We all have the capacity to be leaders—but no matter how much we believe in the work we do, it’s easy for us to get sidetracked by fear of failure, imposter syndrome, negative self-talk, obsessive worry, and perfectionism. (Just ask me how I know.)
Leadership coaching is about exploring your mindset, identifying your strengths, and giving you the tools to show up as your authentic self whether it’s meeting with your super busy boss, testifying at a legislative hearing, or just negotiating screen time boundaries at home.
It’s time to rewrite the story you tell yourself about yourself, and discover what you’re truly capable of.
A passion for your work is necessary—but it’s not sufficient.
YOU’RE DEEPLY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE WORK YOU DO. SO WHY DOESN’T THE REST COME NATURALLY?
For 20 years, I worked in public policy and advocacy, aiming to create a more just world. I landed a job in the upper echelon of state government, and loved our mission—but on the inside, I was overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout.
That’s when I had an epiphany: I was so busy advocating for everyone else, I’d forgotten to advocate for myself.
Without meaningful self-care and deep inner work, even the most motivated of women can struggle to lead and serve in their community.
Through collaborative, client-centered coaching, I help women who are passionate about serving the greater good learn to advocate unapologetically for what they need and want in life so they can thrive professionally—and personally.

I needed more clarity on effectively leading a new team and career phase and
I was trying to solve these problems on my own, but with endless work and personal responsibilities, I hadn’t been reflecting on the best way to do it. Since working with Giannina, I have connected with my core values and developed a thought process and self-care practice to show up as a leader in the way I want. Working with Giannina is a great way to invest in yourself to become the leader you want to be.
Giannina has helped me adjust my mindset to gain clarity, focus on my priorities and set achievable goals. Because of our work together, I have shifted the negative narrative in my head toward a more positive story, which has helped me quiet the doubts that often arise as I take on new challenges. I have also reconnected with my purpose and feel more grounded as I continue making progress toward realizing my future vision.

I credit my recent successful job interview thanks to my coaching session with Giannina. The tools and best practices she shared allowed me to face my fears and realize I was capable and ready for this new role. I felt much more confident than ever at the interview and I'm thrilled that I now have a new position that aligns with my values and provides me with more leadership opportunities.
Gabby
When I met with Giannina, I was feeling highly confused about my career path and what steps to take next. I had been having a hard time feeling grounded. I appreciated how focused Giannina was throughout our session on deeply listening to what I was sharing and how much she helped me make positive movement towards the goals I shared with her. She artfully helped me figure out ways to turn my ideas into action items and think more positively and purposefully about my ultimate career goals.
Ariella
After many years of working in the social justice field, I need spaces where I can reflect on my values and develop strategies for sustaining myself in this work for the long haul. I have enjoyed working with Giannina to explore how to cultivate more joy in my work life. Our time together is authentic, thought-provoking,
and inspirational.

I needed support to move forward and become my own boss. Working with Giannina helped me challenge some of my long held beliefs that no longer serve me, which has completely changed my life. I always look forward to our time together because I know I will walk away enlightened and motivated to accomplish my goals.

Working with Giannina, I discovered that I was not ready to move on to another position so quickly. She helped me realize I’d been neglecting my own health and wellbeing for far too long. With plenty of affirmation, skillful reflection and gentle guidance, she helped me tap into my inner wisdom and identify what was most important to me, in a time of great personal and professional change.

The coaching Process
What happens when you choose me as your leadership coach?
Leadership is about so much more than your career. It’s about showing up for yourself, your family, your work, and your community, without compromising your identity or your beliefs. It’s about being a leader in your own life, about truly knowing your “why” so that you can make every decision from a place of radical clarity.
How i define leadership--
More confidence. More clarity. More self-awareness. Whatever you need to show up as the fearless leader you already are, that’s what we’ll work on.
It all starts with a complimentary and confidential 20-minute conversation to talk about you and your goals. Let's explore together and decide if we click and how best to move forward.
Wherever you are, that’s where we start.
