"Rachel is an exceptional coach. She is able to connect deeply to understand and guide individual leadership growth. She designs actionable techniques to help move you forward towards goals, in ways that are easily adapted into every day. Embarking on my first executive leadership role, Rachel's coaching has been an invaluable support tool, building confidence and helping me grow into my new Executive role."
"I came to coaching with Rachel at a point where I was technically very capable but starting to recognise that the next level of my career required something different from me as a leader. Rachel has a rare ability to get to what's actually going on quickly, without it feeling like an interrogation. She's direct, warm, and deeply practical. The questions she asked in our sessions stayed with me long after we finished, and the way I think about my role and my team genuinely shifted. I'd recommend her to any senior leader who's ready to do the real work."
"Rachel coached me through one of the more demanding periods of my career as a CEO, and the experience was unlike any coaching I'd had before. She has an exceptional ability to hold the complexity of what it means to lead an organisation while also keeping you grounded in what actually matters. She's rigorous without being rigid, and she brings a kind of hard-won wisdom from her own years of senior leadership that most coaches simply don't have. I came away from our work together with more clarity, more confidence, and a much better relationship with how I make decisions under pressure."
You spent years mastering your instrument. Now you need to become the conductor.
The ability to stay grounded under pressure. To make good decisions in ambiguity. To hold people accountable while caring for them. To lead in a way that is substantive, supportive, and sustainable.
These are skills, and they can be built.
Most of the leaders who come to work with me are not struggling because they lack capability. They are struggling because the operating model that made them excellent is no longer fit for what the role now requires. They hold everything together. They look like they have it. Privately, they are not sure it is sustainable.
The gap between how we see ourselves and how we actually operate is where most leadership problems begin. Research from Tasha Eurich (Harvard Business Review, 2018) found that 95% of people believe they are self-aware. Studies suggest only 10 to 15% actually are. AI is the most confident entity in the room. It never hesitates. It always has an answer. The human who can say "that answer is technically correct but wrong for this moment" is the person with the real advantage.
That is the work we do together.
Who this is for
You have achieved a lot. But something isn't translating. You are excellent at what you do, and you know it, but the gap between that and how you actually show up as a leader is getting harder to ignore. You want to close it.
You have built something real. Now the challenge is not growth, it is people. You have moved from doing the work to leading the work, and that shift is harder than you expected.
You were brilliant at your craft and got promoted for it. Now you are leading a team and quietly wondering if everyone can tell you are figuring it out as you go. You do not need another book. You need tools that work in your actual situation.
You have just stepped into your first senior role. You are excited and capable, but you are realising that leading at this level asks something completely different of you. You want to build confidence fast, without faking it.
Why work with me
I've been in the room during large, complex, global organisational transformation.
At Shopify I led through three of these. First, their incredible expansion during the Covid expansion of online retail. Second, their complete adoption of remote-first work, when most of the world were still heading back to the office. Third, the AI rollout, which remains one of the most comprehensive and all-encompassing, with two years of lessons learned on a path that most organisations are just starting now.
I know what it feels like to lead under great pressure. To make hard calls without a playbook. To build high-performing teams across cultures and time zones. To hold accountability and care at the same time.
I am an accredited coach and a trained mediator. My approach draws on Integral Coaching methodology, neuroscience, and 25 years of real experience in what actually works when the pressure is on.
I work with a small number of coaching clients at any one time. That is deliberate.
How we can work together
The most powerful way to work together: the coaching goes deep, the advisory goes wide, and the two reinforce each other in real time. The coaching focuses on who you are as a leader, how you think, how you show up under pressure. The advisory addresses the real, urgent, tactical challenges landing on your desk right now.
Two one-on-one coaching sessions per month, grounded in Integral Coaching methodology. Identity-level work, not just behavioural. We focus on what matters most to you: presence, confidence, hard conversations, how you lead under pressure. Every session is rooted in your real situation. Most clients extend to six or twelve months.
Practical tools and frameworks you can use today. Straight answers to real problems. Someone who has been in the room at scale and knows what actually works. For leaders moving fast who want access to someone who helps them think clearly and act decisively, without the lag of figuring it out alone.
All packages: 3-month minimum commitment. Extensions available at 6 and 12 months at reduced monthly rates.
Ready when you are
No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation to understand where you are and whether working together makes sense.
