The GRACE Framework – with Paul Crick
Season 1 Episode 259
This episode of The Vancrux Podcast marks a special milestone — our first ever in-person show, recorded live with leadership consultant, executive coach, and creator of the GRACE Framework®, Paul Crick.
Paul brings over 20 years of experience working with global organisations including PwC, Capgemini, and IBM, where he coached senior leaders across Fortune 500 companies, scale-ups, and SMEs. He later co-led IBM’s Global Coaching Community, supporting more than 4,000 coaches across 80 countries, before founding his own consultancy, The Elevate Partnership.
In this conversation, we explore what happens when leadership moves beyond hustle, pressure, and constant performance — and shifts inside-out. Paul shares how his unique integration of leadership psychology, Aikido, and creative practice helps high-achievers move from pressure to presence.
We also touch on the GRACE Framework® — Ground, Resolve, Accept, Create, Embody — and why GRACE may be the essential advantage that modern leadership desperately needs, but relentless hustle can’t provide.
A grounded, reflective discussion on leadership, resilience, culture, and what it really means to lead well in a demanding world.
