"Gilda delivered an excellent and informative program, "Leading and Managing Change and Transformation" (via webinar). Our attendees benefited from her knowledge and appreciated her suggestions of positive actions they can take to lead and deal with change, both as leaders and individuals. Given the rapid pace of change, her content was timely and her focus on the process of transitions was different and helpful. She spoke for us in the past with rave reviews and we were happy to bring her back again. Often webinars can be dry and boring, but Gilda was energetic and responsive to questions, with one attendee calling it 'the pep talk I needed this morning!'"

“It was great to meet you and thanks so much for presenting at the National Speakers Association 2015 Convention! You workshop and your presentation skills were excellent. Yours was one of my favorite workshops. You were fun and engaging and put the audience at ease. You also demonstrated to us how improv exercises can enhance our presentations. And the exercises you led enabled me to make great connections with my two partners. Well done!"

"Keeping volunteers and board members engaged in the work that we do is absolutely essential to the success of our affiliate program. Sometimes people drift. Gilda’s presentation offered clear and concise reasons as to why volunteers may lose their motivation, offered realistic ways to examine expectations, and set a new path for communicating with volunteers in a more positive and productive way. Working with volunteers is important – Gilda shines a light on how we can improve the way we support our volunteers and our own style of engagement in a fun and memorable way. Go Gilda!"

“Gilda is an effective and engaging speaker and trainer. She has presented several workshops for the Women’s Business Development Center over the past three years, including Public Speaking: How to Talk to Strangers, Presenting Your Best Self: Communicating & Advocating for Success, and Grow Your Career With Networking Savvy. Gilda is well organized and prepared for every workshop. She does her homework on fine tuning her presentation for her audience. She is easy to work with and very supportive to participants.



Whether she is helping aspiring women entrepreneurs learn how to speak effectively about their businesses or teaching Hispanic business owners how to network with their colleagues, Gilda provides practical exercises and techniques that empower people to build self-confidence and develop bold communication skills. Gilda cares about her audiences and is able to make a real connection with them. I highly recommend her.”

“I recently attended Gilda’s Bold Presentation Skills and I’m so happy I did! Gilda provided some really great tips on how to utilize story telling within a presentation that I will put into use immediately. I’m looking forward to practicing her “easy-to-implement” insights and guidelines with my next presentation. Thanks Gilda!”

“As someone heading off to my first national conference presentation, I began the coaching journey with a lack of confidence that I truthfully thought I would never overcome. With my experience working with Gilda on Skype and the phone for a few months, not only did I overcome my lack of confidence, but I have learned how to deliver my message powerfully. In the end my presentation was organized and powerful and I was confident and clear. Gilda leaves you with the confidence to expand and leave your comfort zone which is necessary to grow and thrive.”

"Gilda is a pleasure to work with and is an engaging speaker and presenter. From programs on networking and interview best practices, to presentation coaching, Gilda provides practical and easily implementable tips and skills for any marketer. Thank you, Gilda!"

"Gilda is by far one of the most dynamic and entertaining business speakers in this business and everyone needs to hire her, like I have over the years!!!"

"Gilda, you are unbelievably talented and a true pleasure to watch! Thank you for your invaluable insights and sharing your wisdom to us all!"

"Gilda, your presentation at Prairie State was wonderful. You were very engaging and gave wonderful ideas. I loved the fact that you also took the time to answer the many questions posed by other attendees and answered them in depth. I already do walk-thrus, and talk to my team, but your talk will help to make these encounters more in depth and meaningful. Great job!!!!"

"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the seminar that you gave on Mackinaw Island for the MASA Women's Leadership Retreat. I utilized the skills that I learned and my speech to 180 human resource professionals on June 2nd went extremely well! I was able to get my nerves under control and confidence up with my new mantra beforehand and I was prepared (actually practiced, not just studied my deck as I did in the past) and even able to adapt when there was a technical glitch because I was confident and comfortable! Thanks so much for your insight and coaching-it made a tremendous difference!" 

“As the closing keynote speaker for the 2011 Conference of the Southern New England Chapter of PMI, Gilda demonstrated her best practices by showing her confidence, influence and successful methodology for her session on “How Will You Spend Your 28,000 Days?” She provided real life experiences of techniques she has used and provided actions that the attendees could use. It was a very inventive and engrossing presentation.”
