Anne Grady Biography

Anne Grady is not your typical motivational speaker. She is a resilience expert, best-selling author, two-time TEDx speaker, trainer, and a skilled communicator who emphasizes the practical application of neuroscience and psychology in overcoming adversity and fostering leadership and resilience.

Anne holds a master’s degree in organizational communication and has spent over fifteen years working with a diverse range of clients including Fortune 500 companies, associations, non-profits, government agencies, and school districts. Her extensive experience has cemented her reputation as a leading authority in resilience, emotional intelligence, and leadership, with her insights featured in Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, Inc., Fast Company, FOX Business, and CNN.

Anne is celebrated for her engaging and insightful speaking engagements, which include topics like emotional intelligence, effective communication, and proactive leadership. Her keynote addresses, such as "Resilience Reset," "Building Resilient Leaders," and "Leading through Influence," offer actionable strategies that aid individuals and organizations in managing stress, navigating change, and leveraging personal strengths to enhance collaboration and productivity. Her latest book "Mind Over Moment: Harness the Power of Resilience" encapsulates these themes, providing readers with a science-based framework to cultivate resilience by becoming more mindful of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Audiences appreciate Anne's honest and dynamic presentation style, which is enriched by her personal resilience journey—overcoming significant health challenges and managing her son's mental illness and autism. Through sharing these experiences, she not only educates but also inspires her audience, making her sessions not just informative but also profoundly impactful.

Anne Grady Speaking Topics

  • Evolvability: Growing Forward When Life Goes Sideways

    The ability to adapt in a rapidly changing world is no longer optional — it's a survival skill.

    EvolvAbility is the cultivation of skills needed to navigate change and uncertainty—and it's one of the greatest predictors of our success, happiness, and well-being.

    This session delivers science-backed strategies, inspiring stories, and actionable tools to help you not just survive change—but grow because of it.

  • Resilience Reset

    Anxiety, stress, and burnout are at an all-time high, and if we don’t take time to reset, the physical and psychological results can be catastrophic.

    Resilience is more than the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down. Resilience is the ability to use the adversity in your life as a catalyst to get stronger. Fortunately, resilience is a set of skills, beliefs, and behaviors that can be learned and cultivated. Used together, they help turn adversity into a catalyst for growth.

    More and more organizations are turning to resilience training to help their employees manage stress, navigate change, and overcome obstacles and setbacks. Research has found that organizations that provide resilience training have employees who are more productive, more engaged, higher performing, and have greater well-being as a result. Learn how to take back control, make stress work for you, and cultivate a resilient mindset, skill set, and the ability to reset.
