Welcome to Engaging Leadership Strategies!

About Me

Hi, my name is Tina Praino, and I am a seasoned Executive Leadership and Employee Engagement Coach.

Since the early 2000s, I’ve been helping world-class organizations create workplaces where employees feel valued, motivated, and empowered—long before “employee engagement” became a buzzword. My passion has always been turning workplace culture into a competitive advantage, helping leaders inspire teams, boost productivity, and drive real results.

After years of successful performance as a multi-unit manager and then as an operations executive, I applied my expertise in leadership and workplace culture to launch my own consulting business. Since founding Engaging Retail in 2011, I have been dedicated to helping business owners and thought leaders create dynamic, engaging environments. My passion for driving meaningful change led me to expand my focus, and in 2023, I rebranded as Engaging Leadership Strategies. This evolution reflects a broader suite of executive leadership coaching services, designed to empower leaders across diverse industries to navigate challenges, inspire teams, and drive lasting success.

My Experience:

I bring a wealth of experience gained from working at and collaborating with organizations such as The Cleveland Indians Baseball Company (now The Cleveland Guardians), Ace Hardware Corporation, BellSouth, Big Dog Sportswear, Movie Gallery, and Victoria's Secret to name a few.

I have a proven track record in leadership coaching, employee engagement, and operations management, and I am passionate about transforming organizations and empowering leaders to empower their people. 

My expertise lies in unlocking the full potential of individuals and teams and fostering a culture of collaboration, motivation, and excellence.
