Testimonials

“Gio is full of wisdom! His facilitation style is a beautiful balance of joy, knowledge building, and community building that leads to action and deep thinking. He knows how to facilitate diverse groups and is adept at pivoting in the moment in the best possible way to accommodate different needs. His background as an educator is visible with his strong communication skills, clear directions, and interactive session structures. He also has a sharp intersectional lens that really pushes the discussion. I can't recommend more highly!”

“Truly appreciate the work and time Gio puts into the DEIB professional development. It allows me to be self reflective, acknowledge myself and the space I hold and take. These are the conversations that support and encourage me to grow as an educator and person as a whole. 10/10 every time!”

“Gio knows how to connect with you and also challenge you to grow and develop as a leader. He has the perfect toolkit for you to develop the skills needed for self-reflection and building relationships with others.”

"Gio was absolutely amazing, and I can’t express enough how much this session meant to me. The way he challenged us to connect our personal values to our work really struck a chord. The conversation around healthy vs. unhealthy conflict, and how we were held accountable growing up, really got me thinking about my own journey. These aren’t just concepts for the workplace—they’re things we can carry with us in every aspect of our lives, and that is so rare and precious."

“Gio has a remarkable ability to challenge and support leadership teams in meaningful ways. He doesn’t just introduce DEI concepts—he helps leaders internalize them, connect them to their personal values, and implement them effectively in their leadership. His facilitation style is engaging and deeply reflective. This approach has helped us create a space for our staff where they can grow both personally and professionally.”
