Thank you so much for a most valuable brainstorming session with you. So many concrete ideas to work with, which is invaluable for me at this time. I just want to give a shout out to Gia with whom I had the most amazing brain storming session this week. She was amazing in the way she captured possibilities, my message and for example article topics from just listening to me talking; apparent she has been doing PR for a very long time.
– Barbro Sjotun (Sweden), coaching client
Timing, awareness of opportunity and execution is usually a winning combination for me to achieve many of my goals. Gia provided a similar but more beneficial option. The timing was right because I was shifting my focus. Opportunity came by invitation and execution through accountability of genuine support.
– Business Development Manager, General Motors
Working with Gia has allowed me to step out of my box and think of creative ways to use my talents and to develop multiple streams of income which is so important as an entrepreneur.
-Helen Williams Nurse, Owner of TracyChambers Vintage
We joined forces to expand our company's services and knew The Organized Home (TOH) was unique, but didn’t have the words to accurately describe the business. Gia asked all the right questions which allowed us to really think and focus on what we wanted to convey to our clients. She not only learned about the business, but learned about us...from why we do what we do; and what our clients get from our services. The personal touch she brought made conversations with her easy. She took the time needed to get it right, and in the end, created the talking points that were cohesive, consistent, sincere, relatable and differentiated. In short, she gave our business a stronger and well positioned voice in the market. She gave us the confidence to engage potential clients about our business, “We help our clients see and achieve their possibilities”. After working with Gia, we are better able to articulate this experience with clients and can clearly envision 'all the places we can go'!
- Denise N. Gordon, Founder & Tanya S. Lewis, Austin Gray Design Group
