A Florida
resident, originally from the sleepy woods of Connecticut, Paula now creates
from the nostalgic waters of Charleston, SC
always on route to launch yet another innovative concept to inspire high
performance. She is legendary for creating out of the box solutions for
practical day to day challenges, and providing new possibility to the art and
science of human behavior, building relationships, and financial security.
Paula connects people like no one else can!
Creating possibility is not new to Paula, also
known as Pixie. With her BA degree from The University of
Connecticut and winning their prestigious award in Human Development, Paula
pursued her studies in Europe and
served as a gifted education teacher, advanced business and tax strategist,
real estate and investment advisor and elite personal coach covering the gamut
of consulting roles for government agencies to corporate American Express
Financial Advisors and The Coaching Advantage. Seasoned in real estate, restaurant ownership and hospitality markets,
today Paula is personally and professionally vested in creating game changing
dynamics in one of the most lucrative emerging trends: the beverage industry. Paula
doesn’t play by broken rules, she plays with them!
Adding to the numerous
thriving business platforms Paula has founded, on Independence Day, 2013 she
created what she feels might be her greatest contribution to humanity, Local Choice Love INC
(localchoicelove.org). A concept based on uniting private initiatives and
personal stories for the benefit of the common good. Paula is attempting to
bring people together to handle the pains of the human condition by
collectively solving problems at the root cause, the difference between giving
a man a fish and teaching a man to fish. Her first goal is to unite parents of
children who have undiagnosed diseases and therefore very few organized support
structures. This is aptly named “The Mason Project” after a special little boy
named Mason in Connecticut who has an amazing inspirational story to share with
all of us!
Recently Paula has created
a forum for think tankers out there who want to come together to redefine
traditional platforms in the marketplace. Her new company, Trailblazers Global, will unite exceptional minds to brave
territories together that would have otherwise been daunting alone, because
Aristotle said, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts!” Through a
lifetime of building connections Paula has created a space for all these
talented people to share their unique abilities in a way that can bridge
unpassable territory. Are you a player?
Since 2009, Paula has
immersed herself in redefining the spirits industry. Her executive positions as
brand manager, regulatory compliance specialist, and strategic advisor on the
board of a cutting edge spirits technology company have yielded the expertise
required to consult with over 30 emerging brands. She was featured at The
American Distilling Conference in 2013 and at The American Beverage Consortium
in 2014, and sponsored numerous philanthropic events with her own personal
creations which have taken over 30 medals
in revered spirit’s competitions globally; an unprecedented, award winning, Kosher certified spirits line
that has fast become the benchmark of luxury spirits for the world today….
without the luxury price tag!
Paula’s acquired network in the alcohol and
beverage world is unparalleled, and her commitment to empowering communities to
reach their greatest potential inspired
her to launch Local Choice® Spirits, the only Brand Development AND distribution platform that delivers
exceptional products to communities where real people get real rewards for
their loyalty through thePOUR IT FORWARD MOVEMENT. By purchasing from The Local Choice Gateway: Spirits That Make A Difference,
individuals and communities can profit from what they were already doing anyway
by shifting $2 per bottle purchased in real dollars right back to their
favorite causes (info@localchoice.us). This Local Choice Trustmark is the seal
of approval you should be looking for on your beverage purchases. Together we
can change the meaning of “Drink Responsibly”! Because
of Paula’s vision, not only are local communities prospering differently
through celebration,but this
disruption is actually working to improve the ways that companies act in the
real world – for shareholders, for customers and for all of us: prompting us to
be more transparent, more ethical, more aware and more prosperous!
Calvin Coolidge
said, "Advertising via philanthropy ministers to the spiritual side of
trade. It is a great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which
charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the
commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of regeneration and
redemption of mankind." Paula Dezzutti Hewlette said, “Local
Choice!”
Paula also
philanthropically traded her time for selfless giving; honoring the roles she
now takes most seriously: motivational speaker on emerging purpose, ordained
minister to service, and mother of 9 children and now grandchildren. Her motto:
to lead is to serve, and to serve wisely captures all the uncountable riches!
Full of passion,
excitement, outrageous courage, conviction and even defiance, Paula is writing TheJourney
Drug: Laughter Thru the Tears (her book of lessons in the making) to inspire
others and empower the world to reach for their highest good. Mark her words
and mark thecourse,” because even
when the odds are against you and the circumstances look the worst, there ismore
than possibility! Because where things no longer seem possible, that’s
when they become miracles.”
