From a young age, Donna was inspired by her mother, Grace, whose unwavering belief in kindness and gratitude became the foundation of Donna’s life and work. This foundation, lovingly referred to as Gratitude by Grace, highlights the importance of building relationships, serving others, and showing acts of kindness.
This passion grew into GrandeConnections, where Donna helps businesses overcome a common struggle: standing out in a crowded marketplace and forming genuine, lasting connections with prospects, clients, and partners.
Through the use of a powerful gratitude tool, Donna empowers professionals to nurture relationships with personalized and meaningful gestures. Her approach transforms client outreach from transactional to impactful, helping businesses build trust, foster loyalty, and establish themselves as standout leaders in their industries.
Donna firmly believes that when businesses prioritize gratitude and genuine connections, growth becomes a natural outcome—whether through increased referrals, stronger client retention, or a more engaged network.
Her mission is clear: to help businesses connect with their audience on a deeper level, proving that relationships are at the heart of success.
With over 25 years of experience in Business Development roles, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse array of companies—from national corporations to regional and locally-owned businesses.
Throughout my journey, I came to a profound realization: selling is not just about transactions and numbers. It’s about nurturing connections and building long-lasting relationships.
My Superpower is teaching individuals and organizations
to cultivate genuine relationships with their clients,

My life’s mission is to change transactions into true connections. Now, I help others do the same.
