Hi, I'm Drea Raggambi, helping humans being lead human beings.

Background & Expertise

SWAM_LOGO.jpg

​PerforMore is proud to be certified as a Small, Women-owned Business by the Commonwealth of Virginia! Learn more about my services.

 

I’ve had the privilege of working with leaders and teams in:

  • Engineering & Technical Fields: Helping technical experts develop the relational skills and emotional intelligence required to lead effectively.

  • Government Contracting: Supporting leaders to navigate change and align strategic objectives with team goals.

  • Non-Profits: Guiding mission-driven organizations to build trust, enhance collaboration, and create scalable growth.

  • Corporate Environments: Partnering with organizations to implement leadership development programs that foster resilience and adaptability in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments.

 

Each experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges leaders face across sectors and the tools they need to thrive.

​​

As a certified professional coach with over a decade of experience and an ICF PCC credential, I combine advanced training with practical expertise to drive meaningful change. I hold a Master’s Degree in Adult Learning and Human Resources from Virginia Tech and am a PROSCI-certified change management professional. With more than 20 years of experience in leadership development, human resource, and organizational strategy, I bring a people-first philosophy that aligns cultural transformation with business goals.

​

My approach fosters environments where individuals thrive and teams excel. By prioritizing human-centered strategies, I’ve played a key role in creating and sustaining cultural shifts that enhance employee engagement and deliver measurable business outcomes. I believe that when people are supported, inspired, and empowered, they form the foundation for organizational growth and long-term success.

​

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.

Publications

I am the author of two leadership-focused books, each reflecting my commitment to helping leaders like you unlock their potential:

​

​

  • 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.

 

​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.

The WHO-BE-DO Development Model
Hone Your Inner Compass to Lead Yourself and Others from the Inside-Out

who-be-do (6).png

Learn more about this model in this 13-minute video.

This model helps you tap into what truly matters when times get tough. Think of it as your inner compass—a guide you can access whenever you need grounding and clarity and a way to help you make decisions today that your future self would high-five you for. 

WHO

At the core of the model is the "Authentic Self," representing the essence of who you are. This encompasses your values, strengths, and unique personal characteristics. Understanding and embracing your authentic self is crucial for genuine leadership and like a bright amazing light, can shine through in all you do. This WHO is what is left if all your possessions and all your accomplishments were taken away from you. Focusing on WHO involves evaluating thought patterns, strengths, values, and limiting beliefs while fostering habits of gratitude and acceptance. This journey leads to conscious behaviors aligned with our true selves, fostering ease, peace, and flow. As our internal state shapes our external reality, regular calibration and alignment to WHO we are brings us closer to desired outcomes. 

Tools in our coaching or workshops that support exploration of your WHO include:

  • Enneagram

  • MBTI

  • DiSC

  • HPTI

​

BE

The next layer focuses on "BE," which refers to the way you present yourself to others. It involves aligning your actions with your authentic self and recognizing how you are showing up to others energetically.  BE represents the transformative nexus where we engage with others, yielding both complexities and enriching relationships. These interactions serve as mirrors, reflecting aspects of ourselves that may otherwise go unnoticed. By aligning with our authentic WHO, we empower ourselves to express freely and pursue meaningful actions. â€‹Focus here fosters confidence, self-worth, and respect, enhancing feelings of value in relationships and behaviors that improve the quality of relationships.

Tools in our coaching or workshops that support exploration of your BE include:

  • Leadership Circle 360 

  • Leadership Effectiveness 360

  • Energy Leadership Index Assessment/also the 360 version​

DO

The outer layer, "DO," represents your actions. It’s about taking actions that are consistent with your authentic self called for by each unique situation. When your actions align with who you truly are, they are more effective and impactful, leading to genuine results. While most people operate here in doing, excellence here relies on alignment of WHO we are and how we are BEing. â€‹This phase delves into understanding motivations, limitations, and capabilities, facilitating action within an inspiring and efficient timeframe. 

 

​Working with me to activate your WHO and BE to influence your DO is what we get to explore more in custom workshops or coaching engagements.
