What People Are Saying
International School Director, Germany
Our school has used Rachel’s services in the past year from individual coaching support to large group team building training. Rachel has offered versatile coaching approaches which have been tailored to our schools needs and the results have been extremely welcomed and appreciated. Rachel quickly establishes trust and confidence with our staff with her empathetic style, approachability and ability to ask the right questions to find the approach that allows positive reflection and, where possible, resolution. We have seen the benefits of establishing a continuous relationship with her over time and I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to any international school.
J. Tickle, Secondary Principal, Dresden International School
Rachel has worked one-to-one with many of my colleagues as well as with small and large teams in school. Her experienced and empathetic support has helped individuals through their challenges as well as to make our teams more collaborative and psychologically safe. Rachel is a special combination of highly professional but also warmly personable. She 'gets' international school life, so contextual conversations are minimal and it is possible to get to the heart of the matter swiftly. Rachel has also supported me over the past two years, providing tools and strategies to help me thrive through difficult times.
Margaret, International School Director, Eastern Europe
Rachel has coached me through the most challenging time of my working career. Her support, dedication to me and her ability to listen and phrase things to help me move forward, has been invaluable. She challenged me to think critically about my situation, and to be kind to myself while facing circumstances that seemed insurmountable. We laughed about many aspects of the situation, but she also sat with me when I just needed to release my frustrations. When talking to Rachel, I am both supported and safe, as she creates an environment of trust.

Amy, Brand Strategy Manager, USA
It's hard to convey in words how powerful and impactful Rachel's coaching has been in my life for the past few years. She has helped me navigate both career choices as well as personal journeys. Our virtual sessions have truly been like a compass, and her brilliant insight and coaching has helped illuminate the direction of the next right step on the path. Sometimes her suggestions have initially seemed too difficult for me to achieve, however, she communicates and supports in such a way that has given me courage and belief in myself. Plus, she is effective at helping me break bigger initiatives into manageable steps, and she holds me accountable to those steps. I have been blown away with her ability to identify my patterns and ignite meaningful reflection and analysis without any judgment. I also appreciate the many tools she utilises within the coaching sessions. I highly recommend working with Rachel!

Rachel has coached me throughout the last 12 months, guiding me as I navigated the nuisances of my first year of leadership. She has provided a listening ear as I managed changing professional relationships; provided resources to support building staff capacity; and asked questions that clarified my thinking to allow clear goal setting. My work with Rachel has been a game changer.
Annie L, Middle Level leader, Switzerland
Rachel has provided me with support and guidance throughout some difficult and new experiences in my career. Her ability to nurture and advise in a variety of situations has been second to none and enabled me to prosper and face any challenges head on, with a renewed sense of belief in myself. She has challenged me to achieve things I wasn’t sure were possible, all in a safe and open environment.
Simone, International Educator, South Africa
Rachel has taken me through a process which has enabled me to identify specific challenges and helped me work out for myself what course of action needs to be taken. She has helped me to realise that I don’t have to keep on my present path and that other options are available. She is part strategist, part thought provoker, and part cheerleader. And she has a wonderful way of knowing when to invoke these various skills to bring out a clarity of purpose and desire that is often hard to pinpoint on your own. If you are look for someone to confide in and learn from about yourself, your professional skills, your career ambitions, and your potential, look no further than Rachel.
