ABOUT DEONDRA
It starts with a vision, yet you have to go from dreaming to doing, from the excitement of what you want to accomplish to the execution of getting it done.
Deondra Wardelle, Documenting the Journey Podcast Episode 20
I’m Deondra Wardelle, a strategist, executive coach, and trusted advisor to senior leaders who are ready to transform bold visions into measurable results. With over 30 years of experience in leadership development, continuous improvement, global operations, and strategic planning, I specialize in helping organizations navigate complexity, clarify priorities, and implement strategies that create lasting impact.
​
As the founder of On To The Next One Consulting, my goal is to help organizations succeed. I equip leaders with tools, insights, and confidence to drive meaningful change. My signature Strategic Visioning Experience™ and 4D Improvement Cycle™ enable executives to align their teams, strengthen organizational culture, and achieve tangible progress within 90 days. Whether I’m coaching leaders, facilitating workshops, or delivering keynote presentations, my goal remains the same—helping organizations build stronger teams, enhance performance, and serve their communities with excellence.
​
Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply committed to service and leadership. You’ll often find me mentoring future trailblazers, giving back through my sorority—Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, or volunteering at Light of the World Christian Church. When I’m not strategizing or speaking, I’m cherishing time with family and friends—because success isn’t just about work; it’s about impact.
​Let’s connect and move your organization forward—one strategic step at a time.
