I, like a lot of leaders, have struggled at times to communicate effectively with teams and individuals I work with. I have found it challenging to juggle all of the desired outcomes of communication while leading groups with diverse perspectives and lived experiences. I want them to feel valued and appreciated but also understand the needs of a respective business and address those needs with a sense of urgency. Rachel's coaching helped me see and understand that my priority for communication must be in the way that I deliver my perspective and my intent. And to stop fixating on how a message delivered with the best of intentions would be received. She worked with me on the destructive inner chatter that can muddy the waters of my communication and lead to self-conscious delivery and second-guessing. I appreciated her in-depth approach, active role-playing, and exposure to a wide variety of methods and exercises that were used throughout the course to help me communicate more confidently. I am sure I will use many of the tools Rachel used to coach me throughout my career as I improve my own communication and help others do the same. After working with Rachel, I feel so much more aware of how I want to communicate and so much more well-equipped to communicate in a way that aligns with my values as a person and as a leader. I would recommend Rachel as a coach for anyone who feels like they would like to communicate more confidently and clearly while also maintaining their sense of humanity with their colleagues.
