Purpose, Leadership & Career Coaching
As a leadership and career coach I help you maximise your career fulfilment and potential, elevate your leadership impact and provide your greatest value to your people and the business.
"Being on a journey with Rachael is like standing in front of a mirror with a warm hand on my shoulder. Rachael listens intently to every word and takes nothing for granted. She searches for gaps in my facade and wonât let me walk away from where she knows I need to go. And when I get there, she is right by my side. Rachael is direct but kind. She is bold but nurturing. And simply, she makes it her business to see people discover their best selves.Â

1. Let's elevate your leadership
Together we'll explore the MAD Leaders framework of elevating YOU, your leadership capability and your career.
In our sessions weâll focus on the following outcomes:
- Weâll get clear on your goals and develop a plan to provide you and your team with direction and focus
- Youâll get fast-paced, thorough and easy-to-implement guidance on fundamental topics including building teams and a high performing culture, running effective one-on-one sessions, planning out your leadership calendar, managing up and building your brand
- If itâs of value we'll unpack your thought leadership so you can develop a career built on your unique strengths and passions
- Weâll work on shifting your mindset to move past any âstucknessâ or confusion to feel bolder and more confident â weâll work through your challenges, fears and big decisions at your own pace
- Iâll remind you about your other priorities such as balance, wellbeing and family so you donât lose sight of the bigger picture
- Iâll challenge and stretch you whilst holding you accountable
2. Let's elevate your career
Strategic career planning is important for everyone, whether youâre feeling confused or lost, at a turning point or wanting to make the next 10 years really count.
In these sessions we'll focus on four key outcomes (in addition to any specific individual support required):
- Consciously owning and driving your career development, planning, influencing, managing up and building networks
- Aligning your career and brand with your passions and natural strengths for maximum engagement, fulfilment and sense of purpose
- Building self awareness, clarity and confidence
- A clear vision and plan for your personal and professional future that inspires you, aligns to who you are and what you want and provides you with certainty and focus
I love helping people thrive...
Over many years I've supported thousands of leaders and staff across small and large businesses to build their capability and plan their careers.

"Through coaching sessions with Rachael I have been able to quite quickly achieve clarity and a sense of purpose around what my goals are. This has made it a lot easier to make decisions on where I should be focussing my time and what career decisions I should make. The clarity has provided a sense of relief by taking away the ânoiseâ. I would not have achieved this without Rachael providing guidance and gently challenging and interrogating my thinking."

"Just a quick note to let you know how much we appreciated and enjoyed your presentations at our recent WCN networking breakfasts. You might be interested to know that at the May breakfast we had a record attendance with over 160 guests and that you are the first speaker we have asked back due to such an overwhelming interest. The response has been phenomenal and the evaluation forms 100% positive! You will be a tough act for others to follow. "

"We recently engaged Rachaelâs services to facilitate a series of interactive workshops held throughout Australia for our Women in Mortgage Broking Network members resulting in tremendous success, positive feedback and delighted workshop participants. Rachaelâs warm and energetic style not only engaged our audiences but left them wondering where the time had gone and wanting more! She has an extremely genuine and passionate approach to sharing her insights and encouraging others to reach their true potential â whatever that may be. Rachael comes highly recommended by our Network and PLAN Australia as a business."
Jenny Stewart

"Working with Rachael has been truly fulfilling. Being a bit of a sceptic of coaching and not really enjoying opening up, I was very unsure of what I was letting myself into. My worries were very quickly dismissed. Rachael is analytical, yet warm and she is incredibly real. Her own business acumen and general life experience all make for such well rounded coaching sessions. I always leave our sessions recharged mentally and motivated to succeed in achieving my goals and be the best I can be."
