Bio
Nathalie Agnew FCIPR
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. There was even talk of the "Rachel effect"! Participants also reported strong benefits to their confidence and clarity around the future from their two 1-2-1 coaching sessions with Rachel. I highly recommend Rachel for both corporate PD partnerships or personal coaching engagements, she’s fantastic!

Rachel presented the awards at The Wedding Industry Awards National Awards Event and did an absolutely fantastic job. Prior to the presentation itself Rachel did a 15 minute talk that perfectly combined the world of 24 hour fast-paced News with the issues facing wedding suppliers when it comes to communicating with their audience on social media and beyond. Interesting, informative and inspirational. Most importantly, Rachel took time to fully understand the event audience and tailored her talk precisely. Needless to say that her presentation skills are second to none. Rachel's ability to read a script whilst appearing to be composing her words 'off the cuff' works perfectly when presenting an awards. Rachel's experience and expertise in this regard is second to none. Finally, Rachel is an absolute delight to work with. Professional, fun and engaging. I would not hesitate to work with her again or to recommend her to others.
