Grace and Associates
Inspiring Courage, Hope and Action for Just Communities
Bill Grace speaks to your mind, spirit and soul. He awakens your being when you’re not even aware that you need awakening. He is insightful, kind and yet one of the most powerful speakers of our time.
Andrea Sisino, Vermont Leadership InitiativeBill always brings the right message, hits the right tone, and inspires us every time he has spoken here. We are always challenged by his perspective on doing the right thing, being an active and engaged citizen in our community and leading balanced and fulfilled lives.
Stan McNaughton, CEO PEMCO Financial ServicesBill’s seminars and workshops have always been right on target for our audiences and organizations interested in providing a healthy workplace for our employees. His insights into ethical leadership and his creative, imaginative approaches help people focus on doing what is right as well as practical. Bill provides a space for disciplined reflection where individuals are comfortable searching for answers to difficult questions.
Roger Sublett, President Union Institute and UniversityAs a result of an interaction with Bill Grace people re-discover their dreams and are empowered to go beyond the status quo and make powerful changes in their lives This very transformation has happened to me.
Marni Vliet, President and CEO Kansas Health FoundationOf all of our speakers, Bill was the top rated by the students. In a reflection piece about the course, the students uniformly commented on how powerful his values exercise was for them.
Sandra Robertson, Leadership Professor Clinton School for Public ServiceBill Grace was wonderful, the best interactive presentation I‘ve seen in years.
Participant, Oregon League of Cities Conference Bill's approach to the topic of ethical Leadership was profoundly different. We were challenged to define our own core values and to stand for them and by them. By making the conversation personal it kept us grounded in the reality of living our life ethically. “Life changing” was used by many Fellows to describe the impact of your work on them. Bill get us thinking and challenges us to be our best selves, by asking compelling questions and by being vulnerable to your audience, which allows your audience to be vulnerable to you.
Anne Udall, Executive Director Lee InstituteYour message was perfect for our tough times. Your presentation was one of the best I have attended in the last four League of Oregon cities Conferences.
