Executive Coaching

Powerful Questions. Strategic Insights. Reflection & Results.

Welcome to my coaching practice. I’m glad you’re here!

As a Hudson certified coach, I partner with leaders globally to grow their influence and impact.

My strength is converting research into practical tools my clients can use to advance their leadership and change their lives. I leverage the science of mindsets, resilience and mindfulness, along with theories of adult development, to support my clients. To the best of my ability, I integrate anti-racist, culturally sensitive and intersectional lenses into my work.

I am a masterful listener and ask powerful questions that make you stop and think deeply. I bring two decades of experience listening as a researcher, author and interviewer. I am brave enough to challenge my clients, but always with heart and care. Making people laugh is one of my favorite things to do.

I am known for helping clients navigate change, increase their confidence and executive presence, connect with purpose, and refine their strategic thinking. I am skilled at guiding clients to their growth edge, the place researchers call “desirable difficulty” – that sweet spot where your learning is accessible but challenging. I believe discomfort is a feature, not a bug, of growth – and I am passionate about teaching clients the skills to navigate complexity.

I believe our stories are gateways to insight. I work with the whole person, not just the “work person.” We are complex humans, and how we lead is invariably shaped by all the chapters of our lives.

I am a voracious reader and constantly evolving practitioner. As a member of Cultivating Leadership, I bring with me the resources and insights of my estimable colleagues. I look forward to hearing from you!

Get in touch with me.

I feel very privileged to have had Rachel work with one of my team members in a coaching capacity for 9 months. Her gentle-yet-firm guidance has made a big difference in this employee's life, and even though she has a challenging road ahead of her, I can see that she is much better equipped to handle it now having worked with Rachel.
