Making the Jump: A Year of No Fear | Grace Killelea | TEDxPasadena 

Research shows how many of us regret what we don’t ultimately accomplish in our lives. Fear often keeps us from living the life we want as well as attaining the careers we should thrive in. Making the leap to create change, however, is about being afraid, but doing it anyway. During a “year of no fear,” author Grace Killelea discovered just how true that was. She made the leap by literally jumping and found out in the process that letting go of perfection was as liberating as the jump itself. Grace is the CEO and Founder of the GKC Group, a leadership development firm based in Philadelphia. An accomplished human resource and talent executive, Grace’s work rests on what she has identified as the four cornerstones of leadership: relationships, reputation, results, and resilience. Using these pillars, Grace encourages CEOs, executives, and professionals to elevate their leadership skills and transcend their perceived limitations to achieve sustained business and personal success. Grace founded and runs 7 leadership program annually: Half The Sky Leadership for Women and Quattro Leadership, a co-ed offering. Her book, “The Confidence Effect”, was listed as one of the top business books of 2016 by INC.com and has been one of the top 10 best-selling books for Women in Business on Amazon. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
