Personal Details

Bio

Inspiring clients to discover their personal/professional brands for business success is my passion. Partnership enablement, though initially as a channel champ in the corporate world, is now expanded into social enterprise via television, magazines, and digital media.

I’m equally likely to be seen in the board room or a coffee shop listening deeply to a person’s goals while drawing on my connections to support their success. One of my favorite partners refers to me as the ‘Branding Scientist’ – which I love because it connects my science background to storytelling. Mass Challenge welcomes me as a startup accelerator judge & mentor - which keeps me plugged in to exciting new ventures.

I like to stretch the cutting edge of branding delivering keynotes at international events, hosting our award-winning podcast [AllAboutThatBrand], and most recently as an Executive Producer of a docuseries. Originally trained as a Bio/Electrical engineer, my first CEO venture was an online software solution. One of only two women to be venture funded at the multi-million-dollar level in Austin in 2000, our firm was featured in the Austin Business Journal, on KEYE, and won the KPMG Stand-Out Startup Award.

I'm first a mother of two millennials and a wife. You can find my hubby and I performing R&B at a local vineyard or sampling the awesome Italian fare in town.

Personal & Professional Branding for Leaders

As a business person, you are challenged with not only differentiating the value you provide to your employer, but also yourself. Most every prospective buyer begins their purchasing journey online – yes, even for employee assignments, promotions and recommendations. If you do not appear on page one of Google, your next best bet is for someone to refer you as the best person for the job. A unique combination of old school and millennial marketing, Personal Branding is the art of communicating your authentic self on and offline to inspire people to be interested in Y-O-U.

The Power of Words: Revealing Hidden Landmines to Your Success

I’ve always marveled at the power of words. If you, or someone in your life, says something out loud and repeats it enough, you come to believe it!

Our awareness is the tapestry of our life. Our language is found in every thread and fiber of our reality. By changing one word or thought within ourselves, we expand, contract or alter our reality. The thoughts and conversations of generations before us may still be resonating in our lives.
Some of our language patterns and beliefs are less than our true potential. There are wonderful realities awaiting us all. Our Words hold the key to our next reality. Join Grace as she provides tips to recognize your language landmines.

Key takeaways include:
• The power of an “I Am” Statement
• Take the Word “Try” out of Your Language
• How to Reframe Limiting Language

Why Social Cause is a Must for Your 2022 Brand

This talk will provide clarity regarding the 2022 version of good and great brands, how to select your social cause partner (non-profit or social commerce), as well as a guide for you to take action for yourself and your company.

Grace spoke to >1000 successful entrepreneurs around the world to understand what social cause mattered to them and to understand what they were and weren't doing to make a positive impact. What she learned was this:
-> they were tired of just mailing a check or clicking the donate button
-> they don't know where the money went
-> they don't know what organization to choose to make an impact
-> they want impact to be a fun experience, to share with their close friends, and to authentically share the social cause experience online.

TAKEAWAYS:
*Understand Millennial and GenZ social impact requirements for a brand of choice.
*Experience brands that do and don't have social impact partners.
*The 3 things you can do today to identify, serve, and share
