Breakfast Connections | Spotlights Wind In Your Sails Consulting
“
If you could go back to school, what would you study?” This was the theme for the August Breakfast Connections. The attendees wove such a range of spirited responses into their 60 second commercials, it was clear that most had diverged significantly from their 20-something career choices.
The unveiling of Abella’s path to clarity and purpose led to the genesis of her company. As Author, Speaker, and Clarity Coach, Abella inspires others aiming to create a new vision for their lives, reignite their passion, and step into a life of freedom based on their own definition.
Epitomizing the Career Pivot was this month’s sponsor, Stacey Abella. Abella is the CEO and founder of Wind In Your Sails Consulting, prior to which she has had a rich and diverse background, ranging from multinational corporations to the Peace Corps.
Earlier this summer Abella released her bestselling book Secrets From My Travel Diaries: How One Burnt Out Executive Reignited the Adventurer Within. This captivating memoir paints a vivid picture of the author’s soulful journey to the heart of Europe, traversing more than ten countries during her college years in the late ‘90s. Every riveting chapter immerses the reader in a narrative filled with rich experiences, penned on bustling train rides after countless adventures. Secrets From My Travel Diaries: How One Burnt Out Executive Reignited the Adventurer Within is a tale of self-discovery, courage, and the pursuit of dreams once thought unattainable. It’s a testament to the transformational power of travel and introspection, aimed at igniting a spark in readers to reawaken their own adventurer within and inspiring them to reimagine their life’s possibilities. Visit igniteyouradventurer.com to learn more about Stacey L. Abella of Wind In Your Sails Consulting and dive into her bestselling book. Breakfast Connections is the only event that gives you the opportunity to learn about every member business in attendance. We encourage you to join us!
