Our very first event of 2026- Breakfast Conversations marked a strong and encouraging beginning. With a full house and several first-time attendees, the session reflected both interest and openness within the community.

Giada Ferrari shared her personal and professional journey with honesty and clarity — from her corporate career in Germany to relocating to China, navigating major career changes, and rebuilding herself as an entrepreneur from scratch. She spoke openly about starting over and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset during times of transition.

Her story connected strongly with the audience and inspired many who are going through similar career changes or uncertain phases. Key takeaways from the session included the importance of growing both social and professional networks, understanding personal strengths, and using them to move forward with confidence.

We would also like to thank our venue partner, Kicking Beans, for hosting us and for serving great coffee and bread, which created a warm and welcoming setting for the morning.

Overall, the session set the tone for what Breakfast Conversations aims to be: practical, open discussions grounded in real experiences and shared learning.
