In this episode of Momentum Matters, we sit down with Cristy LeAnne Swint and Ryan Walker Graham, founders of RamLea Partners and creators of Connection Growth Corporate Coaching™.

Cristy and Ryan share a powerful conversation on what it truly means to lead with authenticity, align with core values, and bring the human element back into today’s workplace. Drawing from their diverse backgrounds in wellness, entrepreneurship, advocacy, and corporate coaching, they explore how organizations can strengthen trust, improve communication, and build cultures that drive sustainable growth.

Together, they unpack the concept of Connection Growth™, the process of becoming authentically aware of who we are in order to strengthen how we relate to others, and how this framework helps leaders and teams navigate challenges, bridge generational gaps, and create meaningful impact.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

- How authenticity shapes stronger leadership and workplace culture
- Why core values are essential for decision-making and long-term success
- The role of emotional intelligence in building trust and engagement
- How AI can support (not replace) human connection at work
- Practical ways to foster communication, feedback, and team alignment

Cristy and Ryan also share insights from their three-phase coaching approach—assessment, collaborative coaching, and ongoing feedback—designed to help organizations grow with clarity, purpose, and connection.

Whether you’re a leader, emerging professional, or someone passionate about building healthier workplaces, this conversation offers actionable insights to help you lead with intention and authenticity.
