Coaching
Coaching is a rich and thought-provoking learning process. Usually deeper and more reflective than training, the process takes place over a period of months rather than days. By raising awareness and encouraging reflection, different thinking, new approaches and better clarity and confidence can be achieved.
I am a qualified and ICF accredited coach with over 30 years’ experience in the built environment.
Coaching within organisations
Good leadership is vital to the success of organisations. It can differentiate. It can increase profitability and productivity. Even more importantly it can help give real meaning and yes, joy, to those who work there.
In 2024, I undertook a piece of research into ‘shifting attitudes to work and meaning for leaders’. This research highlighted the increased demand placed on leaders, the need for leaders to better understand human behaviours and for them to be equipped to harness the range of styles and motivations in their teams. My work is focused on helping individuals and teams lead confidently and effectively.
Think of me when…
Your leadership team needs support to lead more effectively together
Growth or succession means you need more from your next generation leaders
You’re looking for a bespoke leadership development programme
Or when you or a colleague would benefit from space to reflect and work on your leadership skills or to consider next steps.
Working with private clients
I work with private clients on a 1:1 basis when they’re thinking about, or already in, some kind of transition. This could be a change of role, promotion, retirement or redundancy or a general feeling of being ‘stuck’ or at a crossroads and considering what next.

I have found my coaching experience with Rachel to be extremely valuable.”
