See the list of who gigi has coached.
“Gigi is an outstanding public speaking coach. Her warmth and humor keeps her audience engaged and her amazing insights and advice helps everyone who works with her take their public speaking to the next level.
”
“When the pandemic hit, I had to transform a professional leadership program into a teleconference experience. The tools and inspiration Gigi offered changed my game. Completely. She reframed and transformed my thinking. In turn, I was able to transform my program into a teleconference experience with great success. Thank you, Gigi!”
“Gigi walks the walk! Her public speaking guidance is warm and practical. Plus she models perfectly how it’s done. She tailors her suggestions for her audience, whether a group or an individual. Just like a pro, she makes it look easy. Highly recommended for coaching, training and presentations — especially with women on the rise!”
