Leadership coach and facilitator supporting professionals through transitions and uncertainty—helping them prevent burnout while leading with clarity, resilience, and strategic action.

Sustained success requires more than endurance. It requires the ability to lead with discernment, confidence, and intention—especially during periods of change.

My work allows leaders to move forward decisively while remaining grounded, focused, and aligned with what matters most.

With over 25 years of experience in leadership, coaching, and facilitation, I support clients in strengthening their inner leadership, restoring strategic perspective, and taking deliberate action—without reverting to reactive patterns that set the stage for burnout.

WHAT I BRING:

✴︎ 25+ years in leadership, coaching, and facilitation
✴︎ Coached 200+ professionals through burnout, transitions, and reinvention
✴︎ Corporate workshop and facilitation experience across healthcare, engineering, professional services, and retail/restaurant environments
✴︎ A proven track record of measurable outcomes, including promotions, new roles, successful transitions, and business launches
✴︎ A grounded, practical approach that blends inner work with real-world execution

My work supports leaders as they:
☙ Lead with calm confidence in the midst of uncertainty and change
☙ Regain clarity and momentum during periods of transition
☙ Navigate career shifts without losing energy—or identity
☙ Reclaim their voice, boundaries, and decision-making authority
☙ Step into new roles, responsibilities, or chapters with intention
☙ Create careers aligned with who they are now—not who they were expected to be

MY APPROACH:

I integrate self-leadership and strategic action using proven methodologies, including Unshakable Leadership and the SOURCE framework, to help clients strengthen their inner foundation while taking meaningful external action. Discover more details at www.RonniLandeck.com.

I also utilize the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment, a powerful tool that reveals how energy and mindset impact leadership effectiveness—especially during periods of stress, change, or uncertainty. This enables clients to respond with clarity, resilience, and choice.

At the core of my work is a simple principle:
Sustainable success comes from alignment, not pressure.
