Leadership and well-being coaching for social entrepreneurs
Helping impact-driven founders pursue their missions while protecting their humanity
Hi, I’m Grace 👋
I’ve been where you are. As cofounder of a tech nonprofit, I spent eight years on the passion, adrenaline, and burnout fueled rollercoaster that is building a social impact startup. Now, I help social entrepreneurs navigate their leadership journeys with clarity and confidence.
I can support you in:
Taking care of yourself
Managing your mindset while working within systems you don’t control
Stabilizing your sense of worth against fickle sources of external validation like press and funders
Understanding your personal energy recipe, and structuring your work and life to provide the ingredients you need to thrive
Pacing yourself for the long haul, knowing you may not see the full results of your efforts for decades, or in your lifetime
Growing as a leader
Setting ambitious yet achievable goals, and planning for how both you and the org will need to evolve to meet them
Cultivating your ability to attract, motivate, and manage an increasingly large and specialized team
Keeping yourself and others calm, pragmatic, and focused during periods of transition or chaos
Building your capacity for clear, empathetic, and effective communication, so you can navigate complex relationships and difficult conversations with confidence
Zooming out for perspective
Clarifying your values, and using them as a compass when you feel overwhelmed or unmoored
Distinguishing between your needs and the org’s needs, recognizing you’ll both be healthier when cared for as related but separate entities
Disentangling your identity from your role, and learning that your work is an expression of you, but not all you are
Monitoring how your daily choices fit into your long-term vision for yourself, and adjusting to realign them as needed
