Gina DeLapa (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ginadelapa/) is the president of Thriving Cultures LLC and the author of Thriving at Work: Make Your Mark, Lead With Confidence, Stomp Out Drama, Get Home by 6:00. As a university career counselor, Gina DeLapa noticed an unsettling trend: The university was helping graduates get jobs, but not preparing them to succeed once on the job. Gina left the university, became certified as a corporate etiquette consultant from the prestigious Protocol School of Washington in Washington, DC and began helping companies teach professional etiquette to new college hires. She has since expanded her reach to help companies create thriving cultures at every level, from college intern to CEO. When every team member works from a leadership mindset, performance increases, drama decreases, and culture becomes a competitive advantage. As a speaker, trainer and coach, Gina has successfully taught both the mindset of leadership and the skillset. Known for her ability to connect with audiences at every level, Gina has inspired audiences nationwide, from Moss Adams on the West Coast to Deutsche Bank on Wall Street. For the better part of ten years, Gina also served as a sought-after adjunct faculty member in the graduate counseling program at the University of San Diego, where she earned a master's degree in counseling with an emphasis in career development. Gina credits her parents for putting her to work, starting at age ten, in the family pizza business. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family taught Gina how to see company culture through the dual lens of employer and employee.   Ranked in the Top 15 Personal Development and Self-Improvement Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 Leadership Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/leadership_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 HR Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/hr_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 Talent Management Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/talent_management_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 10 Performance Management Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/performance_management_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 10 Workplace Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/workplace_podcasts/
