Leaders, having achieved much success in their chosen field, often find themselves grappling with the people management component that accompanies their success. We identify and hone in on specific issues, and through a focussed process of self-reflection and decisive action enable our leaders to achieve their goals and ambitions.
Untreated mental health conditions cost Australian workplaces approximately $10.9 billion a year. Conversely organisations with positive wellbeing cultures experience gains in staff retention, productivity and customer satisfaction, as well as attracting great talent! We support businesses to do just that through individual and group wellbeing coaching, facilitation and development programmes.
We empower individuals to build on existing strengths and face their career challenges. By identifying the elements which may be hindering career progression – such as interpersonal style, communication, self-confidence etc. – we tailor a solution focussed approach to overcome the barriers.
Communicative, open and transparent teams are those which prosper and flourish. We facilitate groups to become cohesive teams by introducing optimum ways of working, and enabling them to develop effective behavioural systems, thus propelling them towards success.
During a critical time in the business Rachel supported me to make significant decisions. She skilfully challenged my thinking, reframed my approach and improved my focus on the myriad of issues facing me. Ultimately the coaching improved my ability to achieve my objectives, deliver results and manage effectively.

Over a few short months Rachel took me on a compelling decision making journey. With her support I effectively explored key business issues, evaluated my strategies and aligned them with my own values. It gave me the confidence to make decisive changes with significant impact – I am a much better leader for having used Rachel and her coaching sessions.
Mark, GM banking sector, Sydney
During a very intense project I worked closely with Rachel to enhance my people leadership capability. She helped me critically analyse my own behaviour, see my ‘blind spots’, and make the changes required in order to inspire and motivate those around me. The coaching results were tangible – they propelled me towards my personal potential and helped transform my key working relationships.

You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.

Between the stimulus and response, there is a space and in that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
