Testimonials

“Working with Rachel was a turning point for me. She brought a rare mix of honesty, insight, and genuine care that built real trust and pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t know I needed. Her unvarnished truth, paired with her ability to see people clearly, helped me develop deeper self-awareness and more confidence in how I lead and make decisions. Coaching with Rachel wasn’t a check-the-box exercise. It was a meaningful partnership that continues to influence how I show up professionally and personally. If you’re truly ready to improve and open to the process, there’s no one better to have in your corner.” 

“Rachel has a way of getting to the heart of the matter. Her ability to see beyond the obvious and her willingness to ask the difficult questions required for real change and lasting transformation set her apart from other coaches and consultants. Rachel doesn’t put the band-aid on, she helps to take it off! The fact that she can do this with gentleness and humor makes working with Rachel rewarding and even fun. Rachel believes in each person’s innate ability to discover their own path, and she is not pushy or parental. I love talking to Rachel. Whenever I feel stuck, she is the first person I want to reach out to for help.”  

“Working with Rachel gave me new perspectives that expanded how I see myself and my leadership. Her objective, disarming style created a space where I could bring any issue forward and uncover solutions through deeper insight rather than prescriptions. The questions she asked opened angles I had never considered, building clarity and confidence that elevated how I lead my team and organization. Our work together not only strengthened my leadership, it continues to influence how I navigate challenges every day.” 

“If you’re looking for a “check-the-box” exercise, Rachel is not the coach for you. However, if you genuinely want to transform your leadership, and you’re willing to do the work, Rachel is the partner you want. Rachel’s superpower is the ability to cut through the fluff, identify priorities, and tailor the coaching based on your specific goals. You will gain perspective and practical approaches to create lasting change.”

“Working with Rachel, I transformed my leadership from being a firefighter to being a more strategic, effective, and people-centered leader. Her open, thought-provoking questions and collaborative style helped me uncover blind spots, build on my strengths, and create meaningful growth both professionally and personally. Rachel is not a consultant who tells you what’s wrong, she’s a true coach and mentor who helps you arrive at real, workable solutions. My relationships, results, and leadership have all become stronger because of our work together, and I’m genuinely grateful for the lasting impact she’s had on my life and career.”

“Working with Rachel transformed not only my leadership, but the future of our organization. She helped me unlock my intellect with humility and humanity, guiding me toward a level of vulnerability that ultimately made me a stronger, more effective leader. Her calm, patient approach created the space I needed to find my own answers, develop new skills, and lead with clarity. The growth I experienced through our work together directly contributed to a turnaround that brought our company back to strength—and that impact will stay with me as part of my legacy.”

“Get ready to look at the truth. Rachel’s directness cuts through self-deception and echo chambers, providing a unique and valuable perspective. She focuses on asking questions, not providing easy answers. Rachel helps you discover your own solutions, adapt and develop your communication, and build confidence through strengthening your unique leadership style.” 

“Rachel listens deeply and is flexible in her approach. While she has many tools in her toolkit, she offers options that demonstrate keen insight, tailored to what she observes, hears and learns about the person and their context (rather than relying on a cookie cutter approach). Rachel helped our operational leader get clear on his strengths and passions, then think through how he wanted to steer his career to best leverage those and give him the greatest satisfaction and success. It was very impactful not just for him, but for everyone around him.”

“Working with Rachel gave me the unbiased perspective I needed to grow as a leader. Her style is direct but thoughtful. She challenges you in a way that gets you out of your own head and helps you see situations from every angle. As a result, I’ve become calmer, more methodical, and more intentional in how I show up, both in the moment and after. If you’re willing to be open and truly engage, coaching with Rachel can be one of the most impactful investments you make in your career.”

“Rachel builds a true partnership through her deep curiosity, strategic approach, and passion for helping leaders become even more successful. “

“Rachel is someone who speaks the truth in a caring way. She was very adept at adjusting her style and interaction in order to provide the best environment for me to assess my current state and work toward the improvements I desired. She was always practical and willing to hold me accountable. I loved the reading recommendations she provided and wholeheartedly recommend Rachel as a fantastic coach.”

“Rachel is a coach who understands that a leader is a whole
person, not only focused on work. Maintaining that holistic approach
with her clients provides an opportunity for them to grow in areas that
can help them reach both their career goals and also grow as a person.
Overall, it was an excellent experience.”

“I worked with Rachel for several months during a transition in my
career. She …focused on practical tools and methods that got the
quickest results!  Rachel used a combination of excellent questioning,
recommended reading, “homework” and personal accountability to
help me understand exactly what I wanted out of a new and challenging
position.  We identified and explored where there were real issues that I
needed to address and where I needed to simply “let go”.  She worked
with me to define plans of action to improve my relationship with
leadership as well as my ability to effectively lead my new team.  And
when an opportunity arose for me to advance to a higher level of
responsibility, she helped me understand how to negotiate what I wanted
from this opportunity.  I credit Rachel for helping me make this new
position successful and fulfilling.“

“With Rachel’s coaching, I have become a more effective communicator with my executive leadership team. She helped me establish an actionable communication plan that is direct and a complete 180 from my natural communication style. As a result, I have my executive team’s attention with real tangible commitment of resources that enables my effectiveness as a leader in my organization. It was great working with her and time well spent.”

“What truly sets Rachel apart is her commitment to understanding the unique dynamics of an organization and tailoring her approach accordingly.”

“I can tell you very easily the value Rachel brings. It’s about
trust. I trust that when I speak with her it’s always completely
confidential, and that’s number one. Secondly, Rachel has rarely (if
ever) offered me an opinion/advice. She always gets that out of my head,
and it always feels like I’m the one fixing my own issues; although I
never feel like I could get there without her poking around in my head.”

“Rachel is the coach you either needed and didn’t realize it, or knew it and found her! I have known and worked with Rachel for almost 10 years. I have recommended and worked with her in every organization I have worked with, both for individual and team coaching opportunities. I have also consulted with her as a valued thought partner regarding people development strategies. Rachel’s ability to quickly connect, understand and embrace the individual or teams she is working with is truly inspiring. She brings a depth of knowledge, empathy and value to every coaching opportunity presented. Rachel’s company website says “Let’s connect….” I encourage you to connect. You will not be disappointed.”
