Gretta turned a personal tragedy into a powerful transformation, after her husband committed suicide in front of her. Her ability to regain hope and redirect her life, she believes, is inherent in us all.

Whether speaking in the media, in front of an audience or through her writing, Gretta's message compels people to move forward in their lives, regardless of what hardships they're facing or adversity they're encountering.

Gretta asks us to question our old beliefs to see if they are making us happy and she invites us to challenge our decisions by asking if we made them out of obligation, fear or out of love. By raising questions, Gretta also raises our awareness in our need to be conscious decision makers."Understanding why we think, feel and act the way we do brings the awareness and power to change ones life."

In 2005, Gretta launched "Inspiring Enterprises." Spring of '06 saw the publication of her first book, "From The Ashes, Flies The Phoenix: Creating A Powerful Life After Suicide," a personal account of a time in Gretta's life when lost hope was regained and lost potential was found.

A graduate of Arizona State University, Gretta Krane lives with her twin sons in Phoenix, AZ where she speaks to colleges, universities, support groups, organizations and individuals about the power to move forward, the power to change, and the power of hope.
