    Cleaner communication builds stronger teams, streamlines internal collaboration, and helps you connect with your customers. You'll learn to:

  • Connect with yourself and others
  • Develop clear and concise messages
  • Tailor a conversation to your listener's preferences
  • Make technical information fascinating
  • Listen actively and develop rapport
  • Know what your body is saying

    Sample workshops:
    The Human Connection: Communication Skills for All of us
    The Introvert's Communication Arsenal
    Mental Diversity: Designing with your Whole Brain
    Mental Diversity: Marketing with your Whole Brain


    Whole Brain Thinking
    As certified practitioners of Whole Brain Thinking, we use the HBDI Thinking Preferences tool to help clients identify, understand, and leverage their personal thinking styles and those of their team.

    Understanding individual and team thinking preferences has huge implications on a group's communication, leadership, teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, and creativity.

    There are a lot of assessment tools out there, so why do we like the HBDI?

  • It doesn't peg you. We all prefer to think in a certain way - the HBDI just shows us how we personally like to think. Knowing that, we're free to stretch into other thinking styles as needed.
  • It measures preference, not proficiency. The HBDI measures how you like to process information, revealing how you approach problems, opportunities, relationships, etc.
  • It's scalable. Not only is HBDI great for individuals and teams, but the same model can be used to plan complex projects, generate innovative solutions, and guide organizational development.
  • It works. Over one third of Fortune 100 companies use the HBDI in their organizations.


    Keynote Addresses
    So many presentations are forgettable - why not call in the people who have taught thousands of people to give unforgettable presentations. Jump-start your conference or meeting with a fun, interactive keynote from Graceworks. We'll energize your audience and send them out inspired to act.


    Meeting Facilitation
    Tired of the same old corporate meetings? A dose of Graceworks might be just what you need! Our fun, interactive style will get the group's brain juices flowing, help you think in new ways, and bring your team together in the process. You'll laugh, surprise yourself, and get the results you need.


    Train the Trainer Workshops
    Are you ready to take your training and coaching skills to the next level? Join us for a train the trainer and learn the ins and outs of the Graceworks way. This intensive workshop isn't for the faint of heart, but you'll leave fully equipped to educate, motivate, and bring the best out of your staff.


    Vocal Coaching
    Gain skill and confidence if you struggle with voice issues (speaking too softly, strain, etc.) with our one-on-one vocal coaching.


    Graceworks with Kids
    Empower kids in your school or community to make "big, bold choices," gain self-confidence, and find their voice with our hands-on "play-shops."
