"Gilda is one of the best emcees and facilitators that I have had the pleasure to work with. She brings professionalism, relatability, and approachability to her work. Gilda was instrumental during our organization’s largest signature event of the year, where we attracted donors, elected officials, board members, volunteers, and other key stakeholders. Gilda’s expertise enabled us to drive donations during the live fundraising portion of the event in a much more succinct way than it had been done in prior years. We would love to continue working with Gilda in the coming years, because she brings so much knowledge of what it takes to run a successful event - from planning the run-of-show, scripting and rehearsing speeches, and having familiarity with a wide range of venues."

"Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with Gilda to prepare for a number of high-stakes presentations—both personal and professional. Her coaching has been a game-changer, consistently helping me sharpen my messages, connect more effectively with my audience, and present with greater confidence. She is incredibly easy to work with, insightful, and always manage to bring out the best in me. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to bring Gilda in to work with members of my team, and her influence has been equally valuable there. Her guidance has made a significant impact on our team's ability to communicate and perform at a higher level. We have also invited Gilda to speak at our internal leadership events, and she never fails to deliver with insight and energy."

"Gilda did a fantastic job at making the audience think about what is important to them, and how life is too short (~28,000 days) to delay goals. I highly recommend that you hire Gilda as a speaker."

"I've seen Gilda in action both as a featured speaker and event emcee and she is top notch! Whether she is serving as a dynamic emcee at a large, live event or sharing communication skills strategies in a virtual classroom with university students, she exemplifies the public speaking best practices that I've learned in my thirty years as a broadcast journalist. Her expertise is matched by her energy and ability to engage an audience. I highly recommend Gilda for your next event!"

"Gilda presented "Finding Your Voice, Making it Matter" for our training.  She shared practical, invaluable suggestions about improving their communication and presentation skills that helped them to create and deliver a clear, concise and compelling message.   The students raved about her so much that we had to bring her back for future workshops. She is so FABULOUS and we are SO lucky to have her as a beloved member of our CSYale faculty!"
