Passion Is Contagious. 

GCG is passionate about helping leaders and organizations harness their vision for social impact into compelling narratives. Storytelling is a time-honored and highly effective tool for sharing your values and mobilizing champions for your cause. We activate the storyteller within so that you can deepen connections with your supporters and inspire a shared vision for social change.  

Stories Are the Currency of Connection.

A compelling vision of impact - one that includes emotion, data, and leadership credentials - is at the heart of every successful initiative. Often, we intrinsically know why the work is important, yet haven’t given ourselves permission or time to step back from the day-to-day work to carefully craft the “why” and the “how.” We can help elevate the story of your leadership, passion, purpose, and impact across verbal, visual, and written communication channels. GCG will work with you to draft, refine, and share essential narratives for grant applications and annual reports, social media channels and events, board, staff, community, and funder meetings, and everything in-between.

Ready to Amplify Passion and Purpose
at Your Next Speaking Engagement?

As a social impact leader, we know that you’ll find yourself talking about your work to anybody and everybody who crosses your path. Your work is just that important. Yet what about those moments that feel especially critical to garnering support for your vision: a networking gathering, a pitch competition, a public panel event, a one-on-one with a funder or investor, a media interview, a keynote speech engagement, or an annual board meeting?  When the spotlight hits the stage, even the most confident speakers tend to feel a slight buckle in the knees. 

GCG approaches public speaking training from a strengths-based perspective. We help amplify what’s already working and create space to define, meet, and exceed individual development goals. Our highly experiential and customized workshops and coaching sessions utilize a unique set of public speaking and storytelling frameworks, creative writing exercises, physical activities, and improvisation games designed to produce a story bank, connection, and confidence in a short amount of time. Participants will enhance their vision for change, sparking curiosity, buy-in, and action from prospective audiences.

Impactful, Approachable, and Fun

“Stacey led an impactful, approachable, and fun workshop for teams in the MIT Arts Startup Incubator program! The students walked out of the session with more compelling pitches, and the skills and confidence to keep building on their stories. She was excellent at providing feedback, meeting people where they are at, and setting an energetic, positive tone. I would gladly ask her back.”
— Philana Brown, MIT Arts Startup Incubator


Stacey’s unique approach to storytelling and entrepreneurship lifts the leader within each of us and provides a springboard for infusing authenticity, passion, and purpose into every conversation. Her highly interactive workshops immediately alleviate any public speaking nerves, activate creative thinking processes, and foster confidence and camaraderie among participants. Stacey’s expert coaching and facilitation motivates participants to test, practice, and hone the stories needed to inspire a shared vision for their social change work. Every entrepreneur needs a Stacey in their life!
— Professor Sharon Topper, Emerson College, Innovation for Impact
