Real time Support for Out of the Box Thinkers

Navigate Change. Honor Your Truth.

Arrive at Your Next Destination.

You're creating ripples of change in your own way - whether through visionary leadership, creative work, or seeking a more mindful approach to impact. But somewhere between the big dreams and daily demands, you may have lost touch with what drew you to this path in the first place.

I'm Raven Delana, a certified professional coach with over a decade of experience supporting visionaries across corporate, nonprofit, creative, and entrepreneurial spaces. Drawing from my background in both tech and nonprofit leadership, I've developed the RIDGES framework - a unique approach to coaching that honors how you naturally think, process, and move through the world.

Choose Your Path

Coaching for Emerging Leaders

You've mastered your role and see opportunities for meaningful change, but traditional leadership models don't quite fit your vision. Together, we'll develop your authentic leadership presence while navigating organizational dynamics with integrity.

Perfect for you if:

  • You're ready to move into leadership while staying true to your values

  • You see the need for systemic change in your organization

  • You want to build influence before having a formal title

  • You're seeking ways to lead that honor both urgency and sustainability

Coaching for Changemaking Creatives

Your innovative projects challenge "business as usual," but conventional approaches to productivity and success don't match how you naturally work. We'll create systems and strategies that work with your brain, not against it.

Perfect for you if:

  • You're bringing unconventional creative ideas to life

  • Traditional productivity tips haven’t served you

  • You want to make impact without burning out

  • You're seeking support that honors neurodivergent experiences

Mindfulness Coaching

You know mindfulness could help, but mainstream approaches feel disconnected from your lived experience. Together, we'll develop practices that fit your real life and support your capacity for sustained impact.

Perfect for you if:

  • You're skeptical of traditional (whitewashed) approaches

  • You want super practical tools that fit into a real life

  • You appreciate mindfulness that honors your whole experience

  • You're seeking balance between self and community care

Travelling the RIDGES

  • Tuning into your inner compass instead of forcing yourself into conventional molds

  • Transforming challenges into chosen opportunities for growth, moving beyond survival mode

  • Creating sustainable rhythms that honor both your creative surges and your need for restoration

  • Building confidence in your authentic way of showing up by aligning actions with values

  • Developing a stronger connection to your physical wisdom and learning to trust your instincts

  • Defining success on your own terms, beyond conventional metrics and expectations

The RIDGES framework creates lasting change through six core elements.

Using this framework, we'll work together to unlock your unique potential for impact - without compromising who you are or how you naturally work.

My Approach

As your coach, I create space for both strategic thinking and deep reflection. Our work together is:

  • Culturally Responsive: Drawing from my lived experience as a Black woman leader in both tech and nonprofit spaces

  • Trauma-Informed: Honoring the impact of both personal and systemic challenges

  • Evidence-Based: Blending proven coaching methods with mindfulness practices

  • Results-Oriented: Focused on practical outcomes while respecting your natural pace

What Sets My Work Apart

  • No-Bullshit Guidance: Clear, direct communication without spiritual bypass or corporate jargon

  • Holistic Strategy: Addressing both practical challenges and deeper patterns

  • Sustainable Change: Building practices that honor your energy and capacity

  • Authentic Partnership: Creating space for your whole self, including the messy parts
