From Our Coaching Clients
”“I worked with Rachael for over a period of 5 months, from shortly after I took on a new role. Rachael was wonderful at getting me to understand where I might be holding myself back and how I could approach situations in a different way. She also got me to focus on forging new habits and routines. A very warm manner and knowledgeable coach. Highly recommended.”
EMILY COXPARTNER, STEWARTS LAW
”"I was introduced to Rachael by a colleague. We both had very different reasons for wanting coaching outside the firm. For me it was very much centred around building confidence, working on my presentation skills and losing the ‘Imposter Syndrome’. I had made a big jump from a boutique to a city firm. I’ve been working with Rachael for around eighteen months now and it’s been a fantastic and successful journey and totally worth the investment. Rachael has equipped me with life changing skills that will stand me in good stead in my current role and beyond."
PAMELA REDDYWHITE COLLAR CRIME & INVESTIGATIONS PARTNER, NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT
”“The sessions with Rachael helped me understand the challenges ahead, understand my network, my stakeholders and myself, as a leader.
Rachael helped me to identify and set out a plan and supported me to take steps to achieve it. My sessions helped me feel confident, prepared and gave me the appropriate tools to manage the challenges ahead.
Rachael's help has been invaluable. Also, she's absolutely lovely to work with, which is the cherry on top of a well rounded mentoring and coaching experience!”

Rachael perfectly combines a structured approach and clear objectives, with empathy and was able to positively challenge my thinking. She has a very clear and personable communication style which I really enjoyed. I would highly recommend working with Rachael and I look forward to our paths crossing again in the future.”

”“Rachael showed great empathy and was a tremendous support during a time of transition. She is professional and structured in her approach, while being interested and open to the whole person. I came away from the coaching sessions with a clear understanding of the process to be deployed and where they could provide a platform for personal development. In addition, I was left with the feeling that I had 'someone on my side' with great knowledge and experience.”

”" I had heard of and seen the legend of Rachael's recruiting work in our company's EMEA legal leadership. Each of the lawyers she has introduced are top notch and wonderful people! But, I had the distinct pleasure of working directly with Rachael recently (May 2021) when she helped me with a critical, senior hire on my team. Her warm, personable approach and extensive legal network and knowledge of the legal roles and market really made the difference in sourcing, recommending and ultimately making a placement. She worked diligently, quickly and effortlessly to resolve a challenging and stressful recruiting situation. I can't thank her enough!'
