Better Thinking Leads to Better Outcomes
With continual change as the new normal, expertise and hard work are no longer a guarantee of success. The ability to adapt and respond to shifting dynamics and pressure with intention, rather than to react, is a meaningful differentiator. Coaching creates the space to step out of the immediate and access the perspective and strategies that positively influence outcomes.
Clients are people and firms in the business of solving complex problems who value a thinking partner able to quickly understand their work and goals. They are often stepping into greater leadership roles, recognizing a needed mindset shift, or facing an important decision or transition. For many clients, coaching strengthens the capacity to continually bring their best thinking, judgment, and performance to the work they do.

Three to six month engagements supporting professionals taking on increased responsibility and visibility, pursuing an ambitious goal, or navigating a complicated challenge or conflict
For over twenty-five years, Gianna has been a trusted advisor and coach to professionals and leaders at times of significant challenge and opportunity. Her early career was spent as an employment attorney, then as a mediator, working on high-stakes and often emotionally charged legal disputes. Most recently, Gianna worked as an executive and leadership coach in an AmLaw 50 firm coaching hundreds of high-performing lawyers.
Gianna's coaching approach is solutions-oriented, grounded in neuroscience, and focused on strengthening clients' mental performance under pressure, or their "inner game." In countless work situations, clients have seen the benefits of accessing clearer thinking, different mindsets, and more intentional, strategic actions. The results have been promotions, greater presence and influence, sharper decision-making, improved communication with their teams and colleagues, and more ease with the demands of work. Clients say they value Gianna's calm demeanor, nonjudgement, and her ability to connect hidden dots and ask a great question.
