Gigi attended Shareunion and conducted a session entitled Relationship Disconnect and Reconnection for NICU Couples to an audience of approximately 60 people. She was incredible and was the first to receive a standing ovation in the eight years of this gathering. Her sensitive, engaging style enabled audience members to share deeply troubling and difficult aspects of their relationships and themselves, and with Gigi’s help, to identify potential solutions.

At Prolacta, our mission to positively impact the outcomes of preterm infant lives is tantamount to everything we do. Every decision that is made is made in terms of what is best for babies. I often say there are mission-driven companies and then there is Prolacta. We take it to the next level. As such, it was important to me that when considering outside consultants for the Women's Leadership Development Academy (WLDA) that the individual not only be an effective coach who could bring real world leadership and wellness support to the incredible women that make up the WLDA, but also to really be able to understand how everything we do at Prolacta ties back to the babies we serve. Gigi is all of that and so much more. She brought to our organization the tools we needed to gain better perspective of how, as women, we could empower ourselves and each other to propel ourselves forward both as women and as an organization. It is my hope that one day soon we can continue this work in person if only so that I may be the recipient of a world-famous Gigi hug.

Our May event was hosted by the wonderful Gigi a professional performance coach and founder of Families Blossoming. Gigi started the lunchtime session by casting us away on to an island of our choice, one by one each island disappeared, and an alternative had to be selected. This exercise highlighted to us that our first choices tend to be familiarity and that many of us feel uncomfortable in an unfamiliar place. The session continued with discussion, facilitated by exercises, on our voice, what we define as our voice and when we feel comfortable and not so comfortable to use it, we considered what are the factors that make these situations difference. Gigi finished the session with 3 strategies for us to take away and apply in our own time and space. [….] The session was practical, relevant and empowering.
