Testimonials

"Gilda Bonanno’s webinar on Executive Presence for Leaders was truly invaluable. Gilda herself is an example of a great communicator, and her webinar had excellent content that was organized and enjoyable. The session was well paced and easy to follow, and I would highly recommend Gilda for any communication training."

“The exercises were fun and interactive while still delivering a very important message. And Thank you for your time and energy in, once again, delivering a top notch presentation & If there ever is a time I can recommend you and your incredible ability to speak to, train and motivate a group, please feel free to have your client contact me.”
Nancy Margiano-Sylvester
Vice President, Director of Organizational Development and Recruitment

"I was privileged to have Gilda coach me on how to articulate my thoughts and ideas while I was preparing to give a presentation for my interview with prospective employers. Right after my first mock interview with her, I was humbled. Bear in mind, I already had 30 years of technology and leadership experience. I realized the simple truth as in “it is not just what you know, but how you say it.”
She immediately picked up on things and gave me not just feedback but also how it should be done. She showed how I can be authentic and yet impress the interview panel. I ended up landing a leadership role, a month after. If I said I got this job on my own technical prowess and experience, it would be an injustice. I’m looking forward to practicing your insights and simple tactics in my new job. Thank you to Gilda!"

"Gilda’s presentation was not only useful but fun. Although attendees in the audience were from diverse industries, Gilda used numerous examples throughout the presentation to make her points valid for all situations. Everyone can benefit from Gilda’s tips on developing Leadership. Her style is engaging and interactive and you leave with additional motivation and the knowledge that you can improve and put her guidance to use immediately. I recommend Gilda highly."

“If you want a good presentation and you need to start from zero, get Gilda as your coach. She talks you through it, gets you into the process and helps you see the LIGHT. As I begin my fourth semester of Columbia University›s Master›s program, I still get butterflies, but I know I can get through it by engaging in the process of learning how to do things the right way and getting better at them. Practice, practice, practice - that was the key that Gilda taught me.”

"Gilda was fabulous! Lots of great facts and funny, memorable delivery. Even though the presentation was virtual, it was just as effective! Definitely the highlight of the day and presentations."
Diane Nazarko, AIA

“Gilda was a great resource in developing my presentation skills. She simplifies things so that they can easily be remembered and implemented. Not only that, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking for an organized, honest coach, look no further. You will see results!”
