Stacy Braiuca
My name is Stacy Braiuca, the Change Navigator™ Squirrel Wrangler™, & Technology Therapist™.
Ambitious, dedicated leaders hire me to guide them to create connections, congruencies, and change to envision their future memories because most are disconnected, inauthentic, and terrified of change.
So I bring 30 years of experience in change, a full atlas of tools, and a herd of squirrels to guide them to maximize Connections, become Congruent, and enjoy Change.
Bottom line… if you don’t remember your tomorrow, you will not have the right formula and miss out on your today.
