University of Arkansas 2025 HRD Summit Speaker Grace Judson

I help companies develop the change leadership skills essential for successful, sustainable change.

Change leadership is not the same as change management – and the skills of change
leadership reduce burnout and increase engagement.

I speak on real-world topics, presenting practical tools that attendees can use to change their professional and personal lives.

For 16 years, I held leadership positions in global organizations. In 2005, I realized I could have a more meaningful impact as an external consultant. It’s my mission to help leaders, teams, and individuals become the leaders they truly are.

I teach at local colleges and universities, speak for nonprofit and professional groups, and I wrote the manual on navigating politics in the workplace: Office Politics: The
Elephant in the Conference Room
