Elevate your leadership through strengths-based self-leadership development to stay relevant & visible.

ELEVATE

YOUR

LEADERSHIP

Leadership coaching & development that helps mid-career leaders and their teams upgrade how they operate—at work and in life—so people and performance can thrive.

Strong leadership begins with strong self-leadership—how you lead yourself shapes how you lead others.

Together, we upgrade how you and your team operate by blending CliftonStrengths®, practical strategy, and research-informed coaching so you stay relevant and visible.

What you’ll notice quickly:

  • Faster, clearer decisions

  • Reclaimed time and energy

  • Clearer goals and priorities

  • Lower stress and stronger engagement

The Approach: People-First, Strengths-Led

Why this work matters right now

Most of the leaders I work with are in the messy middle—responsible for people, priorities, and results on all sides. Roles shift, expectations expand, and yet how you work rarely gets an intentional update.

Over time, outdated habits and unspoken expectations drain your energy, blur your boundaries, and quietly impact how you show up at work and at home.

For many leaders, that looks like:

  • Constantly jumping between urgent requests with little space to think, plan, or breathe

  • Being the go-to problem-solver for everyone while your own development keeps getting pushed aside

  • Carrying stress home—mentally replaying the day instead of actually resting or being present

Our work together is about updating your operating system. We use your natural strengths, practical strategy, and whole-life support to redesign how you lead yourself and others, so you and those around you can thrive without burning out.

Hi, I’m Rachel

I’m a leadership coach, facilitator, and strategic partner for growth. I help mid-career leaders (Sr. Manager to VP) stay relevant and visible, while protecting what matters, by leading with clear priorities, confident decisions, and calm under pressure. I’ve lived the realities of the messy middle—managing up and down in corporate and owner-operator teams, navigating shifting priorities, and keeping life outside of work moving.

My approach blends CliftonStrengths®, practical strategy, and research-informed coaching to create simple, effective, strengths-aligned ways of working. We use what you naturally do best to make the right work easier, progress is visible, and energy lasts beyond the workday.

At the core is self-leadership. Before you lead a team, you first lead yourself, through your attention, energy, boundaries, and beliefs. Together, we build practices that steady you under pressure and set the tone for those around you: clearer communication, confident decisions, healthy limits, and consistent follow-through.

I partner with individuals and organizations through 1:1 coaching, small-group coaching, facilitated workshops, and ready-to-use tools that are designed to help you and your team work better without adding noise.

Based in Minnesota, I work with leaders across the U.S. in virtual and hybrid settings.
