As a business consultant, Ramona takes companies who are experiencing tension, unresolved conflicts, and culture challenges and transforms them into bonded, respectful, vulnerable and trust-filled organizations.
Ramona quickly builds rapport with executive teams and works with them to customize a program that will ensure they are elevating their work to the highest level!
A personalized package typically includes attending and offering feedback at executive team meetings, on-site coaching, and off-site retreats. Ramona engages high performing leaders by using such tools as a Values Assessment, the Enneagram, Johari’s Window, the Social Styles Model, Soft Skills Training, Self-Care Techniques and more.
“Our Senior Leadership Team engaged with Ramona to help us get re-acquainted and re-build trust. Her knowledge, wisdom and guidance have been an excellent resource to help us learn active listening, be curious and be present in our conversations with each other. She has gotten us to lean in, get vulnerable and most importantly “Trust the Process”. The end result has all been change for the better. I would highly recommend Ramona Wink for your business consulting needs.”
Blake Long, V.P. Brand And Marketing, Allina Health

It’s easy to see the clutter in our co-worker’s cubicle that drives us nuts. It’s hard not to hear the annoying way our manager clears their throat. But here’s the problem: Focusing on the smudge will wire our brains to be more vulnerable to mental health issues.
In this 60-minute presentation, attendees will learn the basics of mindfulness, participate in a guided meditation, practice gratitude, and re-framing. The overall workplace culture will improve as people demonstrate the techniques learned in this session in their place of employment.
As a mental health therapist, many of Ramona Wink’s clients come to her with one clear goal- to know themselves more fully. The reason for that is clear- not having a strong sense of self-awareness has a negative impact on people’s personal and professional lives.
In this 60-minute presentation, Ramona Wink will introduce attendees to the Johari’s Window model. Through offering self-disclosure and asking for feedback, attendees will expand the open quadrant and function at a higher level.
“I hired Ramona to speak at the Iowa Employment Conference and the Missouri Employment Conference. I believed she would do justice to the topic of mental health. What we weren’t counting on was how FANTASTIC Ramona really was! From the moment she started speaking, Ramona commanded the stage. Ramona is a natural story teller and had our attendees hanging on every word. The old saying goes, “You could hear a pin drop. But with Ramona speaking, you could hear our attendees’ hearts beating! After hosting the Iowa Employment Conference for over 16 years, Ramona left a lasting impression on everyone! The surveys proved what we knew- Ramona is FANTASTIC!"
-Nan Boland, President, HireQuality Solutions, Iowa Employment Conference/Missouri Employment Conference
“Ramona’s presentations are worth your time and investment! We brought together two departments facing various struggles and difficult situations. Our two-hour session together with Ramona and her message tailored to the ongoing challenges was on target and met with great praise across both departments. Our session allowed us to step away from the daily complex demands and identify opportunities for better communication, understanding, and self-reflection. Ramona is a very engaging speaker that will work with you to develop the content applicable to your situation. I highly recommend her!”
-M.R., Senior Vice-President of Operations
“Ramona Wink was the opening keynote for our 2022 Iowa Society for Healthcare Human Resources Administration spring conference with the Iowa Hospital Association and did a fantastic job setting the tone for the whole day. Her presentation provided our members with some much-needed information on resiliency and how to combat emotional burnout. Ramona mixed in wonderful activities, humor, and excitement to a topic that needs to be addressed now more than ever. The participant survey results were off the charts, and the comments were extremely positive. I would recommend Ramona for any group needing someone to cover the topics of mental health, anxiety, resiliency, and burnout. She was outstanding.”
-Corey Martin, Vice President, Education | Human Resources, Iowa Hospital Association
“Ramona's energetic yet empathetic conversation with our team allowed us to identify our top workplace appreciation languages, the importance of reframing our negative mindset, and highlighting which self-care measures need to be implemented into our lifestyles. She was skilled in engaging the entire audience and was strategic in her delivery of topics within our workforce while remaining relatable and authentic. Ramona's well-prepared content is sure to have a lasting impact on us all for years to come!"
-Ashlyn Jungwirth, Business Development and Marketing Specialist, Cardinal Construction
Helping high achieving professionals feel safe and supported to identify and remove obstacles that hinder them from living their best life, personally and professionally, is a strong suit for Ramona. She is quick to understand their world and gifted in asking challenging questions to increase their insight about themselves and their environment. Whether it's a few sessions with Ramona or a long-term coaching relationship, executives will see that the investment they make in themselves will pay big dividends.
INQUIRE ABOUT COACHINGA few hours with Ramona will change your life. I had spent years reading thebest-selling books on successful habits, personal philosophies, and motivation. I attended any personal-improvement courses that my employer offered. Honestly, I never found any long-term change. In my first meeting with Ramona, I learned more about myself than I had in all my reading and learning combined. I felt like I was talking to an old friend as she helped me see what was missing in my life. I am a totally different person today, and I owe most of it to Ramona.
-Tom Hillers, Attorney
“Ramona has been the key factor in elevating my job performance, enjoyment, and intentionality in everything I do. Thanks to her, I've become more confident in my decisions, and driven to achieve the results I want. Ramona's profound understanding and experience in mental health helps make her coaching not only effective, but deeply fulfilling to those lucky enough to work with her. I strongly recommend Ramona for any executive coaching needs.
