“The simple—and easy to follow—tips Gigi gave me have helped my camera confidence. She’s helping me go from camera-shy to camera-‘hi!’”

“For those of you in the Portland area, Gigi is a gem and great to work with on public speaking!”

“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 helped me make a pitch more succinct, easier to understand and honed in on opportunities for clever editing of key words to enhance the overall delivery. Her feedback was specific, clear, and impactful. She is warm, clever, charming and overall a pleasure to work with.”

“I am grateful for Gigi’s expertise and for helping me secure a new role recently. The skills she helped me perfect ensured that my presentations during the interview process impressed the selection committee enough that they hired me!”

“It was a pleasure to work with Gigi. I learned a tremendous amount in our sessions about shaping a talk and presenting to a non-academic audience. I know this will continue to serve me in the future.”

“Moderating the panel discussion went better than I ever could have expected! Gigi helped me craft questions, transition smoothly between topics and think through details I hadn’t considered. Afterwards, my mentor complimented me on my professional presence. Pretty awesome all around!”

“Gigi was extremely professional, attentive and flexible in coaching team members overseas. All reports back highlighted Gigi’s efficiency during sessions and her ability to quickly pinpoint areas for speakers to improve while offering practical and helpful solutions to speakers to optimize right away. Gigi’s work far exceeded our expectations. ”

“Thanks for your help on my Artist Talk. I felt much more confident after our session. Your suggestions and techniques were invaluable and helped me feel so much more comfortable. The audience was very attentive and responded with huge applause and lively questions.”

“I felt immensely happy after I gave my presentation. The time and energy I put into the process really paid off. Gigi’s suggestions helped me keep the audience engaged throughout. I received positive feedback not only from my boss but from one of my competitors. I’m so glad I used Gigi’s consulting and I will be back.”

“Thank you for the work you did with me individually to prepare me for my session AND the collective work you did with all of the speakers you worked with. It really paid off. Not only was your advice really valuable but you also lit a fire under those who were less prepared to get ready. By the end we were strong and coherent! We really appreciate it. ”

“We have consulted with Gigi for group training and individual coaching with excellent results. With her innate good humor, she quickly zeros in on a presenter’s strengths, offering practical insights to build confidence and keep audiences engaged. She’s become our secret weapon!”

“Gigi brought insight and knowledge to my staff at MSN that dramatically enhanced their communication skills. She listened, observed, coached individuals to understand unique skills suited to their specific needs. She has an instructional mastery that I have rarely seen.”

“Gigi gave me several actionable ideas that I incorporated into my remarks which greatly improved my presentation. She also asked me to send her a self-critique of my performance and then followed up with several more ideas for next time. I was impressed at how substantive her suggestions were. She clearly knows her stuff.”

“I reached out to Gigi for some quick help for a talk I was preparing. This isn’t something I do very often. I was having some amazing bouts of nerves as the day drew closer. We chatted for a while and Gigi asked a lot of great questions and made several suggestions, including “take a walk!” And that did the trick. Walking is my thing. On Gigi’s advice, I planned (and took) a big long walk at my favorite place in Seattle, Seward Park. Set the tone for the whole day and evening. No nerves! Thanks Gigi. ”

“When I came to Gigi I had a lot of little ‘stories’ disorganized in bits and pieces and I struggled to get through them both because I was trying to remember the order and because it was boring. Gigi helped me separate my talk into three distinct sections, with a flashback to the beginning, and organized it in a clear, compelling, and surprising way. When I tell my story this way my listeners seem much more engaged and I don’t get bored telling it so my delivery is better. ”
