TESTIMONIALS
"focused on my growth as a person then problems"
"Addressed personal challenges and overcome self-limiting beliefs."
"I wholeheartedly recommend Gracia for her exceptional coaching abilities. Working with her has truly elevated my personal and professional journey. Through her insightful guidance, I have made significant strides in my career decisions, addressed personal challenges, and overcome self-limiting beliefs.
What sets Gracia apart is her holistic approach; she focuses on my growth as a person rather than just the problems I present. Her wealth of experience in the industry has been invaluable, particularly as I navigate the corporate landscape, which is a new territory for me.
As an accredited Certified Behavioral Consultant, her expertise has been instrumental in helping me prioritize and progress in my chosen path.
I am incredibly grateful for the value she has added to my life and I am excited to see how she continues to inspire and transform the lives of others. It has been a true privilege to be coached by you, Gracia!

"accomplish remarkable progress in short period of time"
"genuine, empathetic approach created an environment of complete trust"
"unlock a shift, in confidence & strategy"
"Gracia is a uniquely impactful coach, who is able to accomplish remarkable progress in a short period of time.
From our very first session, Gracia's professionalism and genuine, empathetic approach created an environment of complete trust. This was critical, as it allowed me to be fully open about my career expectations and goals from the start.
Because Gracia so quickly built that foundation, her coaching was incredibly effective. Using her strategic frameworks and insightful, guiding questions, she has helped me reframe my professional narrative. She gave me the tools to extract the essence of my work out of the box I had put myself in: helping me to see the broad, transferable value in my experience. Gracia unlocked a shift that has been a complete game-changer for me, in terms of confidence and strategy.
I highly recommend Gracia to any professional feeling stuck and looking for a coach who can deliver profound, actionable insights with both speed and empathy.

"a game-changer, challenging me to think deeper and push further."
"she's been the Sherpa in my journey to summit my own mountain"
"come out of this process with more clarity, confidence and momentum."
"Working with Gracia has honestly been a game-changer for me. Throughout the journey, she's been incredibly supportive, sharp with the details, tuned in to how I work, and genuinely invested in helping me grow. What I have appreciated most is how she's adapted to my style, while still challenging me to think deeper and push further. It never felt like a script, she met me where I was, but never let me stay there for long. If I had to describe her role in one sentence: she's been the Sherpa in my journey to summit my own mountains. Never walking it for me, but always walking with me, pointing out blind spots and adjusting the pace, and making sure I don't miss the view along the way. I have come out of this process with more clarity, confidence, and momentum, Super grateful to have had her as my coach!

"Challenge my perspective & sharpen my decision-making."
"Notice red flags, fire fast. "
"That clarity and decisiveness saved us valuable time, preserved key relationships & allowed us to pivot quickly, an essential trait in any high-growth environment."
"Next Bold Move coaching came at a pivotal time in my entrepreneurial journey. as a founder navigating the dynamic and often unpredictable world of start-ups, her insights and guidance became an anchor. What stood out most was her ability to challenge my perspective and sharpen my decision-making.
One particular piece of advice that stuck with me was to notice red flags early and fire fast, a principle that recently empowered my team and I to recognize misaligned partnerships, face the challenge head-on, and make the tough but necessary decision to walk away before greater damage was done. That clarity and decisiveness saved us valuable time, preserved key relationships, and allowed us to pivot quickly, an essential trait in any high-growth environment.
Gracia brings not only wisdom but also a calm, strategic presence that helps leaders move with both confidence and precision. If you're an executive looking to elevate your personal and professional edge, navigate change with courage, or execute with clarity, Gracia is the coach you want in your corner!
Thank you, Gracia for helping me and my business grow smarter, not just faster."

"sees potential where others might overlook"
"what stood out to me immediately was her passion and heart for people."
"Rare to find someone who combines genuine empathy with such strong intentionality."
"I had the joy of journeying alongside Gracia as her classmate in both the Certified Behavioural Consultant & Certified Advanced Behavioural Consultant programmes, and what stood out to me immediately was her passion and heart for people.
Gracia has a very special focus - she is deeply committed to helping quiet achievers step into who they were truly made to be. She sees potential where others might overlook it, and she has an inspiring determination to draw out the gifts and strengths in those who may not always have a loud voice in the room.
What I admire most is how tirelessly she works on improving herself so that she can better serve and empower others. Whether it's asking thoughtful questions, pushing herself to grow in her knowledge, or humbly reflecting on her own journey, Gracia's dedication is evident. She doesn't just want to 'be better' for herself, she wants to be better so she can uplift other.
It's rare to find someone who combines genuine empathy with such strong intentionality, and Gracia embodies both. I'm confident that the people she works with will not only feel supported but also inspire to live more fully into their potential.

TESTIMONIALS
"Sharp & intuitive. Guided me towards a powerful truth."
"Every time I speak with Gracia, I leave the conversation feeling more energized, clear, and deeply seen. She has this rare ability to hold space with such warmth and presence that I instantly felt safe to open up and from there, things started moving fast.
One of the most unforgettable moments I had with Gracia was during a visualisation exercise. I still remember how I felt, completely showered in her energy and empowerment. It was as if she injected light straight into my core. I got goosebumps, not just from her words but from the way she helped me access my own power and clarity.
Gracia is sharp and intuitive. She guided me toward a powerful truth I hadn't dared to face and the ah-ha moment that followed still stays with me. What's most special is that she doesn't "fix' you.
She shows you how to draw our your own strengths and reminds you of who you already are. If you're at a crossroads, needing a force to power your next big move or even just hoping to shift your luck. Gracia is the coach you want by your side."
