Born in Brazil, married to an Italian and living in the US, Raquel is extremely curious about cultural differences and human connections. Her 25 years of experience with adult learning, sales, leadership development and mediation proved to her that our school or work experience does not matter, but the skills we carry that can be applied to anything we do.

Raquel believes that living the concept of the Growth Mindset allows us to get anywhere we want, and our ability to be resilient is really what keeps us sharp and motivated. Raquel currently works coaching, mentoring, mediating, effective communication, difficult conversations, and supporting employees with their emotional intelligence and career paths. She is also involved in special inclusion projects in her community.

Raquel studied Arts and Literatures in Rio de Janeiro, is a certified coach, holds a certificate from Search Inside Yourself Institute on Leading with Emotional Intelligence, is a mediator and volunteers as a Guardian Litem and mentor for young professionals. Her hobbies include cooking, photographing people, traveling and listening to the stories of the people she meets along her way.

Through The Sweet Spot Leader program, Raquel seeks to pass along her experience and wisdom to those who, like her, are dedicated to leading transformational change to make our world a better place for everyone.
