Hi! I’m Tina!
I am a Relational & Executive Coach.

I bring the ‘relational’ and ‘executive’ together,
because your relational capacity is key
to being successful in all areas of life!
I don’t just give you more tools.
I help you get to the relational blindspots
that have been getting in the way of using any tools.

Tina Ratliff is a Relational Coach & Leadership Development Coach.
She has her own practice and is also co-owner, Consultant and Facilitator of The Culture Building Group. She is honored to have been vetted and trained by Dr. John Townsend as a Townsend Leadership Program Director. She is a Certified EQ2.0 Assessor and Facilitator, and is currently being trained in Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy.
She has worked with business leaders and entrepreneurs for nearly a decade. She uses her real-world experience in assisting organizations and individuals who want to unpack what is getting in the way of their goals, increase their EQ and implement change. With Tina’s life experience and knowledge in Emotional Intelligence, Interpersonal Neuroscience, and Organizational Psychology she is able to address both the head and the heart as you optimize leadership performance within your self and your team.
Through her coaching and growth groups Tina helps leaders at every level grow in leading with connection and empathy, become more self-aware and increase resiliency in order to eliminate burnout and lead with success.

I help people discover what they don’t know they don’t know!

My Coaching Style
I believe the guiding principles of thriving in all areas of life are made up of the four capacities of character; bonding, boundaries, reality, and maturing.
- Bonding – The capacity to engage in deep, vulnerable, fulfilling relationships that fuel performance and engagement
- Boundaries – The capacity to confront in healthy ways and communicate effectively
- Reality – The capacity to resolve perfectionism, be skilled at adaptation, and avoid entitlement attitudes
- Maturing – The capacity to relate as a mutual adult, understand purpose, develop talent and employ effective work ethic

I can lead your next church group or business leader’s workshop!
