Meet Rachel
Hey! I’m Rachel. Yep, still me. A bit more about me before I get to know you…
I love connection— whether it’s with a colleague, client, or a conversation I listen to on a podcast. Beyond conversation, I like finding people the right place to connect to the resources or support they need — it’s a thrill just like finding the correct puzzle piece is.
I like to identify and celebrate small and big wins. Sometimes the best we have to give is actually very little, but it is worthy of investigation, honour, and practice.
I believe in people. Over and over, people keep proving to be more courageous, more creative, and more interesting than I could have imagined.
