Where Audacity Meets Action
Audacity isn't loud.
It's a quiet decision to bet on yourself.
At The Edge of Audacity, our work is grounded in three principles.
​
​Authenticity: Show up as your whole self.
Accountability: Commit to meaningful growth.
Audacity – Take bold, intentional action.
​
This is the space where hesitation ends.
Where preparation meets opportunity.
Where your inner brilliance becomes undeniable.
​
When you’re ready to lead differently, this is where it begins..
Give your career the glow up it deserves
It's Not About Working Harder.
It's About Working Smarter.
My coaching experiences are designed for women who are done shrinking, second-guessing, or surviving toxic spaces. You’ll leave with clarity, a strategy, and renewed confidence to lead with intention — without sacrificing yourself in the process.
Meet Glynnis Swan
Founder, The Edge of Audacity™
When clarity meets courage, confidence becomes your calm.
​
For over 25 years, I’ve navigated the intersection of leadership, conflict, and career transformation across global organizations — from Microsoft to Deloitte. I’ve seen what happens when brilliance dims under toxic leadership, and I’ve made it my mission to help women reignite it.
​
As a credentialed mediator and certified executive and conflict coach, I bring candor, empathy, and strategy to every conversation. My clients call it transformative; I call it audacity in action.
​
The Edge of Audacity isn’t just a brand — it’s a movement for women who lead with heart, hold themselves accountable, and dare to rise anyway.

The Audacity Effect
Real Women. Real breakthroughs.
My coaching experience with Glynnis was awesome!! She gave me great guidance as I started my job search for a much needed change. She updated my resume and her recommended changes to my LinkedIn resulted in a 700% jump in profile views, resulting in several inbounds from recruiters for opportunities. I accepted a magnificent offer for a phenomenal opportunity paying me above and beyond what I could ever imagine or think. Thank you Glynnis for your guidance and help!! Definitely worth the investment!!!

“Glynnis Swan is amazing! I worked with her earlier this year and just from edits to my LinkedIn alone I was getting interviews. I secured a contract that literally DOUBLED my salary and boosted me over $100k. Once I was made permanent, I saw another $25k increase. Best investment of 2021.”
