Speaking coach
"Worked with Gina to prepare an 8 min TED Talk style key note speech.
Gina played a crucial role in my preparation and execution. Finding and fine-tuning the words that were me. Inspiring and making me feel comfortable on stage during the rehearsals and actual execution. And giving me a lot of tips and tricks of the trade as we progressed.
We spent many hours discussing, preparing, rehearsing but as well laughing. Can only congratulate Gina's future collaborators! You will be successful!"
- Anders Gustafsson, Strategy & Innovation Director
TEDx speaker
"Gina Balarin has spoken at our organisation many times, and each time she leaves the audience feeling happier and more inspired than before they heard her.
I have no hesitation in recommending her for professional speaking opportunities, as she has proven herself, time and again, to be a credible, powerful and persuasive speaker with a thorough grasp of marketing, business and how to motivate teams, leaders and customers alike.
She brings the human element into business thinking that makes her ideas so much more compelling."
- Paul Taylor, CEO of a Software Company

Communication Coach
"Gina's coaching was instrumental in elevating the way I engage senior executive audiences. Whether delivering keynotes, facilitating sessions, or speaking at roundtables, she helped me refine my message, structure my narrative, and communicate with clarity and confidence. I was regularly presenting to CFOs, CIOs, CPOs, and GMs of Merchandising and Gina ensured my delivery was impactful, authentic, and aligned to the needs of each audience. Her ability to balance strategic insight with practical feedback made the experience both valuable and rewarding. I'd highly recommend working with Gina to anyone looking to strengthen their executive communicationg."
