Coaching is for people with lots of potential, who, for one reason or another, are not realising it. Coaching helps to identify and deal with blocks to fulfilment and success.

Coaching is a series of one-to-one confidential meetings where the client sets the agenda. It’s all about goal setting. It’s not about delving into the past but focusing on the future. It’s about dealing with the whole person; the private and professional, because neither works in isolation.

Some of the typical themes people bring to coaching are:

• Sharpening thoughts and ideas in the face of a personal or professional challenge
• Making difficult decisions
• Improving work relationships
• Career progression
• Dealing with the changes that a new job or promotion can bring
• Finding a better work-life balance
• Returning to work after a career break

Clients have said:

"There's a warmth and lightness of touch to way that Rachel works. But at the same time she challenges you and makes you focus on the big important questions. As a result of working with her I'm much better equipped to take on the next phase of my life."
Paul, Director of an independent research and strategy consultancy

"Rachel’s wise and patient approach to coaching me and the team through the planning period of More4 undoubtedly contributed to the highly successful launch of the channel.  The channel team cohered in an unexpected and really rewarding way and Rachel, in no small part, contributed to this."
Peter Dale, Head of More 4, Channel 4 TV.

"I find Rachel really easy to open up to, as a result I have been able to explore and implement ways to improve challenging relationships! Rachel has also supported me with some valuable team development work, helping to provide clarity on our vision and values as a team."
Andrea Anderson, Head of HR & Training, ASOS.com.

“What I liked about Rachel's one-to-one coaching was that in each session we dealt with specific issues and problems and found solutions. She gets to the heart of a problem very quickly and doesn't pussyfoot around."
Dorothy Byrne, Head of News & Current Affairs, Channel 4 TV.

"Rachel coached me through a career transition with great skill and perception, helping to clarify my real motivations and goals by cutting through a lot of ‘woolly’ thinking. Her approach is down-to-earth, accessible and very effective."
Simon Harrison, Account Director, Innovation, Comic Relief.

“Rachel was my coach when I worked at Channel 4. She offered me personal, supportive coaching that helped me define my aims and aspirations, and put them in the context of my role at C4. It was a long way from the regimented HR support which I was expecting - more of a conversation with an expert. By the end of our coaching, I was able to articulate my personal career goals with clarity. After I left Channel 4, this clarity helped me enormously as I negotiated post-employment life. Since leaving Channel 4 I've produced a film and set up my own production company, winning support from the BBC, Arts Council England, and NESTA. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rachel for coaching."
Alex Fleetwood, Producer, Hide and Seek.
