Marketing Leaders Club

“Rachel has been a fantastic coach to work with and has really helped to provide me with clarity and to instil me with confidence. Her gentle and warm approach makes it very easy to talk to her and share things I would often struggle to discuss with those closest to me.

I found her to be intuitive and she quickly found techniques that would work for me to help reframe what I was thinking in a more positive way. I have found this one of the most useful things from our sessions as she helped me to challenge old perceptions that I can now see have been holding me back both personally and professionally.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rachel as a coach or mentor. As someone looking for the next steps in my career following redundancy, her approach alongside her marketing expertise and experience in building her own business has been invaluable in supporting me to build a concrete plan on my next steps with a renewed confidence.”

“I have worked with Rachel over the past few months to support my business development and growth.

The last 18 months during this pandemic has for me like many self-employed individuals created a pause in thought and address what I want for my business and my life and to get a balance between the two.

Rachel used a hybrid of coaching and mentoring to work with me on my challenges and opportunities. This has been a transformational change for me. I have understood what my own barriers to change are, where my strengths lie and crucially it has helped me tackle the imposter syndrome that rears its head every now and again!

Rachel has a wonderfully calm, balancing approach that helps you form the answers for yourself. They were already inside my mind but through discussion and intuitive reflective questions these come to the surface.”

“Rachel is a vastly experienced business owner with a wealth of industry knowledge. She was fantastically helpful and offered a number of invaluable tips, ideas and options on the best way forward. She even gave me some great contacts. Her excellent advice has given me a much-needed boost and the confidence that I can make a success of my business.

I can’t thank her enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a business mentor.”

G, Freelance PR Consultant

“Rachel is a fantastic coach and mentor, she is super supportive and encouraging, helping instil confidence and the feeling that I’ve got this!

She lends a listening ear and gives great advice when I ask for her insights. I would not hesitate to recommend her in a heartbeat.

If  you work with Rachel as your mentor you will instantly gain a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as a loyal advocate who will help you feel ten feet tall!”

Communications Director (Employed)

“You don’t spark ideas and leave me hanging. I really value that you are pragmatic and anchor it down into the ‘so now what’ and give me a clear path for myself of ‘here’s’ what I can do’.

The qualities I value in Rachel as a mentor and coach are that she is intuitive, caring, spiritual, an amazing possibility thinker and fluid/flexible in her approach.

She won’t push you down a route that doesn’t feel right for you. I felt the right balance of safe / challenged / inspiration / action.”

S, Business Owner

“Rachel has been an invaluable help and support in helping me build my business and refine my offerings. I’ve been running my own business for 3 years and while I know I’m good at what I do, have often struggled to communicate to potential customers why they should work with me and what the perfect package of services would looks like.

Rachel has really helped me to build my confidence, refine my service offerings and get my message out there!

She is also an absolute joy to work with!

My business is now thriving and I have a huge amount to thank Rachel for in helping me to create a business I love.”

I, Coach and Consultant

The coaching with Rachel was of huge value to me personally and of course to my employer.

Each of the 1-2-1 sessions I took part in were all very focused on mine and the business’ specific needs – I set the agenda and Rachel was then very flexible during the sessions to draw out specific themes and ideas for how we could go about solving a particular challenge or overcoming an obstacle. Having had no prior experience of ‘coaching’ other than what I had read up myself on in different books, there was a sense of going into the unknown but Rachel was very responsive, attentive and puts you at ease. I was able to put into practice instantly some of the ideas and new ways of working that Rachel and I had discussed and I’m already seeing tangible change happening within our organisation off the back of the coaching sessions. Having a coach who understands the marketing industry is invaluable because the coach isn’t just providing you with blanket techniques to try which may or may not work, we were able to hone in on both personal and marketing specific challenges. The fact I was able to set the tone and agenda for each session was the part I found most valuable because that meant each session was working towards real goals that either I had as an individual or more widely a business objective or in some cases, both.

I’d have no hesitation in saying Rachel will have an impact on you as an individual and also help your business find new ways of thinking.

Head of Marketing, Global B2B Tech Client (Employed)

“Rachel knows marketing and PR inside and out. I can come to her with any problems and the advice she imparts helps me to tackle any challenges head on.

She has a focus on getting the job done no matter what happens and makes effective suggestions I don’t have the time to consider sometimes.

Her knowledge across multiple marketing disciplines is extremely valuable.”

Head of Marketing, Property & Construction (Employed)

“I found my one off training session on awards writing with Rachel really valuable. She guided me through thinking about my business differently, and even helped me consider how I can build on my values to achieve our goals. I found the format easy to follow, and Rachel’s questions and insight has led me to think about different avenues for awards, and I’m trying to implement those things in advance, to make the process easier when it comes to drafting. She’s also a hoot, we had so much fun! Thank you!”
