I began to realise that I needed some support in my business primarily because I felt ‘lonely’.
I have great team and a board of directors, who of course help support me, but some decisions invariably are only for me to make and its at this point that I need a specific person to help me process my thoughts. Somebody who would challenge my decisions, stress test them, help me formulate better decisions for my buiness and for me personally. I needed to be able to discuss my plans, thoughts for the future, direction of the business into an impartial ear. Somebody who could objectively listen and then help me organise my
thoughts into meaningful actions and this is exactly what Rachel has provided.

The process has been transformative for my working life. The first few sessions were literally
me offloading my worries about the future, concerns for the business; she took my confusion and methodically took me through each of those areas. My tangled thoughts became an action plan. The echo chamber inside my head became organised, calm and no longer full of jumbled thoughts. What’s great about Rachel is she challenges you and that’s
exactly what you need in a business coach. It’s vital not to have someone who agrees with everything you say. She’s transparent and her feedback is honest, and whilst challenging sometimes, it ultimately provides growth and leadership development. I look forward to my sessions with Rachel as its like having an injection of renewed energy, confidence and empowerment. She lifts you up when you’re feeling despondent and she brings calm when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

Rachel’s approach is no nonsense – she has the ability to very quickly get under the bonnet of your business. She has a remarkable ability to quickly understand your specific needs on a personal and commercial level. She comes to each session with new ideas, research and a plan and she puts in a lot of work ahead of each of the sessions.

Rachel is also brilliant at bringing momentum and holds you accountable to what was discussed in your previous sessions whilst also empathetic if more urgent events have superseded plans. Rachel is also fantastic at pivoting very quickly to a new direction – I had a particular HR issue that was urgent which I was able to jump on with no hesitation whatsoever. Her solution seeking approach is invaluable – I don’t think there is anything I could tell Rachel at a session that she wouldn’t be able to deal with there and then. She works through things with you, offering advice without being imposing. She is also happy to be challenged, so it’s a true partnership, as she never forgets that nobody knows their
business better than you.

I have been working with Rachel for a year and a half, and it has been and still is, a transformative experience for both myself and my business. I feel more confident in my decision-making as everything is tested with Rachel. I feel a level of confidence that I haven’t felt before. We’re working through some great projects and we’ve utterly transformed our HR processes and business strategy.

Rachel is a cheerleader, a confident, a challenging mentor, an honest advisor and someone who brings wisdom and understanding. Rachel has walked the walk, which is evident in her advice, she has had a lot of success but, importantly, failures too, so she has an amazing ability to truly empathise with you.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rachel and I would urge anyone who is thinking about using her services to just do it. It’s the best investment you will make for your business, your wider team and for yourself on a personal development level. As business owners and leaders we often think that the struggle and the loneliness is part of our job description – it isn’t. I now know that if I have a situation, decision or worry about any aspect of my business I can bring it to Rachel and together we can work it out. Every problem or challenge has a
solution and Rachel is now my go-to person for any issues. I no longer spend counter- productive time worrying, mulling things over or second-guessing myself and driving myself crazy! I just make a note for discussion with Rachel, which takes away the stress from me. I am now more present at home, I don’t constantly think about work 24/7, Rachel gives you freedom from all of the negative elements of being a business leader.
