GLOBAL RECRUITMENT AND CONSULTATIONS IN EDUCATION
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
As the lead consultant at G.R.A.C.E. I can say with confidence that one of my greatest achievements as the leader of G.R.A.C.E. is the value placed on the relationships I acquired over the past two decades.
As a company we are advocates of making long lasting connections with people beyond our contractual working obligations. We simply love working with people and teams to innovate and create solutions for educational entities, encouraging others to be purpose driven... just like us.
We know that connecting with others Is a meaningful experience and we are certain that the intersection of us working together is not a co-incidence. We are very mindful of relationship intelligence (RQ) and practice emotional intelligence (EQ) to cultivate working relationships with our clients and those we interact with. It is this that fosters a successful and corroborative working environment.
We are very proud of each working relationship we have invested in and I am humbled to share with you what others think about the standards of our work ethic, character and the achievements fostered by us in their work environments.
We look forward to working with you and experiencing the impact we will have on you and the impact that you will have on us.

I worked under Vivian’s leadership in 2012 as a fresh, inexperienced yet eager educator I might have not had all the necessary qualifications but Vivian saw a potential for growth and she heavily invested in me, day in and day out.
Vivian goes above and beyond to provide all available professional development opportunities for staff and to assist them in achieving a sense of accomplishment, becoming purpose driven educators.

I met Vivian nearly 10 years ago when I came to Egypt to work as a teacher.
