Stuart Kibbe is the founder of Grace, a Swiss B2B training and coaching firm that helps organisations build the emotional intelligence their people need to perform, collaborate, and lead.

Under Stuart's leadership, Grace has grown a network of more than 40 certified trainers and coaches delivering programmes in seven languages across Europe, drawing on peer-reviewed EI research from bodies including the Greater Good Science Center and the HeartMath Institute, of which Grace is an official member.
