I initially reached out for two reasons: to help me transition the People & Culture team at Tipser to a more Agile way of working and to lead a cultural shift to 'conscious candor,' where feedback is given informally and constantly. The 1:1 sessions I had were all extremely relevant and productive. He was great at keeping us focused on the topic while allowing for some valuable side tangents. He is truly skilled at finding the balance of being a sounding board and a coach to help you get real, concrete results where you need them. We even worked through company-wide presentation and workshop agendas, all of which proved very successful and engaging. I left each session feeling like I had clear, concrete action steps to take.

Rachel is very perceptive and a great listener. She asks powerful questions that help everyone around her to understand and align. She coached me in ways that felt supportive and made me feel like she was truly invested in my success and my team's success. She held me accountable and called out bullshit in a way that meant I never felt bad.

I worked with Rachel for several months. Throughout our sessions, in the midst of pandemic uncertainty, Rachel was knowledgeable, easy to talk with, and always prepared with a versatile approach to my needs. I would absolutely work with Rachel again.
