Building Leaders.

Growing Revenue. Together

 Leadership and sales training that aligns vision, people, and performance for lasting success.

Hi! I'm

Deana Jean

CEO and Founder of Intentional Excellence Consulting, and known by many as Your Collab Queen.

I partner with high-growth organizations, executives, and entrepreneurs to unlock leadership potential and accelerate sales performance. With more than 15 years of experience in sales strategy and executive leadership, I’ve helped leaders and teams—from Fortune 500 boardrooms to global stages—clarify their goals, grow their influence, and achieve measurable results.

At the heart of my work is the Goals, Gifts & Gaps® framework, a simple yet powerful way to identify where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get there. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that true success comes through relationship currency—building the kind of Know, Like & Trust that turns colleagues into collaborators and connections into lasting impact.
