Ever since her first year in college, Grace found opportunities to soak in the business world starting with Coca-Cola, IBM, then consulting at Bain. She eventually managed the consumer line of educational software products including The Oregon Trail where that company’s cool tagline "for the love of learning" attracted her to join. Following the company’s successful exit, she got to work with four more startups before she decided to use all her experiences and expertise to start her own company in 2003, which she named Savvy Marketing Group. Her firm started out by working with tech companies on their marketing strategies, then added healthcare, educational, business and financial services, and non-profits as well. After being asked to tackle coaching of leaders as well as business strategy engagements, in 2015, she rebranded her firm to be called Savvy Growth. For more info, visit Savvy Growth.
Highlights:
- Savvy Growth - with the new name came the new thrust of helping not only companies but also individuals to grow and succeed
- Corporate therapist - a name given to her as she became the listening ear to all the people and all their issues including the CEO's of her clients
- Happiness Advantage - having happy employees makes them flourish and be more engaged at work
- Mental Wellness - is when the person is flourishing, joyful, happy, hopeful, and is able to cope with stress
Based on the science of positive psychology, it is happiness that creates success and not the other way around. Accumulating wealth does not bring happiness. If people could learn to want what they have, then they could get off the hedonic treadmill of wanting more. If you are curious how you too could be free from this hedonic treadmill, and learn the gratitude exercises for greater happiness, Grace is the right person to guide you.
