KEYNOTE SPEAKING & WORKSHOP FACILITATION

Let’s inspire action, spark clarity, and deliver results.

Keynote Speaking

I’m a nationally and internationally recognized voice in career strategy and executive development, and delivered keynote presentations to audiences ranging from Fortune 500 leaders to emerging professionals. My speaking appearances include events hosted by DisruptHR, Lake Grove Job Seekers, 6453 (the Nike Alumni Organization) and the Nike Wing Women community, the Intel Alumni Network, Lake Grove Job Seekers, the International Interior Design Association SW, the National Résumé Writers’ Association, the Career Thought Leaders Consortium, and global corporate, nonprofit, and higher education organizations.

Whether I’m speaking to senior executives, HR leaders, career coaches, or job seekers, I bring a blend of sharp insight, relatable storytelling, and real-world frameworks that move audiences from reflection to action. I’m known for making complex hiring dynamics easy to understand—and for helping people see what’s truly possible in their careers when they own their story and lead with intention.

Let’s create a keynote experience that meets your audience where they are—and leaves them ready to take bold, strategic next steps.

I had the chance to work with Gina Riley this past April at our Arizona Interior Design Student Career Day in Phoenix, and she was fantastic! Her keynote on how to become the RARE candidate in interviews hit exactly the right tone for our audience—aspiring designers getting ready to enter the professional world. It elevated our event to a new level of relevance for the students.

Gina came in prepared, relatable, and totally engaging. She gave students clear, practical strategies they could use right away, and she delivered it all with warmth and energy. I heard from several attendees afterward who said they felt more confident going into interviews because of her talk, and she prepared a thorough handout summarizing key points for the students to take home with them.

If you're looking for a speaker who can connect with your audience, tailor her message to the moment, and leave people feeling empowered, Gina’s your person.

Workshop Facilitation

Do you have a team or audience eager to elevate their confidence, sharpen their strategy, or strengthen their hiring skills? I lead workshops that combine insightful pre-work, relevant content, and interactive activities to spark breakthrough thinking and deliver measurable impact.

The UVP Workshop: Develop Your Unique Value Proposition

In this signature session based on my Career Velocity frameworks and chapters 1-5 of Qualified Isn’t Enough, I guide participants to craft their Unique Value Proposition (UVP)—a clear, confident narrative that highlights their strengths, values, and leadership themes. After completing guided pre-work, participants engage in collaborative exercises using my UVP Scorecard™ and leave with a message they can use across résumés, interviews, networking, and LinkedIn.

Ideal for: career-driven professionals, alumni groups, and leadership development programs.

This interactive session helps teams unlock stronger collaboration and communication through the YouMap® framework. Participants come prepared with their completed profiles and explore how their unique strengths, values, and work styles shape team dynamics.

Ideal for: functional teams, cross-functional collaborations, and leadership retreats.

Designed for students, job seekers, or professionals in transition, this workshop teaches how to confidently approach interviews, deliver compelling behavioral responses, and connect your story to what hiring managers really care about.

Ideal for: career services, alumni associations, and workforce development programs.

Through my partnership with Talence Group Executive Search, I deliver practical and inclusive training for internal hiring teams. We cover how to ask great questions, assess talent beyond the résumé, and align hiring practices with your organization’s values.

Ideal for: hiring managers, HR professionals, and organizations committed to skills-based hiring.
