Our Offerings

We help position leaders and organizations for growth through our strategic planning, business development, and coaching practices.

STRATEGIC VISION AND MAPPING

At the onset of our work we perform a diagnostic to get a lay of the land. We’ll ask questions about organizational leadership, assess the current state of the business, and identify what the leadership team would like to achieve. We’ll also review the company’s current business and strategic plans, if they exist.We then conduct a strategic planning and mapping session with key members of the leadership team. Here, we’ll craft or refine existing mission and vision statements, define short and long term goals, and devise a strategic plan to get there.

We finalize the strategic vision and mapping process by creating an action plan, defining performance benchmarks, timeframes for accomplishment, and executive ownership of objectives. We will be with you at every step of the way guiding the entire implementation and execution process.

LEADERSHIP & C-SUITE COACHING

We coach executives on how to lead, manage, and inspire their teams to achieve optimal performance. In many instances, founders of companies don’t have management or leadership experience. We start by performing an assessment of the current leadership abilities, style, and presence.

We’ll conduct in-depth interviews to understand what the goals are for leadership. We then come up with a plan to work on areas of opportunity and define a leadership style and presence. We coach our C-Suite leaders on solving the challenges that they face and help identify, translate, and evangelize a mission and vision for the company.

In some cases, executive coaching turns into personal coaching, as we dig into the reasoning behind a leader’s aspirations. We will discuss the strategies needed to achieve long-term goals such as selling the company or bringing on a family member.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & REVENUE ATTAINMENT

We start by interviewing leadership to gain perspective on current sales and business development strategies and results.

As part of our analysis we will review historical sales performance against goals, growth trajectory (look back at past 5 years), performance and composition of sales and biz dev workforce (individual and team), efficacy of marketing, lead generation, and customer acquisition strategies, brand position, and market share against competitors.

Using our learnings we’ll work with the leadership team to create a sales and marketing plan that drives defined future revenue growth targets—ensuring that productivity and profitability is maximized and teams are engaged.

BUSINESS & TEAM COACHING

We coach executive teams, departments, and individuals based on client need. These engagements are usually born as an extension of the strategic planning session where we begin our engagement.

Our planning sessions allow us to not only gain an understanding of the company and its objectives but also provide invaluable insights into team and interpersonal dynamics which are just as critical to business success. If top leadership and teams aren’t functionally sound, no business plan will work.

We’ll provide solutions based on your company’s unique needs. From simple things like defining a team lead, to identifying the need for and creating a new department, we have it covered.

What Our Clients Have to Say

What Our Clients
Have to Say

Gina is a kind-hearted superwoman, rising up and ready to go to battle for those she believes in. She’s not only endowed with exceptional sales, sales leadership, business knowledge and abilities, she’s relentlessly results-driven and empowers those around her to achieve their personal best. Having built and led national sales organizations, having successfully scaled an industry disruptor, she’s been sought after for her business counsel and perspective, as well as leadership coaching. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us navigate some challenging transitions and take our company to the next level.

CEO—Talent coaching and recruiting firm

What I loved about working with Gina was the energy she brought to the problem-solving process—which was both positive and critical in all the most important ways. Positive energy alone can feel useless. But hers is rejuvenating. She’s direct, honest and doesn’t sugar-coat while still reflecting back your best traits--as a business or individual.She helped us take a large question—what is our strategy exactly and carefully broke it down into manageable, doable chunks. She asks tough questions and she listens to the answers. Listening is hard to come by in the business world, but Gina is great at it—and she uses the information she gathers to think deeply about how to solve critical problems.

President & Owner—Talent and recruitment company

Gina is an innate leader with a growth mindset and a strong grasp of business fundamentals. She is a strategic thinker who is able to craft and articulate a company’s strategy in a clear, convincing and precise manner, making it easy to get buy-in, from both management and employees at all levels. Gina is not only able to devise strategy, but knows how to execute. She is able to prioritize the most essential elements of a plan and is particularly adept at leveraging an organization’s process and control, skills and the team’s collective strengths—which was absolutely impactful. She is mission-driven and results-oriented and is able to galvanize the necessary resources to meet and exceed goals. Gina will be an asset to any company with whom she engages.

Former CFO—Luxury travel company

Gina can see a huge, incredibly messy situation and very clearly pinpoint what’s wrong, why it’s wrong, where to start to fix it and why it happened. The who/what/when/where/why method of fixing situations.

CEO & Founder—Strategic content and communications firm

Our business was stuck on a plateau until we hired Gina to help us break through to the next level. We were competent within a narrow sphere of activity but we had atrophied with dependence on just a few primary producers. We had no focus on a unifying Vision and little process to continue our historic success, let alone to break through to the next level.

We are now an efficient machine with much better performance from our resources, some of which were underperforming before Gina came on board. We are on our way to running as a highly efficient machine with significantly increased horsepower. We were able to recruit a world class level of talent to our organization after Gina helped us to up our game. This is very substantial to a talent-driven business like ours. —Founder/CEO, Capital Placement Firm

Founder & CEO—Capital Placement Firm

Gina helped each individual player on our team discover their unique gifts and then coached to those gifts, driving each of us to perform to the best of our ability and work together to benefit the organization. She is never flustered, always even-keeled and the voice of reason in high-pressure work environments. Gina, specifically, drives teams to see and adopt a greater strategic vision and holds everyone accountable to ensure the vision is met successfully. She’ll ask the hard-hitting questions, get you to rally around a vision, and lead you to your goal.

Senior Membership Executive—Lifestyle Brand

As a negotiator and long-term strategic thinker, Gina plays to win and her methodical approach to problem-solving, and a sharp eye for detail, yields success both for the leaders she coaches and the larger organization as a whole. I have been able to draw on Gina’s expertise to shape and negotiate extremely challenging contractual issues. Her ability to think through both sides of an issue while above all helping me to create an outcome from which I benefitted maximally is something of which I stand in awe and for which I will always be eternally grateful.If you are looking for a team player who brings a breadth of experience, and incredibly sharp business acumen into the thorniest professional challenges, look no further.

CEO—Consulting Agency

Gina has an innate ability to ask the right questions, dig into underlying issues, and understand the potential within our leadership team. She is a gifted facilitator, and helped us to integrate our different working styles and personalities in a way that each of us began to understand our unique super powers and areas of strength and opportunity.

Bookings Director—Luxury Travel Company

Gina is insanely positive. No matter what obstacle comes her way, no is not an option.There were countless times when we worked together that I was sure something would not happen and she very calmly set me straight that we could accomplish the goals, which we did! Getting our company’s products into trade shows, landing a segment on QVC, getting national press coverage, and the list goes on. She believes that she and her clients deserve success and that is huge.

Founder & CEO—Product Design Firm

Gina knows the path to take to achieve big goals. Where other people lose time second guessing what direction to take—wasting countless hours and creating untold anxiety, she helps you make the decision and immediately gets to work on the execution plan. She doesn’t waste time reinventing the wheel, but looks at where you are now and what has been done before and uses this learning to model the future. This definitely helps to make any goal achievable and keeps you from getting overwhelmed.

Founder & President—Branding & Digital Design Company

Gina is an outstanding strategist and facilitator, she is extremely organized and detailed-oriented, and most importantly (to me!) she helps us move things forward and get things done! When our nascent organization needed to become more mature and professional, Gina helped get us there. There are many people with strategic planning and coaching skills, but in my experience very few are truly able to adapt their skill sets to the needs of unique (and perhaps ‘funky’) organizations. Gina is one such strategic planner and coach. What I am so grateful for is that she understood our context, aspirations, and also limitations. and understood how to move staff and board members together in a manner that has indeed made us a more effective and impactful organization.

Founder & President—Not for Profit Organization

As a business leader, I have worked with a number of consultants throughout my career and experienced varying degrees of effectiveness. What I have come to learn is, the consultants that completely immerse themselves in their client’s business are the ones that make the greatest contributions. Gina understands that approach and takes the time to understand the grass roots of a company. She digs deep into her clients’ organization to fully grasp the systemic issues and provides bottoms-up and top-down solutions. During our time together Gina provided a meaningful assessment of our situation with realistic and scalable solutions. She is an asset to any leadership team faced with a problem to solve.

CMO—Luxury Travel Group

I reviewed this website and I can attest that Gina and her team delivers on everything offered here, plus more. What's not mentioned but which has been significant to us includes: team coaching and team efficiency; HR strategy and procedures; leadership training for senior execs and professionalization / career enrichment for younger staff; improved financial tracking and projections; improved adherence to CFOs and KPIs; improved accountability across the company; and an enhanced CULTURE of professionalism, integrity and achievement. Furthermore, unlike other executive team coaches I've hired in the past, Gina is committed to the ongoing implementation of processes and the ongoing achievement of goals and accountability. This was one of my primary criteria in hiring an executive team coach.
