What event organisers, industry professionals and different audiences say about Grace.

The speaker who will impact your audience

“Grace Rowe is an exceptional speaker, MC, and interviewer whose professionalism and warmth shine through in every engagement. She is articulate, thoughtful, and incredibly well-prepared, with a natural ability to structure conversations and presentations in a way that feels both seamless and engaging. Grace brings depth, intelligence, and genuine curiosity to her work, making audiences and guests feel comfortable and valued. Her thorough approach, polished delivery, and confident presence make her a standout communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with. She is grace personified!”

— Angela Farr-Jones

Co-Founder and CEO Stand Tall Australia

“Grace is an absolute breath of fresh air - articulate, engaging, and deeply authentic. She speaks with a rare combination of warmth and wisdom that resonates with both young and old alike. Her message is powerful because it comes straight from the heart, leaving her audience not only inspired but genuinely moved."

— Libby Allaway

Founder Let’s Connect Women (spoke on a panel with Grace at Olympic swimmer, Elka Whalan’s, QueenHood event)

“I was interviewed by Grace in 2022 during the Stand Tall regional tour of NSW. A key memory of our interviews was the way she would draw out the gold in our Q&A whilst on stage. It is a gift to know how to direct questions with intentionality and to know where to land, yet she did it beautifully every time. I can highly recommend her from the excellence she carries in her work and her beautiful character on and off stage.”

— Nicola Olyslagers

Olympic Medalist for High Jumping, World Champion (interviewed by Grace at 3 stop Regional Tour for over 9,000 people)

“When I invited Grace to speak it was known she would be the youngest woman in the room of ladies across all seasons; and yet she held every eye gaze, every ear pressed in and at the end the line up of women generations older than her waiting to applaud and speak to her was phenomenal. Graces’ ability lies in meeting people where they are and authentically connecting with sincerity, and determination. She lights up literally when been asked to talk and is a weapon to the young women attempting to follow her path, a bar set so high by her speaking presence that any company who engages with her have already won before their event takes place.”

— Elka Whalan

Olympic Swimmer, Founder of QueenHood, Speaker and Presenter

“Grace is the next generation of inspiring communicators. Loved by audiences, a dynamite speaker, she speaks from the heart with conviction and depth. Grace has a presence on stage that you don’t find often in someone at the beginning of their career. She’s a natural. She is wise, which finds her favour with people in leadership and she is real, which sets her as the gold standard representative of her generation. If you want a knock out speaker that your audience will love, then Grace is your person.”

— Maz Compton

Radio Star, former host of 2DayFM and current host Triple M, public speaker and presenter

"I have had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Grace on several projects, and every experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

As a speaker and MC, Grace has a rare gift for drawing both her audience and her interviewees into conversations that are authentic, meaningful, and deeply engaging.

Her ability to actively listen, understand, and respond with genuine curiosity and insight creates a space where people feel seen, heard, and valued. It is a talent that cannot be taught - it is simply part of who she is.

What makes Grace even more remarkable is the way she weaves her own story of resilience, courage, and triumph into her work. She speaks from a place of lived experience, and that authenticity allows her to connect with people on a profound level.

I wholeheartedly recommend her as a speaker, MC, and storyteller.”

— Joany Badenhorst

Paralympian, World Champion Snow Boarder, Keynote Speaker & MC

"Grace is a vibrant young girl with a beautiful heart and a powerful presence. I had the honour of being interviewed by her, and I was truly impressed by the way she carries herself with confidence, warmth, and professionalism. Grace is an incredible speaker and MC who knows how to capture the hearts of everyone in the audience. She has a natural gift for connecting with people and making every conversation feel meaningful and inspiring.”

— Leila Abdallah

Founder of ‘i4Give’ foundation, internationally renowned speaker (interviewed by Grace at youth event for over 4,500 high school students))

"When my friends were asked who their favourite speaker was from the Stand Tall event, Grace's name kept coming up over and over again. Her story and how it impacted them was beautiful. They kept talking about how even in times where it seemed too tough, Grace pushed through with full determination. They spoke so highly of Grace."

— Year 10 High School Student

“I have worked with Grace for almost 6 years. Grace is thoughtful in her approach to her role, be it as speaker, MC, interviewer or host. She puts in the work before hand, but the output is effortless and professional. She is empathetic in her approach and she is genuinely curious about people, organisations and wants to ensure the event, the interview and the opportunity achieve good outcomes for all involved. Grace has a presence and holds space so others are comfortable to share, be vulnerable and inspire. Above all of this, she is inspiring!”

— Zoë Robinson

Former NSW Advocate for Children and Young People, Executive Director Department for Education, Tasmanian Government

“Grace is a pleasure to share the stage with. She has the beautiful versatility of being able to engage and captivate the audience while also having an innate sense of when to step back to allow space for others to shine. Many MCs bring a sense of ego onto the stage yet by contrast Grace has an aura of warmth and connection that draws an audience in. She is equally at home conducting a delicate Q&A or hyping the crowd and raising the energy. Grace has a natural ability and skill set beyond her years. I look forward to future opportunities to work with Grace again."

— Nathan Strempel

Presenter, MC, Commentator & Speaker (Co-MC’d with Grace at Stand Tall Canberra event)

“I heard Grace speak today, and her story was so incredible. I've never seen Coffs Harbour like this, she moved the crowd and brought everyone together. It was truly amazing. Hope you come again next year!”

— Year 9 High School Student

“I've had the privilege of knowing Grace Rowe for three years, meeting her through Stand Tall and collaborating on numerous events where she's hosted videos for my projects. In that time, I've watched her grow into an incredible public speaker - someone who turns circumstance into strength, and does it with consistent energy and zest. What continues to impress me is how comfortable Grace is in front of the camera. Her ability to deliver in one take is remarkable. Having worked in the marketing industry for around 15 years - a fair amount of that in sport - I can say it's rare to find someone who brings that kind of energy while also delivering so precisely and naturally on camera. Her attitude makes her an absolute pleasure to work with, professional in every sense. But beyond being a wonderful client, Grace is also a friend, and someone I recognise as a truly remarkable young human.”

— Aaron Leslie

Videographer, Editor, Owner of Colony Creative

"Grace’s speech at our International Women’s Day event on 7 March 2025, was incredibly moving. As a professional motocross rider who overcame a life-altering accident, Grace shared her powerful journey with raw honesty and vulnerability. Her resilience and determination to rise above adversity were truly inspiring, showing over 300 attendees what true strength looks like. Grace’s story wasn’t just about surviving - it was about thriving, finding new purpose, and never giving up. Her words left a lasting impression on me, and every person in the room, reminding us all that no challenge is too big when we have the courage to face it head-on.”

— Danielle McKenna ​​​​

Chief Community & Communications Officer, Revesby Workers Club

"Grace’s message was really inspiring, I had been in and out of the hospital a lot just like her, and she put into words how I felt during those times. Her message today was so incredible.”

— Year 8 High School Student

"One moment that stayed with me was Grace Rowe's heartfelt story. After surviving a near-fatal accident, Grace spoke about what truly matters in life and how resilience, perspective, and hope have guided her recovery. Her words reminded me that “winning” often means finding strength in adversity and cherishing the simple, meaningful things."

— Aileen MacDonald OAM MLC ​​​​

Shadow Minister for Youth Justice (attended the Advocate for Children and Young Peoples Voices of Change event)

“Grace left me inspired today. I’m in Year 11 and have gone through some heavy struggles myself. Her words of remembering that time passes and everything comes to an end really struck me, and her saying those things helped me to believe it. She really helped with her words today and I want to personally say thank you.”

— Year 11 High School Student
