Then, in anticipation of becoming an empty nester, Grace began a personal Happiness journey. She quickly realized her in-depth study of positive psychology and the 7 theme framework that she created, “Project Peak – Climbing the Mountains of Life – Business & Beyond” could benefit Savvy’s coaching clients. And soon began to share How Happiness Can Help Your Company Flourish.
In the last decade, Grace has shared her 7 themes of Project Peak, including why Failure is a Good Thing, conveying with authenticity her first-hand experiences overcoming adversity, to audiences around the world. Grace offers focused motivational Happiness keynotes and workshops that she customizes for each client. Her raw vulnerability, including sharing her own mental health challenges, opens up audiences to respond.
Upon her recovery from a severe depressive episode, Grace started writing a weekly column on Happiness & Leadership and created HappinessWorks™ programs. The science of Happiness works, but takes ongoing work. Research shows that happiness is key to flourishing employees, and corporations are investing in mental well-being, accordingly.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT GRACE:
Grace inspires audiences around the world. She is an engaging, thoughtful crowd-pleaser.
“Not only is Grace exceptional at what she does, she has a truly amazing personal story. Her energy and passion are contagious. So be prepared to walk away inspired.”
I truly enjoyed Grace’s motivational talk and workshop. Understanding that personal growth often times comes during our most challenging moments allows me to approach difficult situations with a newfound energy. Thank you for inspiring all of us!

Grace was a big hit at this year’s IBM Women in Technology conference.
In her keynote, “If there’s a Mountain, Climb It!” she described how in coming up with a big win, often the biggest obstacle to overcome is a fear of failure.
Grace shared her personal story of overcoming a dramatic cycling accident to overcome fear, navigate obstacles, and create new paths. The audience held on to her every word and walked away inspired.
Grace’s keynote “On Obstacles and Entrepreneurship” was inspirational!
Her courage and perseverance to not give up in the midst of challenging times is admirable. Her personal story served as a great example to us all, especially those of us pulled in multiple professional and personal priorities.
It also showed us that we all have our own journey and that we will eventually end up where we belong.
She took the time to understand our goals for the weekend and what we hoped her remarks would capture for the participants. Ms. Ueng was the perfect fit because she relates so well to her audience, is highly credible, and most importantly, is very engaging.
I would highly recommend hiring her for your next speaking need. She has a special way of connecting to her audience and is very willing to engage any questions even after she steps off the podium. Ms. Ueng makes a gracious keynote.
A fan of Grace’s coaching and marketing talents, I recommended she conduct a Personal Branding workshop for our firm.
Her workbooks are really helpful – especially for the associates who we are trying to help guide. Even senior attorneys need reminders on what they should be doing, and they said as much after Grace’s workshop.  She struck the right tone and hit the right level of advice for the wide range of attorneys attending.
Grace energized and inspired us to put more time into our marketing efforts, which is exactly the result I was hoping for!
