This week on Coffee Monday, Rae sits down with Gia Kazarian, Executive Consultant specializing in Leadership Development. Gia is not only the Founder of Gia Kazarian Consulting, but a speaker, a friend, a wife, a mom to name just a few.

With a background spanning Fortune 500 companies to building her own consultancy here in the Central Valley, Gia and Rae dive into Gia's strengths-based leadership approach, and why focusing on ability, motivation, and environment can unlock growth at any age.

Gia tailors her coaching from C-suite executives to now offering a new program for high school students - providing them with tools and best practices to level up their life skills as they navigate higher education and #adulting decisions. From how to make a strong first impression in an interview to what your strengths say about your future, we're discussing it all. Grab your coffee and note pad, this is an episode you won't want to miss!
