Jean Grant has a passion for empowering women as they navigate their personal and professional life journeys. Through workshops, seminars and one-on-one coaching, Jean helps her clients craft a personal narrative, identify their unique calling, and map a course of action to make their most cherished dreams a reality. Over the course of 25 years as a communications professional in non-profits and higher education, Jean has become known for her beautifully appointed gatherings, at which millions are raised for education, literacy, the arts and AIDS awareness. Her unique gift is connecting brilliant colleagues to each other, so that good can be done in the world. Not satisfied with ordinary networking events, she founded the popular Philanthropy Thought Leaders series, which has launched untold ventures and business partnerships in Los Angeles. Above all, Jean has a heart for service, and has invested deeply in some of nation’s poorest communities. She created an inner-city tutoring and mentorship program in urban Philadelphia; she has served homeless women and children in a Peoria, Illinois shelter and has hosted bread-making seminars to empower homeless women living on Skid Row. Whether she is coaching a client on the verge of a career change or simply baking bread with a woman in need, Jean’s deepest desire is to create a space where magic can happen. She credits her Midwestern roots for her work ethic and her belief that success can only be found through community, simplicity and love. When she’s not working, Jean is a baker, a singer, a writer and a soccer mom to Jackson (12) and Isaiah (10).
