Experience in one to one coaching


As a coach, Rachel has supported over 50 primary and post-primary principals and 15 ISM teams. Rachel understands that every school and individual is different and she is committed to supporting principals to be authentic and effective as leaders by being more of, not less of, themselves.

Principals working with Rachel have found this approach very helpful in understanding how best to use their individual strengths and shift personal stumbling blocks to effectively influence, negotiate, motivate, implement change, manage complex stakeholders, enjoy work, and have a rich life outside it.

Team coaching is very liberating for ISM teams. Rachel creates a psychologically safe environment for important conversations and applying new skills to achieve significant results for schools.

Workplace resilience is an area of particular passion for Rachel, developing capacity to adapt to daily pressures and thrive in situations, which can be difficult or seemingly impossible.

Rachel’s style is to really listen and encourage her clients to draw on their own thinking and resources. For many, coaching provides a unique space to step back and think, to talk out what’s in their head in order to find the best way forward.

Her clients include leaders and teams in Government Departments, County Councils, State Bodies, School Governance Bodies, Irish and international companies.

Rachel worked previously in assessment, development and recruitment across the public and private sector.
