“Inspirational, encouraging and real,” that’s what audiences and readers across the country have to say about Gigi Schweikert. Known for her humor and practical messages, Gigi is a popular speaker for conferences, corporations, women’s events, parenting seminars and churches. Gigi is a national expert on Christian parenting, early childhood education, and employee/volunteer supervision and team-building.

Gigi’s latest books include, There’s a Perfect Angel in Every Child, Holding the World by the Hand, I’m a Good Mother, for the not-so-perfect Mom, and God, God what do You See?

As a busy mom, Gigi admits she’s served orange soda to her family for breakfast trying to pass it off as orange juice. Oh, well! Besides making breakfast, Gigi has directed the United Nations Early Childhood Program in New York City and developed the Johnson & Johnson System of Family Centers. Her other clients include Prudential, Community Bible Study International, Bank of America, Merck, IBM, Genentech and SC Johnson Wax.

Gigi also hosted the television show, “Today’s Family.” She’s a frequent radio and television guest appearing on Real Life, Newsmakers, and Cross Talk.

When Gigi’s not in front of the computer writing, she’s behind the wheel of a mini-van carting around her four kids. Although originally from North Carolina, Gigi lives in New Jersey with her husband, children and three dogs.
