About Disrupting Gracefully and Barbara Ann Jacques, PhD


What is Disrupting Gracefully?

Disrupting Gracefully is about breaking free from outdated systems, beliefs, and behaviors to create aligned, sustainable growth through coaching, consulting, speaking, and retreats.

The Philosophy Behind Disrupting Gracefully

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
– Buckminster Fuller

This quote serves as the foundation of Disrupting Gracefully. Instead of battling outdated systems and beliefs, we focus on creating innovative, aligned models that naturally replace what no longer works. Guided by this philosophy, I empower professionals and organizations to embrace sustainable transformation with grace.

““My father died this morning, peacefully and seemingly pain free. I was there and able to say goodbye. For the last two hours of his life, he was surrounded by the energy and symbols you taught me. I really felt that I made a connection with him even though his physical body was not conscious. It was the closest that I have felt to him in a long while. Once again, I am so grateful for your teachings. You are a very gifted individual with much to offer. Thank you for all that you have taught me and for being so inspirational.” ”
