Strategist with Soul • Veteran Owned
I’m Grace O. De Angelou, a scholar practitioner, veteran, and founder of Focus Go Forward Coaching, LLC (FGFC), a trauma-informed coaching practice rooted in resilience, leadership, and transformational growth. FGFC was born from lived experience, professional service, and spiritual restoration.
After over 30 years of federal service in workforce development, youth mentorship, and education training, including roles with the National Guard Youth Challenge Academy, Brunswick Job Corps, and the CDC, I witnessed firsthand the power of direction, opportunity, and intentional support. These roles revealed a pattern: people are navigating transition but lacking tools for forward movement.
In the aftermath of two life-changing accidents, while navigating the shortcomings of VA systems and mental health facilities, I leaned into my healing journey with the same discipline I taught others. My service animal, trained by Healing4Heroes, became a partner in my path forward not just physically, but spiritually. That is when FGFC was born.
At FGFC, we don’t just coach; we walk beside. Our core belief is simple:
Change takes time. Trust the process.
Whether you’re a youth at risk, a professional in career transition, or a leader seeking purpose-aligned clarity, our programs are anchored in mindfulness, executive function, and emotional intelligence. They are designed to move you from stuck to strategy, from silence to power, from trauma to transformation.
Are you navigating a life transition or exploring new opportunities, we are here to help you build purposeful, professional relationships that support your growth.
