Desiree Petrich

Hi! I'm Desiree, I left my management position in Healthcare in 2021 after 10 years in the field, to follow my dream of growing myself, and helping others to develop into the person and leader they want to be. I now get to share the message of personal development, growth and leadership with those around me, to help set individuals up for success in their homes, at work and in their relationships.

I truly believe that both personal and professional success lies in our ability to create happy lives through confidence, kindness, strength, and collaboration. This helps us to overcome adversity, take risks, and lead a life we’re proud to call our own.

WHAT I DO: I help businesses and individuals prepare for opportunities, lead by example, and create self confidence in their ability to set goals and reach them. I do this through teambuilding, leadership development, group coaching and masterminds, keynote speaking, and personality assessments to help teams continue to grow as one.

WHY ME: I help individuals learn what they value about themselves, their team, and their company.
I have built myself up from the bottom in several areas of life. From losing 50 pounds in high school, and learning to maintain it, to starting as a CNA in a nursing home and working my way into a management position at a dementia facility.
I read an average of 70 books per year, and use that knowledge to help educate and add value to others who are looking for a happier life, but don’t know where to start.
I lost my mom in 2022, and found a way to maintain my healthy habits while grieving her loss, and raising a 2 year old and a 2 month old.

Desiree has a true passion for helping others through personal development. I had the pleasure of completing her first six-week course and could not believe the impact it has made on my life. Desiree's ability to lead self-reflection and motivate change is her greatest strength. She has an innate ability to build trust and encouraged a very raw, honest platform of open dialogue. I look forward to learning more from Desiree in the future. Thank you! - City of Marshall

My team had a great experience playing The Leadership Game. It was insightful, challenging, and worth every second. Desiree did a fantastic job of moderating and moving us along, while also pushing for more when she knew there was more. I would 10/10 recommend working with Desiree and Intentional Action – you will learn so much about yourself and your team and you’ll be much better because of it! - Southwest Minnesota State University
