What People Say
"Rachel is one of the most skilled communicators and facilitators I’ve worked with. Not only is she clear, articulate and engaging, but she also brings natural gravitas, warmth and humanity into everything she does — all of which makes it feel both effortless and rewarding to work with her. Our audiences love her. We do too".
"Rachel provided really valuable professional coaching support to our two Scottish government funded "Returners to Communications" programmes. With a tight deadline, she devised and led two 60-minute group sessions on Confidence and on Your Personal SWOT Analysis, which the returners described as brilliant, engaging and practical."
“Rachel is fantastic - real presence, energy and clarity! It's a thrill to have her presenting our career skills workshops.
Great content, valuable discussions, a lot of interesting points to take forwards and a clear structure to follow.
She created an environment we all felt comfortable in.”

Whether you're eyeing up your next role, looking for new clients or aiming to become a thought leader in your industry, it's time to finally master LinkedIn.
Build a strong professional brand, powerful messaging and an authentic network.

Curious about how I can help you or your team?
Drop me an email at [email protected] with a few lines about the nature and scale of support that's needed, and let's get on a relaxed, no-obligation call.
We can discuss the outcomes you're looking for, I'll tell you what I'd propose and we can see if it's the right fit.
Who do I work with?
I work across industries from technology and finance to FMCG, media and law. What my ideal clients have in common is a genuine commitment to putting their people in the driving seat of their careers and helping them become confident and compelling communicators.
I'm a little irreverent at times and all about keeping things authentic, practical and enjoyable. I like organisations that are serious about career development and professional impact, but not so serious they forget it’s meant to be fun.
At what level?
My sessions can be tailored for graduate joiners, midlevel managers or senior leaders.
Groups generally get smaller the more senior the participants, and I will also work 1-2-1 with individuals on presentation skills and LinkedIn® training.
How do I work?
As a former journalist, my sessions are rigorously researched, beautifully clear, creatively assembled and powerfully presented. My design process always starts with the question every ruthless editor asks their news team - "Why should anyone care about this?!" closely followed by "Now make it interesting!"
As a qualified coach, I create a safe, playful and stretching space for clients to explore, experiment with and expand their own career and communication skillsets.
