Anne Grady
You Are Strong Enough
Anne Grady is a resilience expert, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and two-time TEDx speaker. For over two decades, she has worked with Fortune 500 companies, associations, non-profits, government agencies, and school districts, teaching individuals and organizations that resilience is not a trait, but a skill—one that can be learned, practiced, and perfected.
Anne’s journey into the world of resilience began in a deeply personal way. As a mother searching for answers for her son, Evan, who was diagnosed with severe mental illness and autism, she began studying the brain and neurodevelopment. Her commitment to finding solutions for Evan eventually led her to a deeper understanding of the science of resilience. Then, in 2014, after being diagnosed with an avocado-sized tumor in her salivary gland, Anne had to rely on the very tools she had researched for her son to navigate this life-altering challenge. Her personal experiences have shaped her unique approach to resilience, allowing her to teach others how to cultivate the habits and mindset necessary to overcome obstacles and grow stronger through adversity.
Holding a Master’s degree in Organizational Communication, Anne shows individuals how to harness the power of resilience to break free from reactivity, empowering them to lead, communicate, and live with purpose. Recognized as a leading expert in leadership, communication, and resilience, Anne’s insights have been featured in Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, Inc., Fast Company, FOX Business, and CNN, among others. However, it’s not just her professional credentials that make her stand out, Anne is also a living testimony of the power of resilience.
Described as “authentic,” “hilarious,” and a “dropper of truth bombs,” Anne has a unique ability to quickly connect with audiences. She shares inspiring personal stories, cutting-edge, research-based content, and practical implementation tools that make her presentations both impactful and transformative. Her relatable approach ensures that learning doesn’t just stay in the room but translates into real-world action.
