Rock that transition

Throughout our lives we face change and transition. At work and at home, these transitions can be opportunities to expand our thinking, achieve more than we ever expected, and actively choose our paths – especially with the right advocate at our side.

Professional Coaching Leadership Development Facilitation I want to create a smooth transition

Work in harmony

We are each part of many tribes, at home, at work, and in our communities, and we are hungry for collaborative relationships within those spaces. All our interactions and meetings can lead to creative, expansive and effective outcomes – especially with the right facilitator holding that space.

A global perspective

I’ve always been fascinated with human behavior and this curiosity has taken me all over the world. From Armenia to Zimbabwe, for over 25 years I have applied Leadership Development tools and experiences to support people and organizations improve, grow, and progress. My work with individuals, teams, and businesses of all sizes has helped me develop an integrated approach – including coaching, facilitation, organizational development, change management, and brain-based problem solving – that results in productive, effective, engaged human beings.

“Rachel, you gave me to tools I needed to really shift how I have been managing my team, they are still surprised by that (I think in a good way). I have been blessed by you and your coaching.” J.K. ~ Nairobi, Kenya

About Rachel

Informed by science, inspired by humanity

We have the power to transform how we think, perform, and relate to others. The recent explosion of research, studies, and insights into applied neuroscience (and particularly brain elasticity) lead to one fact: human beings are instinctively wired to connect.  With brain-based coaching, my clients learn how to self-regulate; how to manage their stress, their work-life balance, and their impact. They begin to think more effectively and deepen their personal and professional effectiveness, which leads to more collaborative workplace relationships, enhanced problem solving, creativity, and integration in the workplace and at home.

“You helped me see how, when I was stressed out (ok, freaking out) at work, my thinking, rational, organized executive function was actually “off-line”!  I love the practical ways you gave me to bring it back on-line so I felt like I had more control.  Working with you has changed how I feel about this job.” S.B. ~ Boston, MA

Travel further by traveling together

The road to becoming a better leader is not a quest to take in isolation. Leadership requires connection and support from someone who has your best interests at heart.  My clients know that I am there next to them when they have a difficult conversation at work, when they embark on a new creative venture, when they give a big presentation.  They name their saboteurs, define their core values, and know they don’t have to hurdle their roadblocks alone. I journey with them and show them how to make intentional choices to create a better life within the realities of the day-to-day world.

"Working with Rachel has been a breath of fresh air – getting me to think outside of my own biases. Our relationship has enabled me to make multiple big changes from moving to changing jobs – something I desperately wanted. I’m forever grateful.” AM.H. ~ Atlanta, GA
