Rani Dabrai is a Certified EOS® Implementer and the only one currently based in Ireland. She is a seasoned entrepreneur who started her first business at 25 and went on to lead ventures ranging from a global virtual assistant company to coordinating international trade missions for US governors and senators. After a successful exit, Rani served as Director of the World Trade Centre in Dublin, driving FDI and international trade. She now sits on UNICEF Ireland's advisory council and is a Senior Partner to the Monaco Foundry. In this episode… Understanding what lies beneath the surface of a team is one of the most overlooked aspects of leadership. Missed cues, unspoken frustrations, and unaddressed conflicts can quietly derail growth and morale. How can leaders better "read the room" to unlock stronger communication, trust, and results? Seasoned entrepreneur Rani Dabrai emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence and the ability to tune into what's not being said. Drawing on her entrepreneurial journey — from founding a global virtual assistant company to coordinating international trade missions — Rani highlights the value of identifying gateway products, facilitating difficult conversations, and staying present with her teams. For her, long-term success depends on a leader's willingness to address hard truths, adapt to change, and leverage human connection even in an AI-driven world. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Rani Dabrai, Certified EOS Implementer at EOS Worldwide, about the power of reading the room in business. Rani shares how her upbringing shaped her emotional intelligence, the origins of her concierge company Miss Moneypenny, and how a drug dealer helped her discover her best marketing strategy. She also discusses EOS tools, team accountability, and the human advantage in the AI age.
