LinkedIn Top Voice & Thought Leader - I Help Executives Unlock Peak Performance and Lead with Confidence | Expert in Executive Function, Leadership, and Strategic Success | Former Dean & HR Director | 150+ Happy Clients

"The most strategic leaders often failed where emotionally and spiritually intelligent leaders thrived – especially those aligned with universal principles." 

This observation, made during my 15+ years as Associate Dean and HR Director, led me to develop The Missing Intelligence™ – the spiritually-integrated framework that transforms how women lead through higher wisdom and natural laws.

I'm Raquel Kelly Núñez, and I've spent my career witnessing a critical and painful gap in leadership development: We train minds but ignore the spiritual intelligence and universal principles that create authentic, sustainable leadership.

📊 My Corporate & Academic Experience Revealed:
From the Dean's office to HR leadership, I observed patterns that traditional leadership development missed:
• Women abandoning their intuitive wisdom to fit conventional models
• Emotional reactivity due to spiritual disconnection from higher guidance
• Leadership burnout from fighting universal laws of flow and alignment
• The most impactful leaders integrating something beyond IQ – spiritual wisdom and natural principles

🎯 This Led to The Missing Intelligence™ Discovery:
The spiritual integration of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) that enables:
• Spiritually-aligned leadership presence
• Wisdom-guided decision-making through universal principles
• Values-aligned influence rooted in higher consciousness
• Purpose-driven impact through spiritual alignment

🔄 The Paradigm Shift:
Old Model: Strategy + Experience = Leadership Success
Conscious Model: IQ + EQ + SQ + Universal Alignment = Transformational Leadership

💫 What Changes When Women Access The Missing Intelligence™ Through Spiritual Integration:
• Confidence in their spiritually-aligned leadership style
• Ability to influence through higher wisdom rather than force
• Sustainable success that honors universal laws and serves the greater good
• Leadership presence that inspires through spiritual resonance

🌟 My Mission:
Creating a new leadership paradigm where women lead from spiritual wisdom and universal principles – where The Missing Intelligence™ becomes the foundation for conscious leadership development that bridges ancient wisdom with modern success.

Currently working with spiritually-conscious women ready to step into their highest leadership potential.

Discover your spiritually-aligned Missing Intelligence™.

Most people stay stuck because they attach themselves to the wrong things.
They hold on out of fear, not direction.

Here is the shift that changes everything:

Do not attach yourself to a person.
Do not attach yourself to a project.
Do not attach yourself to a company.
Do not attach yourself to an organization.

All of those can change.
All of those can disappear.
None of those define your future.

Attach yourself to a goal.
Attach yourself to a calling.
Attach yourself to a mission.
Attach yourself to a purpose.

When your identity is rooted in something bigger than your job or your relationships:

+ you take bolder steps,
+ you make clearer decisions,
and you stop depending on unstable things to give you stability.

Build your life around what you are here to create.
Everything else becomes easier to navigate.

Stop acting like recognition is a limited resource.

It’s infinite - you’re just not using it.

Too many leaders hesitate to spotlight others... worried it might make them look smaller.

But the reality is:
Lifting others doesn’t dilute your influence - it amplifies it.

When you recognize people consistently, something incredible happens:

→ Energy rises
→ Loyalty strengthens
→ And your leadership presence expands

Here’s how to make appreciation a daily leadership habit:

1️⃣ Celebrate wins publicly
Even the small ones. Visibility fuels motivation.

2️⃣ Give credit generously - and specifically
Don’t just say “great job.” Say what they nailed.

3️⃣ Offer guidance without taking over
Mentorship isn’t doing the work - it’s helping someone realize their potential.

4️⃣ Ask for ideas and act on them
People contribute more when they know their voice counts.

5️⃣ Cultivate collaboration NOT competition
Shared success creates momentum you can’t manufacture alone.

Because when people feel seen, they show up differently.
They push harder, think deeper, and care more.

Supporting others doesn’t take away from your success.
It multiplies it.

When others rise, you rise too.

The bosses we remember made us feel seen.
Not for what we did, but for who we were.

The leaders who stay with us long after we leave share a few powerful qualities:

→ Listened and valued our ideas
↳ made us feel we mattered

→ Helped us learn from mistakes
↳ without blame, just guidance

→ Treated us with respect and fairness
↳ every single time

→ Guided without pressure
↳ letting us grow at our own pace

→ Gave feedback that helped us grow
↳ honest, clear, and kind

→ Inspired us to do our best
↳ by believing in us

→ Supported through challenges
↳ and never let us feel alone

→ Shared knowledge and experience
↳ so we could rise faster

→ Recognised our strengths
↳ often before we did

Great leaders don’t just manage.
They shape the people we become.

Being around people who outthink you isn’t uncomfortable - it’s catalytic.

Some treat smarter colleagues like a threat.
I treat them like a warning sign that my comfort zone is getting too small.

Because here’s the truth:
↳ Growth doesn’t come from protecting your position.
It comes from expanding your perspective.

When you’re surrounded by people who operate at a higher mental frequency, try this:

👉 Ask the questions that force you to rethink your assumptions
→Not “How did you do that?”
But:
→“What did you ignore?”
→“What made this the right move?”
→“What would you do if everything went wrong?”

👉 Watch how they edit their thoughts
→How they cut complexity.
→How they decide what matters before diving into the work.
→How they refuse to get dragged into noise.

👉 Track the standards they refuse to compromise
→Their output reveals their discipline.
→Their consistency reveals their mindset.

👉 Take the upgrade, leave the identity
→You’re not meant to become them.
→You’re meant to absorb the part that sharpens you.

👉 Strip away the ego
→You don’t need to be the loudest.
Or the quickest.
Or the smartest.
→You just need to stay coachable.

Because if you’re the sharpest person in every room, you’re no longer growing - you’re maintaining.

But when you step into rooms where people think faster, see clearer, and execute cleaner…

Your growth accelerates without permission.

Most people network randomly.
The people who rise do it deliberately and strategically.

Networking isn’t luck. 
It’s thoughtful action. 

↳Consistency over randomness.
↳Focus on quality over quantity.
↳Value over asking.

1. Target the Right People
→ Connect with decision-makers and key influencers
→ Focus on 3–5 high-impact contacts per company

2. Outreach That Gets Replies
→ Short, clear, value-first messages
→ Show relevance, provide insight, then ask

3. Give Before You Ask
→ Offer knowledge, resources, or introductions first
→ Be the person who adds value, not the one who asks

4. Meetings / Calls
→ Prepare 3 sharp questions
→ Keep conversations concise and purposeful

5. Follow-Up Like a Pro
→ Personalised thank-you referencing the discussion
→ Add extra value: a tip, article, or connection

6. Track Your Connections
→ Maintain a simple CRM or spreadsheet
→ Record next steps and follow-up reminders

7. Keep Relationships Warm
→ Check in periodically
→ Celebrate milestones, share resources, and stay visible

Networking works when it’s 
↳Consistent
↳Deliberate
↳Value-driven.

Some companies think people quit because the industry is competitive.

They DON'T.

People quit because staying became too expensive emotionally, mentally, or professionally.

Here’s the part most leaders overlook:

People rarely leave environments where they genuinely feel:

↳ Supported → someone has their back
↳ Challenged → stretched in their growth
↳ Valued → their contribution counts
↳ Respected → their ideas matter
↳ Balanced → work does not cost wellbeing
↳ Connected → surrounded by trust
↳ Empowered → decisions hold weight
↳ Secure → not fearful of the future
↳ Rewarded → fairness is visible
↳ Trusted → no micromanaging
↳ Recognised → effort seen and acknowledged
↳ Aligned → work holds meaning

In places like that, people don’t go looking elsewhere.
They build and grow inside the company.

But when even a few of these fade?

→ Initiative slows
→ Creativity thins
→ Loyalty becomes optional

Retention is not a perk.
It is a relationship.

And relationships break the moment people feel invisible.

If you want your best people to stay, don’t ask for gratitude.
Ask if they feel supported.
Ask if they feel seen.
Ask if they feel safe to grow.

People don’t leave workplaces where they can thrive.
They leave the ones where they can’t.

Leadership is a multiplier.

It doesn’t just influence people.
It shapes culture.
It determines pace.
It defines what’s possible.

The best leaders I’ve worked with didn’t micromanage.
They didn’t chase titles.
They didn’t raise their voice to be heard.

They made clarity feel like confidence.
They made feedback feel like support.
They made accountability feel like alignment.

And that’s the difference:

Management is operational.
Leadership is foundational.

You can build teams without it.
But you can’t scale trust, performance, or purpose without it.

So here’s the quiet truth:

If your team performs better when you’re in the room — you’re managing.
If they perform better when you’re not — you’re leading.

And in today’s world, leadership is no longer a luxury.
It’s a necessity.
