With a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from University College London and a Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching from Henley Business School, I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and practical expertise to leadership development. As the Co-founder of Adaptable Minds and an Innovation & Impact Fellow at the Behavioral AI Institute, I specialize in translating cutting-edge behavioral science into actionable strategies for leaders. My experience includes creating award-winning coaching methodologies and leading high-performing teams at organizations like MindGym and Influence at Work.

Let's connect to explore how I can support your leadership journey!

Through out my career at IBM, and as I transitioned from individual contributor roles to people management roles, I attended comprehensive management training and received certifications at IBM, that enable me to support the growth of my team members and their growth. In addition, I learned the techniques and methodologies to be an effective leader whether to the team I manage or to lead without authority to the extended teams that I manage via the programs I lead. Leading and influencing without authority is an art and a science. I received various leadership and management awards because of my passion to support team members and be a servant leader. I can help you in your growth journey to be an effective leader.

I have over a decade of experience in strategic partnerships and leadership roles at top tech companies like Google and Microsoft. I work with individuals seeking to grow as product, business, and people leaders, and partner with you to maximize your impact.

With over 24 years in the Supply Chain Corporate world, including 16 years in leadership roles, I bring a wealth of experience in coaching, mentoring, and guiding teams to success. Alongside this, I’ve spent more than a decade immersed in spiritual and self-development practices, blending corporate expertise with deep personal growth methodologies. My qualifications include: a degree in Mathematics and an MBA, Certified Transformational Coach, Corporate " Train the Trainer", Expertise in Energy Work, Breathwork Coach and a Master Practitioner in Hypnosis, Integrative Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and Mental & Emotional Release. This unique combination of strategic leadership and holistic transformation allows me to empower others to align their professional success with personal fulfillment.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in leadership development, I am passionate about helping individuals unlock their full potential. As the CEO and Principal Consultant at Let's Lead Consulting & Coaching, I have guided over 100 clients to enhance their leadership skills and achieve their career goals. My background includes roles such as Global People Experience Coach at McKinsey & Company and People and Organization Manager at Accenture, where I honed my expertise in people development and organizational strategy. Whether you're looking to refine your leadership style or navigate complex organizational challenges, I'm here to support your journey. Let's connect and create a tailored plan for your success!

I'm Gia Lacqua, a Leadership Behavior Strategist who helps high-performing leaders uncover the invisible strategies driving their decisions, leadership, and success, and redesign the ones that no longer serve them. A former Fortune 100 Vice President with more than 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry, including 12 in leadership, I combine real-world executive experience with a neuroscience-informed understanding of behavior. That combination is what lets me find the unconscious patterns shaping how clients think, lead, communicate, and decide under pressure — patterns most coaching never reaches. My work is grounded in one belief: every successful person is running a personal strategy, whether they designed it or inherited it. The behaviors that once fueled achievement often become the exact liabilities driving burnout, overfunctioning, and indecision. I help leaders see the strategy underneath the symptom, then rebuild it intentionally — aligned with who they are now, not who they had to be to get here. I'm a Forbes Coaches Council member, award-winning author of PowerShift, and host of the What The Shift podcast — known for translating complex human behavior into practical strategy that produces measurable change in leadership, performance, and life.

With a robust background in team effectiveness, organizational development, and working hands on with teams at al levels to drive change, I've partnered with leaders to help them develop the skills needed to succeed at the next level, design and implement programs to achieve previously impossible goals (for individuals and groups), and as a thought partner to confront problems that resist resolution. This coaching succeeds because we work together to understand what is actually holding you back at this instant using a combination of design thinking, co-active coaching techniques, and strategic problem solving methodologies. In addition to years of professional experience, I completed a year long leadership and change coaching certificate at Northwestern University as part of my MS in Learning & Organizational Change. Let's work together to unlock your leadership potential and drive impactful change in your organization. Reach out to start your journey!

This leadership coaching engagement is designed for senior professionals who want to strengthen executive presence, strategic communication, and influence in higher-stakes environments. You may be preparing for senior leadership visibility, leading cross-functional work, managing difficult stakeholders, navigating conflicts, communicating with executives, or moving from expert/operator credibility into broader enterprise leadership. Together, we will work with the real leadership situations you are facing — not generic hypotheticals. That may include preparing for a high-stakes meeting, strengthening how you frame decisions, communicating trade-offs, building trust with senior stakeholders, navigating ambiguity, or practicing leading with authority and authenticity under pressure. As an MCC executive coach, I bring a confidential, rigorous, and human-centered coaching approach. My background spans Fortune 100 innovation, organizational transformation, people systems, executive coaching, team coaching, board service, and business building. I have coached 750+ clients across 30+ industries and globally distributed client groups.
