Why grace, now?
We’re under pressure and the pressure is increasing:
- in the workplace – where we’re asked to do more with less, and compete with each other for seemingly scarce organizational resources/opportunities
- in the world – as we’ve known it, that seems like it’s coming to an end
- with family and friends – that may need or demand more support than ever
- within ourselves – to know how to respond, especially if we struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, anxiety and lack of self-confidence due to past trauma
We can lose sleep trying to “figure out” the answers or “understand why” things are the way they are. When we lean into grace (acceptance, self-forgiveness, appreciation), we get relief from overthinking, create more space in the moment, and can notice what is emerging for us.
“Have you ever noticed that setting up a deadline for generating a creative solution is not nearly as fruitful as creating some additional spaciousness in the day, time to let the mind be creative?”
Janice Marturano, Institute for Mindful Leadership
The Grace Salon is for you if:
- You notice an increased sense of pressure within yourself and around you.
- You feel anxious or nervous about the way the world is heading.
- You’re concerned about your work and capacity to sustain yourself over time.
- It feels like nothing else is helping and you’re tired and/or frustrated.
- You have a sense that something else is possible – a different way of showing up and responding – and you’d like to explore that further.
Welcome to the Grace Salon
What is the Grace Salon?
The Grace Salon is a 2-hour exploration of grace in community with each other.
The salons are non-religious, virtual, and small (6 to 8 people). They are curated with people that also find the idea of grace interesting, are committed to learning in life, and have their own wisdom to share.
Grace Salons are facilitated by Maggie Coulter, Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Trauma-Informed Certified Coach (TICC), Applied Mindfulness Meditation Specialist, and experienced facilitator.
What You Can Expect
Facilitated learning and new perspectives around grace:
- Facilitated self-reflection and breakout conversations – focused on optimal learning and safety in a group space
- Explore your understanding of, and connection (or disconnection) with grace, what is calling you around grace, what keeps it out of reach, what other words you use to describe it
- Engage with grace practice in the moment – reflecting on the tenets of grace practice (see A Model for Grace Practice below) as they relate to your work, life and current pressures
- Identify intentions for moving out of the Grace Salon with what is emerging for you in the conversation
Drawing on the work of Otto Scharmer (Theory U), Dr. Danny Penman, Janice Marturano, James Baraz, Doug Silsbee, Hougaard, Carter & Coutts, and many others.

1:1 Grace-based Leadership Coaching
For leaders in work and life:
People that have the courage and capacity to do the difficult inner work in order to find their way back home to themselves (and that positively influence others as a result).
Why this program matters:
The world is changing and the pressure is increasing; on ourselves, from others, and on the whole. The old ways of working with our brains are unhelpful and even harmful – we’re stressing ourselves out with overthinking and a fix-it mindset.
We need to develop new ways of relating to and with ourselves so that we can feel lighter and more energized, and tune into more of our own wisdom.
What you’ll focus on:
- Exploring and connecting with your own experience of grace* and what that means to you
- Identifying your own sources of internal and external pressure and recognizing how they may be limiting your capacity to respond well
- Clarifying for yourself what it looks like to live and work in a more grace-based way, and why that matters for you now
- Developing your own practice for living and working with grace, and establishing new habits to support that over time
*Note: part of our exploration may include finding a different word/image that serves you better.
Details:
- 8 x 1:1 coaching sessions, every 2 to 3 weeks by Zoom
- Access to supportive resources and exercises
- Includes 90-minute discovery/intake session to get clear on what will make this worthwhile for you and how we can best work together
- Midway check-in and completion sessions
- Unlimited email access between sessions

A Model For Grace Practice
Choose Silence
Put down the phone, turn off the TV, and be with silence for the moment – however uncomfortable it may seem.
Nothing Is Required
Don’t try to figure anything out in that moment and let go of having to.
Notice What Emerges
A thought, a feeling. Often rising quietly in the back of the mind, these emergent little nuggets are the voice of wisdom and have much to offer in the moment.
