Hello, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Gina.
I help leaders, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and individuals elevate everything through tailored strategies and bespoke approaches.
You are meant for more. You know this. Maybe you realized it a long time ago, or it’s something you’ve recently recognized.
Whether you’re a leader or entrepreneur, own a small business, or you want to focus on self-improvement, I take a holistic and bespoke approach to identify your needs and create a personalized strategy to enable you to achieve your desired outcome. You are front and center throughout our entire engagement. The work we do is customized for you.
In recent years, our world has changed at a rapid pace. Trends come and go, leaving many believing they need to continually reinvent themselves and their livelihoods. You know you don’t want to live this way. There is emptiness in this chase.
Let’s focus on classic and timeless practices that build a solid foundation for you now and for your future. Your presence, persistence, character, and integrity will fulfill you and those you serve. You grow only if you’re rooted — once you’re rooted, you will rise to new elevations. And when you elevate yourself, you will elevate others — you will elevate everything.
I knew you’d find me, and I’m so honored you’re here.
My approach.
“A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.”

"The proper thing to do is to fit the new to the old, to respect, not to ignore, the past. The hills have been there for a million years; the oak trees for a hundred or more; the apple trees for fifty. If we need to build, the old must govern the new."

Accolades.
"I had the good fortune of hiring Gina Wilkes for a unique role working with key clients at a Pittsburgh-based organization. With her impressive background at companies large and small, she brought deep and thorough knowledge of internal communications and internal marketing that allowed her to quickly understand what clients needed, then offer them expert guidance and hands-on support. She also brought her talents to internal communications for our own colleagues and played a central role in launching the company’s first internal newsletter, which co-workers deeply appreciated. Gina is an exceptional writer and communicator who strives to empathize with her audience so she can craft messages that resonate. Whether dealing with clients or colleagues, she is unfailingly poised, polished, pleasant, and thoughtful. Any team would benefit from Gina’s depth of experience, good judgment, collaborative spirit and drive for excellence in everything she does."
Christine Vorce Zapinski, content marketing leader, strategist, and storyteller
"Gina is the consummate professional. Gina joined our team in a time of transition, assuming the role of Director of Marketing, where we had previously struggled. Gina quickly assessed our gaps and established a strategy and detailed plan to execute. This included leading our efforts around social media, website development, print material, trade shows, seminars, and client presentations. Key to our success was Gina's writing and editing skills. This was proven by the number of published articles and speaking engagements we secured. Gina's fingerprints are still a part of our marketing efforts. I highly recommend her, as she will prove to be an invaluable asset."

“Restore 22 is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a relaxing, informal environment for military veterans to connect with each other and with resources that can enhance their quality of life. When we launched in 2022, we wanted to add programs that would help facilitate this mission.
With a heart for giving back to those who served our country, Gina contacted us to offer her services as a yoga instructor. Immediately in our first conversation, her compassion and concern for our veterans were revealed. I was especially impressed that she had received training from Warriors at Ease, which equipped her with the unique knowledge and skills necessary to effectively teach the military community.
With Gina's help, we developed our monthly Yoga Stand Down program for anyone who ever served in the U.S. military. Gina works beautifully with the veterans. She understands that practicing yoga is often a new experience for them, and that they each have different physical abilities and varied states of mental health. As such, she is always prepared to offer alternatives for each pose and meditation. She can quickly assess the participants and tailor the class as needed.
Furthermore, Gina's calm presence and sweet nature is comforting to our veteran participants. First-time attendees are often nervous as they're unsure of what to expect. Gina is very good at explaining what's coming next in the class and how it helps the participant.
Gina is highly knowledgeable about the practice and teaching of yoga and extremely professional. As an added bonus, we value her communications experience in helping to formally describe and market our program. We've been partnering with Gina for about a year, and I have the strongest confidence in recommending her services.
Christine Ree, Executive Director, Restore 22
"I would like to share my gratitude for the work and calling Gina has done so passionately. Her excellence, professionalism, skill, dedication in communication, and deeply personal touch has impacted the many clients we serve. When I consider, especially, the client experience, I know those we serve felt very well cared for by Gina’s attention to many important details — she was at the heart of their experience of "silk glove" customer care. Beyond her work, Gina has been a true colleague for whom I am deeply grateful. When I think of her, the words that come to mind are grace, professionalism, warmth, class, and excellence. Thank you for your tremendous service, Gina!”
John Stahl-Wert, Founder and CEO, Center for Serving Leadership
“My book, Lead Your Adventure, needed editing, and Gina provided fast and very professional work. I didn’t want my book to be unprofessional or distracting with errors. She took immediate control of all the editing. It was very easy and stress free for me. Once she had the copy, she provided me with all of the edits and reasons for any changes she made. Gina handled all of that in a very timely manner. For the product she provided, the price was invaluable. Honestly, I was looking for peace of mind, and that’s exactly what I received from Gina and her work. The biggest thing I learned was to let a professional handle these things. Something that would have taken me countless hours and cost my focus and productivity on other projects was simple and quick with Gina. Gina is a PRO! She is very easy to communicate with and knows exactly what she is doing. There was never a time in the whole process that I was left in the dark or didn’t understand why she made the changes she made. I have a new respect for her and her work. She made this job look easy and will be the only person I use from this point forward. I will be using her again for all my editing! Thank you, Gina, for helping me make my dream of writing a book come true!”
