What to expect when working with Ginny:

• Truth telling – be ready to get real

• Laughter – irreverence and silliness will happen

• Solutions – your work will always be driving towards a solution

• Excellence and big thinking – why be average when you can be amazing?!

Ginny’s best clients are:

• Truly ready to change something to get different results and already convinced big things are possible but just not sure how to make them happen

• Honest with themselves and Ginny and take responsibility for themselves

• Emotionally mature and self-reflective

• Probably a little weird or neurodivergent in some way
