us out of survival mode and opens up a more future-ready, fully human way of working.
Change is emotional. If you want to truly bring people along with you in change, you need their hearts and minds, not just their consent and compliance.
Change is disorienting. It disrupts our plans and efficiencies. It knocks us off our feet and puts us on guard. We brace ourselves, ready to hunker down to weather the storm, or hustle on through to get to the other side.
Change is ongoing. Too often our approach to change is to shine a light at the end of the tunnel. Talk about how everything will be so much better on the other side.
Spoiler alert: it’s never really over. There’s always more change. So our hunkering down becomes inertia. Our hustling becomes burnout. What’s intended to give us hope keeps us stuck in a cycle of survival mode and perpetual busyness. All whilst the demands, deadlines and deliverables loom large.
“A simple, memorable framework that my whole team can use to navigate an upcoming season of change.”
Changing times require a change in thinking
“What do we do?” is often the question we ask in times of change and challenge.
A more pivotal question is “How do we think?”
Whether you’re trying to create change, navigate change, rally a team around change, or recover from change…
How we think can transform change and challenge from something we survive, into the place where we thrive, excel, lead, innovate and grow.
What we do as a result becomes ultimately more inspired and impactful.
Change is where the work is – and where the magic happens.
Ready to talk about how we make that happen for your people?

Watch Grace in action
Unflappable
“Grace was a pleasure to work with in the build up, unflappable on the day and delivered a great session that was packed with advice and tools that people – including me – have been putting into practice straight away. Thanks Grace, I’d love to work with you again!”
Flexible, thoughtful and ultra communicative
I had the pleasure of connecting with Grace almost a year ago when she ran a “Productivity Ninja” virtual development sprint for our EMEA & APAC based employees. Her calm and patient approach landed very well with our employees, and the content was incredibly engaging. We stayed in touch after that and when she published her latest book “Struggle”, she kindly sent me a copy which I devoured and immediately knew this whole topic was perfect to spotlight at Discovery. When I asked her if she would like to run a keynote based on the book, despite the fact she hadn’t developed this yet, she didn’t hesitate and we worked closely to get the messaging right for the company, and make sure key points were covered. We just ran the session yesterday which was another huge success – thank you Grace! Not only was it incredibly thought provoking, but it was engaging and the graphics rocked!
Grace is flexible, thoughtful and ultra communicative – from a client perspective she’s a dream consultant to work with! I have no doubt we’ll continue our collaborations in the future.
Refreshing and empowering
I invited Grace to speak at the closing event of one of the talent development programmes I run, on the topic of Struggle and emotional resilience. It was a huge success. She’s so easy to work with, generous in sharing insights and was able to take context from the rest of the day and other speakers.
Grace is able to take vulnerability and ‘life happens’ and provide a model for people to explore the learning and opportunity in that. It’s refreshing and empowering. Her work transcends seniority levels and industries. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Grace as a speaker.
Virtual Speaker of the Year 2023
Warm and witty human
“More than just a highly knowledgable expert, Grace is a warm and witty human being and a great storyteller.
Grace empowered us with highly useful and memorable strategies and tactics to reduce overwhelm and effectively prioritize and focus.”
Perfectly pitched, relaxing, fun, interactive and reflective
A perfectly pitched, relaxing, fun, interactive and reflective session to wrap up our two days. You contended with sh*tty tech and tired fundraisers, but what was really lovely were the authentic, raw and personal contributions from people who had not found their voice until that moment.
Grace is a breath of fresh air
“We were thrilled to be able to have Grace as one of our keynote speakers as part of our Global Learning at Work Week at Pearson. Grace was incredibly flexible in her approach to working with us. She listened to the specific challenges we were facing and designed a session that would resonate with our global colleagues.
Grace’s session was one of our most popular sessions for the week, and you could feel the buzz in the Zoom chat as our colleagues listened, learned, and bounced additional ideas around.
If you’re considering helping your own teams think about how they balance their own work life balance and be more productive, Grace is a breath of fresh air. She offers tangible and practical ways to make effective change and who wouldn’t want to learn from a Productivity Ninja?”
Changes the way you think
“Fundamentally changes the way you think about productivity and success. Leaving people feeling empowered and ready to take on the world. If you’re looking for a great keynote speaker, I highly recommend Grace.”
