Hi, my name is Deana Ransdell

What if the path to exceptional leadership isn't found in another podcast or book—but through understanding the emotional landscape of your business and your role within it?

Through my years in university and business leadership and extensive study of emotional intelligence, I've seen something remarkable happen over and over: the contributors who truly thrive aren't always the smartest people in the room—they're the ones who understand emotions and know how to use that insight strategically.

My Background:

  • Master's Degree in Strategic Leadership

  • University and business leadership experience managing complex operations and diverse teams

  • Entrepreneur with hands-on experience building and scaling businesses

  • Certified in EQi-2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessment

  • Certified in CliftonStrengths coaching through Human Formation Coalition

  • Corporate Learning & Development expertise

  • Passionate about helping leaders unlock their emotional intelligence potential

Why This Work Matters to Me:

In my leadership roles, I watched brilliant professionals hit invisible walls—not because they lacked technical skills, but because they hadn't developed their emotional intelligence. I'm deeply committed to helping people grow into the best versions of themselves using various methods based on each person's unique needs. I use a tailored approach to map out a personalized action plan.

My Approach:

Think of me as your trusted guide on an unfamiliar but rewarding trail.  Together, we will:

  • Assess where you are now using the scientifically validated EQi-2.0

  • Integrate your natural strengths into your success plan

  • Develop the specific EQ competencies that drive real leadership success

  • Create emotionally intelligent teams that actually navigate conflict and change effectively

  • Build systems that keep your emotional intelligence growing long after our work together
