Deaunn Stovall Outside in Green Dress

Transformational Partner

My passion and mission is to partner with a purpose that leads to exploration, motivation, cultivation, transformation and reflection.

I am a podcast host, speaker, aspiring author, teacher, mentor, social emotional coach, and transformational leader.  I am a natural born motivator, desiring to see others grow while striving to empower the community by amplifying social emotional intelligence as a seed for success.

I offer bi-weekly podcasts, workshops, seminars, keynote speaking and coaching that promote personal and professional growth through research, study and proven methods in emotional intelligence.

It was only through my exposure to social emotional health, brain development, research and experience of 30 years in learning, observing and interacting with adult and child relationships, personalities and behaviors that I understood the power of having EQ Emotional Intelligence.  Studies have shown that people with strong emotional intelligence have higher levels of success, better relationships, and improved mental health.

By partnering with individuals, groups, and organizations to raise awareness in EQ in communities, I am able to help cultivate growth and development through reflective approaches that acknowledge barriers that impact self-fulfillment growth both personally and professionally.

Once these barriers to success are identified, I am then able to partner alongside others to share methods to begin the transformational process to blossom.

Using my facilitation, training, and coaching skills, I will work to encourage individuals, teams, and organizations to strive for a desired direction to land and propser.

  • "Destination Dandelion has proven to be a voice of comfort while being the driving voice of change. Deaunn provides a nurturing environment necessary for others to be able to feel, process and to grow while embodying the changes they seek. She shares an empathetic approach that allows you to honor self first in order to grow and establish healthy boundaries by which all relationships are then governed. I’m grateful she has chosen her gift, which I am certain as promised, will make room for her."

    Rhonda, Director

  • "I wanted to share my testimony with you. Writing this brought back so many positve encounters that I literally could write a book about my experiences with you. You are an awesome person destined to empower more people like me. I wish you all the best in your new endeavor. Through her coaching, I learned to integrate social emotional learning strategies in my classroom to support my students’ social emotional growth from the classroom to their home. Little did I know that I would be adapting those same strategies in my own life. Those strategies included breathing techniques, relationship building, personal space, self-awareness, and emotional check-ins. I remember when she asked me to speak to other teachers about how effective teaching social emotional learning to students can be. I was reluctant, but her words of encouragement empowered me and made me feel like I could not fail. This led me to speak to more groups of teachers without fear. Even on a more personal level, I remember going through a difficult season and sharing with her some of my personal battles, and I found myself being comforted by her encouraging words and some advice. I truly believe that she comes from a place of sincerity to empower those who encounter her."
