Our Founder, Anne Miner
I started Women with GRIT after my husband and business partner, Olev, died. I had to figure out — fast, without a map, and without him — how to rebuild a business and a life at the same time. What I learned in that process became the backbone of this program. I'm not teaching theory. I'm teaching what got me through.
I hold an MBA and have spent more than 30 years as a business owner, entrepreneur, international speaker, and best-selling author — mentoring and coaching teams and individuals through exactly the kind of rebuilding this community exists for.
Over the years, I've also demonstrated my commitment to empowering women through my involvement with the YWCA, the International Women's Forum, my TV series Women with Courage, and my radio program, Encouraging Conversations.
It takes GRIT to rebuild anything worthwhile. I'm committed to helping other women do exactly that — with more support than I had.
Our Community
Members of Women with GRIT span every age and stage, across North America — all rebuilding in their own way, and showing up for each other along the way. We exchange ideas, share hard-won lessons, and hold each other accountable as we work toward our highest and best selves.
Our Faculty
Anne Miner is our primary instructor, bringing her own experience directly into every module. She's regularly joined by guest women with GRIT — real voices, real stories — during our community conversations.
