Who We Are

Meet Ryann Leonard

Ryann Leonard, the founder of Emphasis Consulting, has always had a passion for assisting others in growing their careers. Her focus is on supporting current and emerging leaders through whole-person coaching and strengths-based intervention as they navigate the challenging and exciting world of business. Prior to consulting, Ryann received three degrees, including a B.A. in Human Development and Family Studies, a B.A. in Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and a Master’s in Organizational Leadership. She also is an adjunct professor at Goodwin University, where she teaches leadership skills. 

Ryann started her career as an administrative assistant in the health insurance field where she worked with eight different executives. Developing close interpersonal relationships with the leadership team, Ryann earned a hands-on education regarding the pressures and skillsets of executive leadership. From there, she moved into talent development at CVS, spending five years focused on positively impacting team culture and mentoring new and emerging leaders. 

In 2022, Ryann channeled her skills, philosophies, and approaches for growing teams and leaders into Emphasis Consulting. “I came to the realization that everyone is a leader, regardless of the level they’re on,” she says. ”It’s a choice and a practice. My passion is helping other people on their journeys to growth and becoming skilled, excellent leaders.”

Our Mission

Our mission is to transform and empower professionals through strengths-based, individualized leadership coaching that focuses on influence, motivation, and communication. We partner with you to help you reach your potential and accelerate your leadership impact.

Not all leaders look the same. Providing you with the space to grow, we put the emphasis on you — your strengths, your growth, and your trajectory. Each session, relationship, and roadmap is dynamic and unique to the client. Our transparent, motivated, and strengths-based approach puts an emphasis on your strengths and recognizes your weaknesses with an end goal or breaking past habits to grow as a leader.

Our vision is to expand the impact of coaching past corporate executives and make it accessible for leaders across all industries, from education to non-profits. We equip you with the skills necessary to succeed in dynamic environments.

Approach

Through 1:1 sessions or group workshops, we work across industries to transform leaders at all levels, from new and emerging leaders to experienced executives. We customize an approach based on the person, focusing on our clients’ strengths while providing them with the space to grow and develop.

Our focus is on bringing support to emerging and current leaders as they navigate the challenging and exciting waters of our world through whole-person coaching and strengths-based intervention. Emphasis Consulting was started based on our passion and purpose to assist others in their career growth.
