I was my own first client.
A few years ago, I had my second daughter, went back to work, and quietly lost myself. Not in some dramatic way, I still showed up, still got it all done. But the version of me that used to be hungry, with plans and momentum and a clear sense of where she was headed, was no longer in site, and I wasn’t sure how to reignite that ambition.
So I started giving myself what I now give my clients: dedicated time, every week, to focus on what I was looking for in my career, and charting out the path to get there.
I didn't set out to build a business. But inadvertently, I was my own first client. Accelerating my own career, and earning a seat at the executive table, showed me it is possible to have a family, a full life and be ambitious in my career, and I wanted to help other women get there too.
Coaching with me is conversational, focused, and honest. I ask questions that get underneath what's actually driving the problem, and will name what I'm seeing.
Most engagements begin with a three-month commitment, meeting every other week. Because making progress on something as significant as a new business, a career move, or the next stage of what you've already building requires time and consistency. We start off with a discovery call to understand where you’re at, your roadblocks and what you’re trying to achieve. From there I’ll create a custom engagement plan to help you get where you’re trying to go.
Each session starts with reviewing your plan and discussing what's on your mind. We work through it together, and you leave with something concrete to act on before we talk again. By the end of three months, you're not just seeing progress against your goals, you’re becoming consistent with your plan and it becomes something you can carry forward independently, if you choose.

"I'd been in my career for years and knew I wanted something different. I worked with Rachael for six months, and during this time she helped me narrow down what I was looking for in my next role. Once that became clear, she completely changed my frame on how transferable my skill set was, which gave me the confidence to start applying for jobs in a new field. I ended up getting the role, and I attribute much of that to Rachael's ability to zoom me out where I was too narrowly focused, and map out the bigger picture of how I was both qualified for, and could land, this new job."
