Move (Paperback or Softback)

Windy Elstermeier's fittingly titled Move guides readers through the mental roadblocks standing in the way of their personal and professional ambitions in this raw disclosure of her resilient path from poverty to the boardroom. Windy details the trials of her impoverished childhood and how she championed herself through crushing career setbacks to climb the corporate ladder at a Fortune 500 retail giant and into entrepreneurship.

Move is not your typical self-help guide or career development story. Windy holds nothing back as she details everything from her greatest successes to her battles with unspeakable negative self-talk. This inspiring read shares tactical steps to battle toxic emotions and embrace fear and failure, opening opportunities for a more fulfilling future. Move is required reading for anyone looking to get unstuck.

They say 40 is the new 20 and I am living my best life!I had an incredible career with a Fortune 500 company that raised me from an hourly associate into an amazing businesswoman. I went on to develop a variety of formats and emerging markets in over 800 locations across the U.S. I have had the opportunity to help grow amazing talent and support others while they grew bigger than they ever dreamed.I have a strong moral compass and strive for long, prosperous relationships. I love what I do whether it is meeting new people, pioneering a company project, traveling with my family, or drinking my morning coffee. Oh, and I'm most proud that I have taught both of my children how to save money and be great cooks (My son makes incredible lasagna).My company, Pivotal Solutions LLC, works to inspire and motivate others to be powerful in their own space. As a business coach, I work with people where they are, figure out what they need, and show up prepared to add value to their lives.I am also writing a book to help inspire and motivate others to get out of their own way and achieve their dreams.I am so grateful to have a wonderful family.My husband and I have two adult daughters and a college-bound son.
