Coaching

with Grace

Leadership & Personal Development Coach for the “Only” and “Other” at the table.

Reach your fullest potential and own your influence.

Who are the “Only” and “Others”?

The Only at the table.

Othered: to be treated as though they are not part of a group and are different in some way

The “Only,” a trailblazer by choice or lack of representation, and the “Other,” an outsider whose belonging is questioned internally and/or externally face additional challenges, are held to a different standard than the rest, and their success comes at a greater cost or is never fully realized. 

I am here to help more of the “Only” and the “Other” among us unleash their potential, strengths, and gifts into our world.

What would it mean for you to…

Clarity in Decision Making

Have the clarity to make decisions with confidence?

Momentum to Accomplish Goals

Use your time and energy to create momentum towards your most important goals?

Unleash full potential

Unleash your strengths and gifts, and find ways to leverage those in alignment with your values?

Influence more powerfully and strategically, and experience fulfillment and joy from living the life you choose.

I’m Grace Manley - your Coach and Confidante.

I am passionate about helping those who can identify as the “Only” or “Other” find their confidence, voice, and reach their full potential as leaders.

Why? Because I know how hard it is and what you’re up against… because I’ve been there too.

My coaching is dedicated to helping you know, understand, and fully own your potential and influence so that you can live a fuller life. While the focus may be on your professional life, you will find yourself getting unstuck in all aspects of your life as well.

Don’t just take my word for it.
