She has a quick wit and fabulous ability to create analogies that are at once hilarious and cut to the essence.”

“Rachael’s guidance and patience gave me the critical thinking and confidence to move forward. She exuded care and attentiveness to everything I say, takes it apart, and has me put the pieces back together to see a perspective that may have always been there. She turned my mindset of ‘if’, ‘maybe’, and ‘try to’ into action, allowing me to create a sense of self and use that mindful confidence to take control of the things that impact my life.”

—  Joey H., Executive Chef, Vancouver Island

“Rachael is an incredible and intuitive executive coach. Her style is somewhere between fostering and facilitating an outcome, which doesn't sound like a huge difference, but it's that sweet spot where she can make the magic happen. More than enthusiasm, Rachael brings allyship to the table. Her acumen, which is not limited to any one domain, and her creativity fuel that allyship and has created a unique partner in my life where I can share and grow. Working with Rachael, I have made choices I'm so proud of, done work that I did not know I could, and created wise boundaries - all the while keeping my enthusiasm well stoked.”

— Jac Reid, Head Of Strategy + Creative anderson pigeon, Ottawa CA

“Working with Rachael is really frustrating (in a good way)! She held me accountable, pushed me, and supported me in getting uncomfortable and exploring my whys. She is very direct and has the experience to back it up. When all I wanted was an answer she made me look inward and find it for myself. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Rachael!”

— Ryan Haren, Corporate Jet Captain / Coach / Aviation Consultant - Vancouver, BC

“Our society needed to transform our staffing structure to align with organizational changes, and our Board of Directors had to lead the transformation and feel connected to the outcomes. Rachael engaged our Board to understand the core issues and led a set of interactive sessions with a firm but gentle balance of instruction and listening. She ensured that the Board and staff had a clear knowledge of the issues for them to co-create a strategy to adapt to change.”
