Drea Raggambi, PCC, CBC
Hi, I'm Drea Raggambi. I transform overwhelmed managers into confident leaders who drive performance and foster resilient teams. I utilize my WHO-BE-DO model to align leaders with their core values (WHO), cultivate authentic presence (BE), and drive intentional actions (DO). This approach leads to measurable improvements in team engagement, retention, and performance.

Publications
I am the author of two leadership-focused books, each reflecting my commitment to helping leaders like you unlock their potential:
​
-
Leading Curiously: Coaching Yourself and Your Team to High Performance from the Inside Out - This handbook introduces leaders to the transformative power of curiosity and self-awareness, offering practical tools and strategies to build trust, manage change, and create high-performing teams.
​
-
It’s Time for Some Next Level SHIFT - A guided journal designed to help individuals and teams break through limiting beliefs and create new awareness and intentional, purposeful growth.
A Philosophy Rooted in Creativity, Growth, and Impact
I believe leadership begins with knowing who you are. Regardless of your role, you are a leader—first and foremost, a leader of yourself. By grounding yourself in self-awareness, you can lead authentically and inspire others to do the same. My work is guided by these core personal values:
-
Creativity: Staying curious, asking bold questions to explore new possibilities that foster innovation and connection, and designing fun and transformative development programs.
-
Growth: Embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and transformation.
-
Impact: Delivering measurable results that leave a lasting positive imprint on people and organizations.
In addition to coaching and consulting, I channel my creativity and inspiration through art. My passion for storytelling and connection comes to life through Artpactful, where I create meaningful artwork that not only inspires but also gives back to the community.
​My leadership philosophy based on my WHO-BE-DO model (below) is:
I lead with creativity, impact, and growth at my core. I approach challenges with innovation, foster continuous personal development, and create fun, meaningful experiences that inspire transformation. As a caring, supportive, and present leader, I listen deeply and engage with positivity and curiosity. I empower leaders to increase self-awareness, challenge limiting beliefs, and take purposeful action aligned with their aspirations.
​
I believe the factors that limit us reside within us.
These limitations are based on what we believe, what we expect, how we respond, and what we choose. If we can create intentional space to hit the pause button on our ego, limit and shift self-judgment, dismiss comparison, and manage our expectations and responses to ‘fake’ threats, we have access to the recipe for designing and accelerating the success story we have yet to write.
​
Start today! Transform yourself, your team, and your organization with me!
If you’re ready to align who you are with how you lead, let’s connect. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for success—for yourself, your team, and your organization.
