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™.

Imagine this: you feel present and proud of your body

Despite the business, the content and commenting, the networking, the creating, the coaching, the leading, you decide to pour into yourself.

You start to see how lifting 3 days a week builds muscle, but also, starts to build reps in confidence, consistency, and decisions. 
You decide to take the 4 weeks of working out seriously, like you do your business and your client results, and suddenly, everything else starts to feel lighter. 

You drink more water, eat more protein, and have more peace instead of reacting to fires that come your way.

You even open your Bible and read it! And decide that reading YouVersion everyday could be a cool thing, too

And to top it off? You start having fun. Enjoying yourself. 
Waking up excited every day
 
You know how some women completely own their business but feel like they’re simply checking boxes at the gym and not seeing results? 

As a Personal Trainer since 2008, I help high-achieving women build powerful bodies so they continue to love, lift, and lead every part of their lives
Oh yeah–and it gets to be FUN!
