"I’m already an intelligent person. I already have what I need—I just didn’t know how to use it. That’s where Gina came in. Through simple but powerful questions, insightful reading recommendations, and deep coaching, she helped me unlock the leadership skills I already had but wasn’t leveraging."
"Before working with Gina, I had never taken a formal leadership course. I knew something was missing, but I didn’t know what or how to fix it. Through her coaching, I realized leadership isn’t just about decision-making—it’s about understanding emotional intelligence (EQ), managing energy, and knowing how to show up effectively under stress. She took what felt like a scattered palette of colors and taught me how to paint with it—how to build a strong foundation, put a roof over it, and fix things when the inevitable storm comes."
"The biggest eye-opener? Learning how my energy impacts those around me. That realization alone was groundbreaking and completely changed the way I lead. Gina didn’t just give me tools—she taught me how to use them. And for the first time, I feel like I’m leading, not just managing."
"If you’re open-minded and eager to grow, she will teach you everything you need to know to be a great leader. I’m not perfect, but I’ve made leaps and bounds—and I have Gina to thank for that."
