Here’s What Clients Have to Say

And… which universities and colleges are using Grace LaConte’s original concepts.

“Not only has Grace taught me how to protect my company and my family if something tragic were to happen, she also taught me how to make my company more valuable and attractive to the right kind of buyer.”

– Owner, Pet Products Manufacturer, Portland OR

“Grace brings a perspective that our leadership team really needed. We are communicating better and have a clearer idea of where we are taking the business.”

– CEO, tech manufacturing, Las Vegas, NV

“Relaunching my business has been very frustrating. I found LaConte Consulting because I was trying to get more clients. Grace helped me to rethink my niche and customer focus, and I eagerly implemented the ideas she suggested.

My situation has really turned around; I have more client leads and better marketing tactics. Her recaps are very detailed. I highly recommend working with Grace.”

– Toni Hale-Tinner, Owner of Tissue Issue, Inc., Atlanta, GA

“Working with Grace was easy. She taught me how to take ownership of my business. I had been allowing myself to be run ragged from not knowing the proper way to run it.

With Grace’s coaching, I have gained a whole new level of confidence and no longer feel like my business is consuming me. Now it is more profitable, and I have a better balance between work and personal life.”

– Nancy Morelli, Owner of Overall Office Solutions, Seattle, WA
Joseph Sztapka

“It has been my pleasure to meet and get to know Grace. She has a passion for helping people develop their strengths and talents. Her commitment to growth is outstanding!”

– Joseph Sztapka, Regional Director, Sioux Falls, SD
Lynn Moses - Orchards Curves

“Grace knows her stuff! She is so wonderful to work with and has helped my staff better understand our personal strengths and how we can use them in our jobs.”

– Lynn Moses, Business Owner, Vancouver, WA

“Grace’s services helped me to clarify my goals and identify where to start in prioritizing my business needs. She is a very good listener and was able to recognize the strengths and weaknesses in my business – which in turn have helped me become more successful as I learn how to set myself apart. I’m so grateful for her help!”

– Colleen S., Clinical Social Worker, Sioux Falls, SD

“Conversations with Grace are so valuable. My office is undergoing some fairly significant changes, and it’s not always easy for patients to say they are dissatisfied. Grace took the time to find out what isn’t working, and gave me an opportunity to learn new techniques about running my practice more efficiently.”

– Lisa S., Naturopathic Doctor, Portland, OR
Jacob Ewing - WHCA

“I have worked with Grace on behalf of the Washington Health Care Association. Grace used personal and real life examples to help drive points home. She was very open to feedback and adjusted her presentations to meet our members’ needs.”

– Jacob Ewing, Healthcare Membership Manager, Tumwater, WA
Kelly Fast - Missouri Western

“I’m so grateful for Grace’s impactful insight on using strengths to shape the future at the MoHIMA Annual Meeting. Not only was she helpful during the planning process and involved in the meeting itself, she also was pivotal in helping students, establishing dialogue with our vendors, and providing guidance. I can highly recommend Grace to help take any group to the next level.”

– Kelly Fast, University Professor, Kansas City, MO
David Lawson

“Grace LaConte took time to understand our purpose and values, identified and interviewed the key influencers in our organization, drew out the points of weakness, and recommended effective and achievable solutions. I would recommend Grace to anyone seeking advice and assistance with organizational communication.”

– David Lawson, Executive Pastor, Vancouver, WA
Joe Evenson

“I really appreciate what Grace accomplished with the Strengths development workshop. Looking back, it was a great experience. It really helped me to think differently about my own personal strengths and also helped me to reluctantly identify my weaknesses.”

– Joe Evenson, Program Services Director, Sioux Falls, SD

“Grace has truly ‘visionary’ abilities to assist already capable business leaders and management teams seeking to take things to higher levels.”

– Duane B., Executive Consultant, Sioux Falls, SD

“A true analyst of people. Grace has the ability to assess how the people at a business have historically gotten things done and walk them through improving inefficiencies and solving specific problems.”

– Ian D., IT Security Entrepreneur, San Francisco, CA

“Really enjoyed hearing your presentation about building a team that is efficient, productive, and also has fun.”

– Sandy A., Privacy Officer, Bend, OR
