Nice to meet you!

Hello! I'm Janelle Abela, CEO & Growth Strategist

As a former K-12 teacher and sports coach, I learned early on that a strong sense of identity can make or break a team’s success. My time leading non-profit youth groups at Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Girl Scouts reinforced one key lesson: real transformation begins when you meet individuals where they are and give them the tools, guidance, and confidence to get where you need them to be. Translating these classroom and coaching insights into professional development soon showed me that building cohesive, high-performing teams goes way beyond the world of education.

I work with a wide range of industries – healthcare, manufacturing, finance, law enforcement, professional athletics, nonprofits, and more – on everything from strategic planning to hands-on workshops and keynote speaking. Collaborating with a wide range of organizations has given me a 360° perspective on how to nurture authentic, sustainable growth for people in all environments.

I’m driven by one simple truth: real change doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be grounded in everyday realities. That’s why I translate academic findings into clear, relatable strategies that teams can actually use. My first move is always understanding where individuals stand and how to best support their journey. When that foundation is set, the rest – innovation, leadership, and high-impact performance – naturally follows.
