BIO Summary:

Grace Judson came to this work after 25 years in the corporate world – mostly in software development, systems consulting, management, and executive leadership.

How did she get from writing code to writing “essence of what you do” copy and doing small-business coaching?

It wasn’t a journey. She’s always been a writer and a coach.

She’s been fascinated by language since she learned to read at the age of three. It’s not just writing and reading; she loves the psychology of language and linguistics, the ways people respond to word choice and sentence structure. It’s just so cool that a message can have the same literal meaning, but create a wholly different impact when you change just one or two words.

It’s the same with coaching. People always came to Grace for help with deeply personal and painful struggles. Help she knows how to give them.

In short, she’s made a lifelong study of language, writing, and how people express themselves in the world, how and why they get stuck, and how to get them unstuck.

She helps small business owners and self-employed professionals who are passionate about their work and yearn to fully understand, articulate, and express it.

Because if you don’t feel goosebumps when you talk about what you do – how can you expect your customers to feel it?
