"Giovanna has been instrumental in helping me find my way through a period of significant change and opportunity. Her coaching sessions provided the forum for me to explore what might be holding me back from fulfilling my potential and to identify areas in which to grow and develop. I was impressed by Giovanna’s professionalism and perception. She was very engaged and took cues from me, probing and asking searching questions. She recalled details and comments from previous sessions which helped build trust and develop our coaching relationship."

"Giovanna managed to create a safe atmosphere for my very personal topics in the consulting sessions within a very short time.Her 18 years of professional experience in the corporate working world are also a very good starting point for consulting in the current globalised and often multicultural working world.
During the coaching, she also has a very good sense for finding the parallels between the current situation from the past (professional as well as private),with her questioning technique and thus work on the topic holistically.
She brings in her coaching treasure chest numerous exercises and (later solution approaches),which have supported me helpfully in the course of the coaching process."

"I had the pleasure of working with Giovanna as my executive assistant coach, and I am incredibly grateful for the invaluable support she provided. Her guidance played a pivotal role in helping me enhance my professional skills in two key areas: networking and approaching people, and detaching emotionally from work.
Giovanna's accessibility and innate understanding of people and their circumstances were remarkable. With her deep understanding, she effortlessly grasped the bigger picture of my challenges and provided me with the perfect words that I sometimes struggled to find myself. Importantly, she never imposed her assumptions onto me but rather approached our conversations with a gentle and inquisitive demeanour, aiming to uncover the core of the issue.
Giovanna has an unwavering presence during the sessions. From the moment we started, I felt like I had her undivided attention. She remembered and referenced comments I had made in previous sessions, which created a sense of continuity and trust. Giovanna provided me with practical strategies and techniques that boosted my confidence and enabled me to establish meaningful connections.
Her ability to understand, communicate effectively, and maintain a genuine connection is truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an executive assistant coach who can help them thrive in their role and achieve personal and professional growth."

"I had the incredible opportunity to work with Giovanna recently, and have her as a business coach partner. That's how I would define my experience working with her. I can confidently say that it was a game-changer for me (on a personal level) and for my project. From the very first session, Giovanna demonstrated a genuine interest in my business model, listened carefully to my concerns and made relevant questions. But also, Giovanna showed an exceptional understanding of the challenges I was facing and might face once the product is live.
Her in-depth ability to listen, ask thoughtful-challenging questions, and provide valuable insights was truly remarkable to me. What impressed me the most was her empathetic and non judgemental approach.Last but not least, Giovanna didn't just offer generic professional advice; instead, she really took the time to understand my business model intricately and provided homework assignments, guidance, which were specifically crafted to address my unique needs.
Through this coaching relationship, I gained a newfound clarity about my business goals or even, about business blockers, fears, struggles - and through her sessions I discovered ways to overcome hurdles. It goes without saying that the emotional support and encouragement I received were invaluable. Really. Building a business can definitely be an isolating experience, especially as a Solopreneur, Trans and Queer BIPOC living in Germany. But having a well trained (both professionally and intellectually) business coach by my side made all the difference.I am beyond thrilled with the results I have achieved through business coaching. Thank you, Giovanna, for being a guiding light on my challenging and solo entrepreneurial journey."

"Having worked with Giovanna as my former colleague, I can attest to her natural coaching skills. Her finely tuned sensitivity and well-developed antennas for atmosphere and social relations allow her to create insightful analyses and feedback. Her innate empathy and capacity to understand the emotions and perspectives of others make her a naturally born coach. To me it made perfect sense that Giovanna became a certified coach and counselor, as this was already written in the stars. I'm sure word of mouth advertising will make her practice flourish and foster the mental health of many."
