The facilitator was fantastic! Supported a broad range of perspectives, and did an amazing job keeping us all engaged, offering individual development, and powerful learnings in such a short period of time! Thank you!

This was my most eye-opening and useful course I’ve ever taken. The presenter broke down the MANY elements of professional communication into digestible, attainable, and humorous segments. It got to a level I wasn’t aware of and so much more impactful than the typical surface level feedback I’ve gotten from peers.

Wow! Great seminar! I didn’t look at my phone once during the entire 2-hour workshop – and that’s never happened before!!

The best training of this type I’ve had, and I am a professional communicator. I never lost focus as the topic, presentation, and activities were all so interesting. Gina really is a master in her craft.

The Executive Presence workshop was the best training I have taken, full of tangible takeaways and specific, immediately applicable feedback. Everyone needs to take this training. +1000!

Gina delivered an ‘Influencing training and practicum’ to my team of 16 and delivered clear and actionable feedback to the team during practicum. We left the session immediately brainstorming how we could apply the strategies and tactics to our decks and our next presentations. I will call her again to share this training with another team and to finetune an important pitch!

The course was EXCELLENT and truly actionable and enjoyable, especially with magnanimous presence! I have taken a lot of similar courses over the years, and this was clearly one that stood out.

Impressed with how much was packed into a compact class. The facilitator’s background lent credibility to the teaching.

One of the best courses I have ever done. Particularly useful for work from home.

One of the most concise, informative, and useful sessions I’ve ever had for imposter syndrome. You leave feeling better about why you have it and how to minimize it.

The facilitator was fantastic! Supported a broad range of perspectives, and did an amazing job keeping us all engaged, offering individual development, and powerful learnings in such a short period of time! Thank you!

Amazing class that gave me a lot of insight on how to be a better speaker. Gina has fascinating insights in how men and women are perceived differently.
