IGNITE CULTURE
ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT FROM THE INSIDE OUT
“What a great event! The room was buzzing with positive energy after the presentation and the morning continued to flow from it!”
- CEO, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SANTA CRUZ
Imagine anticipating the moment instead of chasing it. In this fastpaced world we live in, with the onset of digital transformation, people in organizations are experiencing unprecedented amounts of stress and friction that exacerbate widespread breakdowns and challenges. Employee engagement is down and employee turnover is up. Systemic mistrust and a lack of communication and execution are pervasive – all combining to create high levels of burnout, overwhelm, and disconnection in members of the workforce. What would be possible if all that energy was positively pointed in the direction of innovation and people naturally collaborated in service of a cause they all believed in and were willing to set aside their ego for. In today's dynamic hyper competitive marketplace, employee, team, and organizational alignment is the answer for meeting the moment and elevating as a market leader. After experiencing this keynote, both leaders and employees leave with a renewed perspective, attitude, and framework toward their role, their impact, and how they can elevate their team and drive results in service of unified commitments.

Gabriela Vila is a Financial Coach, innovation strategist, and founder of FiNomad operating under the brand Finanzas Nómadas. She helps professionals and freelancers take control of their finances and embrace bold transitions — like changing careers, becoming location-independent, or starting a business — with clarity, structure, and peace of mind. Gabriela holds a degree in Chemical and Food Engineering, an MBA, and a Master’s in Financial Freedom. For over 15 years, she worked in corporate leadership roles in multinational companies across Latin America and Europe, leading innovation and transformation strategies in the engineering and construction industry. She has lived in 7 countries and understands firsthand how financial instability can hold people back from designing a life they truly want. Her breakthrough came after a sudden layoff while living abroad, which revealed a painful truth: despite earning a high income, she had no financial safety net. That experience sparked the creation of her signature method: “A Journey to Your Tranquility Fund” — a personalized savings system that becomes your financial safety net, giving you the peace of mind to take bold steps, wherever life takes you.” This 7-step method goes far beyond the traditional emergency fund. It blends mindset, automation, and strategic planning to help individuals — especially women navigating transitions — achieve financial clarity and long-term peace. Through her mentorship programs, online courses, and memberships, Gabriela has helped hundreds of clients across Spanish-speaking countries build their Tranquility Fund, reduce money-related anxiety, and start investing confidently — even with irregular income. She is also a speaker and podcast guest on topics such as financial wellness, emotional money mindset, and digital nomadism. When she’s not coaching, Gabriela travels with her dogs and lives the freedom-focused lifestyle she teaches — proving that true financial empowerment starts with structure, not just income.

I am a spiritual mentor and transformational leadership coach. During my journey through law school and working at prestigious firms, I witnessed firsthand how the field of law often fails to help others or create meaningful change in other’s lives.

Now, as founder and CEO of Alyan Mentoring Group™, I combine my legal knowledge, psychology and own spiritual journey to create genuine impact. Through my holistic approach to spiritual awakening, mindfulness coaching, and conscious leadership development, I guide professionals and spiritual seekers to manifest their highest potential. As the visionary behind Spiritual Souls Society™, I've cultivated a transformative community built on three foundational pillars.

Our Personal Growth framework supports individual transformation through adaptability, creativity, wisdom, and emotional intelligence. Through transformational coaching and mindful mentoring, I nurture and inspire lasting change, helping others discover their authentic path to spiritual and professional excellence.
