"In a divided world, leadership means more than taking sides - it means building bridges."

Dr. Grady Throneberry is a seasoned leader, keynote speaker, and coach who helps individuals and organizations lead with integrity, empathy, and courage. Drawing from decades of experience in law enforcement, ministry, and business ownership, Grady brings a rare perspective that bridges leadership principles, personal growth, and social awareness.

For more than 40 years, Grady has led from the front lines of public service, business, and faith. As a former police chief, safety director, and small-business founder, he built diverse teams, guided people through crisis, and championed the power of authentic leadership. As a pastor and LGBTQ advocate, he’s devoted to helping others lead without compromise—where faith and inclusion coexist, and courage means standing in truth even when it’s uncomfortable.

Grady works at the intersection of leadership, authenticity, and belonging—where outlier thinking isn’t rebellion, it’s renewal.

His keynotes and coaching experiences challenge audiences to think differently—about leadership, identity, and what it means to build communities rooted in trust, respect, and inclusion.
