Biography //
Rachel’s road to leadership and team development began on retiring from the Great British Rowing Team in the late 1990s. During her time in the team she experienced the taste of high performance as part of a several crews, medalling at two world championships.
However it was the disappointment of one of her crews not performing that ignited her interest and subsequent career in discovering and enabling what it truly takes to reach and sustain our full potential as an individual, team, organisation or community.

Rachel now predominantly works with Executive teams where she loves the challenge of bringing under-performing or problematic teams together.

I thrive on seeing people, teams and organisations flourish; re-awakening talents and ambition from within in-turn enabling them to achieve more than they ever thought possible.”
