About The Course

“Discover Your Secret Sauce” was created for entrepreneurs who want to differentiate themselves from the competition in their industry. Your Secret Sauce is your Recipe for Success! Learn how to:   

  • Get clear on what makes YOU special and showcase why someone should hire you or purchase your products over all others.  Discover why your uniqueness effects your ability to command premium pricing.
  • Create a fun, unique elevator pitch, designed around your “signature food” – which will set you apart from the rest.  
  • Streamline your efforts if you're running multiple businesses and connect them into one synergistic brand.


Uncovering and pulling out everything that makes you unique needs to happen before you can begin to convey your brand and your message to your customers. If you are a business owner, you ARE your brand. Brand differentiation is not only critical from a marketing perspective, but it also has far-reaching business implications.  

All brands need to establish a compelling and unique position to resonate with their customers. A personalized customer experience is the basis for your success – and that experience starts with you!

What Clients Are Saying

Rachel Schemmerling

Holistic Wellness Interior Design Consultant, Timeless Living Designs

Gina is amazing! She helped me whip my business into shape in a short period of time. Gina is easy to work with but bold enough to keep you accountable. I have very much enjoyed working with her! The best decision I've ever made was to work with her!

Claudia Dunsmore

Loan Officer, Movement Mortgage

Gina is a dynamic and engaging speaker. She has spoken several times to our Women's Networking Group and shares valued content thru her presentation. Her energy and honest approach is a welcome breath of fresh air! I would have Gina present to our group on many topics, time management being one of my favorites. Highly recommend her as a speaker and business coach, you will not be disappointed. 5 Stars!

Naomi Rafalowicz

Professional Life Transitions Coach, Mind Spirit Coaching

Gina Johnson was the perfect business coach for me at the perfect time. After almost a year of procrastination and avoidance, Gina supported me in achieving my business goals. Gina kept me on track and asked me the difficult questions. She helped me explore limiting beliefs that were holding me back. Gina shared her many years of marketing and business experience in order to move me forward. She held me accountable and together we set deadlines, specific commitments and tasks that moved my business forward and created in me a renewed confidence and authenticity as a Professional Coach and CEO! Gina openly shared resources and tools that supported me in my business. Gina's high level of knowledge, enthusiasm and accountability was just what I needed.

Sarah Robinette Michaels

Vocal Coach, The Voice Studio

I've always been a list maker. I'll even do the A- most important, B- next important and so on! I used to think I worked in good, healthy organized chaos, but a few years ago I started working with a business coach (who was also a friend) and things stepped up! Over the past few years, she has helped me find inventive and thoughtful ways to balance my music business with my freelance businesses/work and still create a little time left over for me. If you are looking for a new way to successfully navigate your work, family or business, I highly recommend Gina Johnson

Jaime Sternberg

Trademark Attorney

I hired Gina to help give my business development a boost. Gina got me out of my box in terms of social media and networking. During most of my career as an attorney I had focused on doing the work rather than developing a business. For example, before working with Gina, I barely used LinkedIn and did not appreciate its power. Now I confidently post on a regular basis and I enjoy learning about this platform and its potential. This new appreciation has generated leads. Gina’s network in the Hartford area is expansive. She connected me with people who have helped me grow my business. Gina also advised me on the networking opportunities that could be useful for my business and ones that would not be useful. Gina is very responsive, she’s a great cheerleader, and she holds you accountable. Since I started working with Gina over the last several months, I’ve also observed her own business thrive and grow.
