Performane Coaching for corporate individuals and teams and private clients
My clients clearly demonstrate the many benefits they gain as well as the powerful end results they achieve as a result of my coaching programmes. Here are just a few recent examples:
Rachel's workshop based on the 'Seven Success Principles' was energising and practical. It was very professional and well presented, providing me with some real insights and a great resource pack. I can now put into place new strategies to develop my business, stay focused and create more time for myself. I couldn't have asked for a better result.

Working with Rachel has given me a lot more confidence about my future plans and vision for my business. The workshop helped me to create an action plan that I can apply immediately. It was exactly what I needed to increase my focus and look at specific details, as well as the bigger picture. Excellent ideas and strategies!

"The opportunity to work with Rachel was enlightening. It was fun, but with the serious intent to improve my professional performance and create clear life goals. Various techniques, interventions and resource materials were used to support me to achieve and exceed my targets. I have come a long way - I'm more confident, especially when leading meetings and I'm doing my job better. I'm more disciplined in how I manage my time, which helps me to plan and review.
I have a greater feeling of wellbeing and feel in control. It was very successful in reducing my stress levels and raising my self-awareness. I continue to use many of the techniques on a daily basis and have changed my way of working and living, so ensuring future success."

“When I first met up with Rachel, I was struggling to balance being a mum and partner, while working part-time and running a business. I had lost my enthusiasm, energy and motivation. Together we took a holistic look at my lifestyle and then focused on the areas, which I was most concerned about.
Rachel enabled me to set my own goals by challenging and questioning me while at the same time providing gentle guidance. She has a great ability to listen, understand and encourage and her calmness instantly makes you feel comfortable enough to discuss in confidence both personal and professional issues.
By breaking down my aims into manageable steps, I was able to achieve my outcomes, become less stressed, more balanced and in control of my life. She provided a ‘toolkit’, which will be useful for life and she also helped me to realise my own potential. With an enthusiastic, positive approach, added to maturity and life experience with a measure of refreshing humour, I can strongly recommend Rachel’s invaluable support if you want to invest in you.”

“When I heard about Rachel’s coaching sessions I leapt at the chance to take part. I felt that I was at a crossroads in my life, trying to decide whether to take up full time employment or whether to concentrate on my artistic endeavours.
Meeting Rachel was like a breath of fresh air. She talked me through a series of questioning processes by which I was able to determine priorities and goals to help me with my decision. I was impressed by her questioning technique and Rachel always managed to help me get to the root of each topic.
Rachel was always very well prepared for each session, which seemed to follow on in a logical progression and at all times she had a very caring and supportive manner. I found it easy to talk to her, even when we explored delicate issues. I felt that she went out of her way to help me.
Thanks to her goal-setting programme I embarked on a comprehensive series of actions which helped me to understand exactly what it was that I wanted and needed to do. As a result, my horizons broadened and my progress has been greatly speeded up.
My output at the end of eight sessions has been fantastic and the improvement in my work has been marked. I am very grateful to Rachel for the confidence she has given me to step up and accept my role as an artist and it has been a privilege to work with her.”
