"Your Strategy Reset is where high-achieving women come to exhale the weight of expectations and inhale the power of clarity. It’s the reset you didn’t know you needed."

"True success isn't found in doing more; it's found in aligning with who you truly are. Your Strategy Reset is your permission to step away from the noise and step into your power."

Why Your Strategy Reset?

Gia Lacqua is the strategist behind some of today’s most powerful personal breakthroughs. A former Fortune 100 Vice President turned Chief Empowerment Officer of elivate, Gia is a trauma-informed empowerment coach, speaker, researcher, and author who helps high-achieving women who’ve outgrown who they had to be, step into who they’re meant to be—so they can lead with clarity, confidence, and authentic power. Through her proprietary frameworks, rooted in neuroscience, trauma-informed practices, and two decades of executive leadership, Gia guides women to close the “Truth Gap”: the space between the life they’re living and the one they’re meant for.
Before founding elivate, Gia spent nearly 20 years in the biopharmaceutical industry, where she rose to Vice President while navigating competing demands of career and family. But even as she performed successfully at the highest levels, she felt the disconnect—the cost of living by expectation instead of authentic power. Personal and professional catalysts converged, sparking a healing journey that revealed what was possible when she stopped performing strength and success, and started embodying it. Gia transformed those lessons into a movement—one that empowers women to surface what they’ve been taught to suppress, trust it without fear or guilt, and turn it into decisive, aligned action, from the boardroom to the bedroom. Today, she blends research-backed coaching, lived experience, and bold leadership to help women shift from performance-driven success to purpose-driven self-leadership.
Gia’s insights are regularly featured in Forbes, Newsweek, Thrive Global, Scary Mommy, and WorkLife, and she is a proud member of the Forbes Coaches Council. She is also a sought-after podcast guest and the host of her own show, where she shares conversations on empowerment, leadership, and the truth-telling strategies that redefine success. Beyond her coaching and speaking work, she is the author of the children’s book series Limitless Little Leaders and the forthcoming book PowerShift.
Deeply committed to advancing women’s leadership, Gia serves as First Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey, where she helps inspire the next generation of girls to lead with courage, confidence, and character. She holds a BS in Human Development, is a Professional Certified Coach, a Trauma-Informed Certified Coach, and a Certified Neurological Fitness™ Trainer.
At her core, Gia is unapologetic, bold, and purpose-driven. Her philosophy is simple yet profound: real power isn’t built by doing it all—it’s claimed the moment you stop leading from expectation and start leading from truth. Her mission is clear: to help women stop performing success and start embodying it, redefining what impact looks like when it’s led from within.

If your life was a movie, what would it be titled?
Caffeine, Confidence, and Chaos: WHY do I always have 48 tabs open at once?
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Law & order: SVU Marathons

Healing. There’s something deeply fulfilling about supporting someone as they reconnect with their true self.

Coffee, connection, and a good laugh. Preferably all at the same time.
Favorite thing about working with high-impact women?
That moment when they realize their inherent worth and recognize that they are already enough, just as they are. That moment is pure magic.
Why Your Strategy Reset?
Your Strategy Reset is more than a concept; it’s a movement. It’s about stepping off the hamster wheel of “never enough” and into a life where what you do reflects who you are and what truly matters to you. This represents everything I wish I’d known during my own journey—and everything I want to share with you now.
This isn’t just another conference—it’s the permission slip you didn’t even know you needed. It’s your chance to pause, recalibrate, and reconnect with the version of you that’s been longing to break free.
If you're feeling the tension of the roles, routines, and expectations —it might be because you're craving alignment.
The thought of you staying stuck—busy yet unfulfilled, playing defense while your dreams, desires, and purpose remain sidelined—feels unbearable when a solution exists. Your Strategy Reset is that solution. This is your invitation to redefine your priorities, claim your worth, and set a strategy for this chapter of your life. Your Strategy Reset is your opportunity to shed what no longer serves you and step boldly into the space you’re meant to inhabit.
The heart behind our mission
Step Out of the Busyness and Into
Because a woman aligned with her values, living her unique definition of success, is a force to be reckoned with— a gift to the world, a fierce source of inspiration, joy, and impact.
