“My coaching with Gitta was transformative. Gitta helped me become a better public speaker in a short period of 6 sessions. Her approach was intuitive, and she also pushed me out of my comfort zone at times to really stretch and grow. I learned new skills and approaches quickly as each session was designed to help me with one of my skills gaps. Gitta came prepared to our sessions with engaging content to work on together and to share demonstrable progress. As a result, my communication as a product leader has improved significantly.”

Gitta was absolutely instrumental in creating and developing my TED talk. She helped me with my confidence, voice expression, body language and character development. I so appreciate that she was available after hours in-between sessions and even helped me find my outfit. I received fantastic feedback saying I’d done the best delivery they had seen in years. Since my TED talk I have received offers for more speaking engagements and many new opportunities are coming my way. I have enormous gratitude for Gitta! I cannot recommend her enough. Whether you are preparing for a Keynote, a TED talk or any other speaking opportunity, hire Gitta- her work pays for itself. Thank you for being such an important to me in such an important time in my life~

“I cannot even describe all of the important things I learned from Gitta, working with her has been truly transformative! One of the things she helped me master was to become an effective speaker on stage. I thought I was a good presenter but when I look at the video of my last presentation I was maybe a 5 versus my last talk after working with Gitta was a 9 or 10. After my last talk there were 30 people lined up and wanting to talk to me. Could not be happier with the work we did!”

“I sought out Gitta because I was looking for a coach who could help me work holistically on my executive presence. With Gitta I found that and much more. I wanted more than simply presentation or career coaching; I hoped to feel and project more confidence, engagement, and professionalism in a warm and authentic way. Gitta is a versatile coach who helped me work on everything from identifying and articulating my values to speaking with authority and calming nerves to determining my professional goals and managing impatience. Her coaching has changed my relationship with myself and with my work for the better. I would recommend Gitta to anyone looking to lead a more thoughtful and engaged life.”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Gitta through an ongoing coaching engagement for my engineering team, and she has consistently delivered exceptional value. Gitta has supported us with both targeted individual coaching and a larger leadership workshop designed specifically for growing the leadership capabilities of individual contributors. She created custom content tailored to our needs, worked closely with us to refine it, and delivered everything on a tight timeline.
What sets Gitta apart is her ability to deeply assess situations and quickly develop actionable plans. Her insights are never one-size-fits-all—they are thoughtful, targeted, and designed for real impact based on the specific situation. The leadership workshop she developed and facilitated was instrumental in preparing us for one of our most successful onsite events to date.
Gitta’s expertise, adaptability, and collaborative approach make her an invaluable partner. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their leadership capabilities or strengthen their team’s effectiveness.”

“Gitta provided me with coaching services through a difficult time navigating coworker relationships. Her sessions with me helped not only process my own emotions, but also shape them into honest but approachable feedback and conversations that dramatically improved tense work relationships. She has an incredible ability to help me feel heard, acknowledge what's real for me, and how to level up my emotional intelligence. I think much of the success of my team's ability to work through gridlock and form a 6 month roadmap can be traced by coaching from Gitta. I would highly recommend working with Gitta for anyone who needs to navigate a difficult work environment!”

“As I was preparing for stepping into a new role, I wanted to hone the craft of public speaking to larger groups. I wanted to come across with authenticity, energy and charisma. Gitta’s coaching style and techniques proved invaluable. I learned to be comfortable in my body, move with confidence and command space. The feedback I’ve gotten since our work is that I’m a ‘natural’. I will recommend Gitta to anyone who wants to take their public speaking to the next level.”
