About Raquel

Hello — welcome. I’m Raquel Eatmon.

I wanted to speak to you directly because I believe the most meaningful work begins with human-to-human connection. What you’ll read next is my professional story, written in the third person, but know that behind it is someone deeply invested in what’s possible when people are supported in thinking clearly and acting with intention.

Warmly,

Raquel

ABOUT RAQUEL:

Raquel Eatmon helps people and organizations turn curiosity into growth. Her work centers on Untamed Curiosity that actually works in real life, curiosity that leads to better decisions, and leadership rooted in action, not theory.

Raquel’s professional foundation was forged in front-line journalism, where she worked as a television news anchor and reporter in major markets. Reporting live taught her how to question everything, think clearly under pressure, communicate with precision, and respond in real time when conditions change—skills that now define her leadership approach across business and organizational settings.

Beyond the newsroom, Raquel is an experienced business owner and innovator who has built and led people-centered systems from the ground up. She is the founder of the Woman of Power Conference, a leadership and professional development platform she launched in 2005 (before women’s conferences became commonplace in corporate spaces).

Driven by curiosity about what women and organizations needed most at the time, Raquel began by listening. She interviewed leaders, employees, and corporate partners to understand the real gaps in leadership development, communication, and support. From that insight, she designed Woman of Power not as a single event, but as a training ground and support system. It combined skill-building, honest conversation, and actionable leadership tools.

Over 11 consecutive years, the platform grew through intentional design and measurable value, earning partnerships and sponsorships from some of America’s leading companies, including Sherwin-Williams, Vitamix, and KeyBank. Raquel led the creation of the content, cultivated corporate relationships, and ensured the experience remained relevant, effective, and grounded in real workplace needs.

In parallel, Raquel expanded her leadership through business ownership and operational execution. As the leader of a high-end boutique restaurant, she oversaw analytics-driven decision-making, team training and development, customer behavior strategy, and intentional sales and marketing campaigns. She questioned everything- from outdated hospitality systems to played out customer engagement. Under her leadership, the business experienced a turnaround supported by the implementation and optimization of Google Analytics, allowing the team to better understand customer patterns, refine strategy, and drive sustainable growth.

Together, these experiences shaped Raquel’s belief that asking braver questions can build stronger systems.

While Raquel is dedicated to helping all people lead and work more effectively, her perspective is informed by a lineage of women: her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who demonstrated leadership long before it was formally recognized. That legacy informs her natural affinity for working closely with women while remaining inclusive in her mission to support individuals and organizations across industries.

At the heart of Raquel’s work is a simple belief: progress is the product. When people are supported in thinking clearly and acting intentionally, better work and better lives follow.

Fun fact: Early in her career, Raquel spent time an entire summer on the set of The Shawshank Redemption movie filming (a fun reminder that long before her work took shape, she was already drawn to stories about resilience, hope, and the power of persistence).
