Coaching unlocks a person’s potential to maximise their personal and professional growth. When working with Raechel, the discussion gets you to explore deeply what is going on for you now and how you can achieve your future goals and aspirations in a way that works for you, aligned with your values and beliefs.

Coaching is supportive while also being constructively challenging, inviting you to go a little further than before each time we meet and check-in. Life is about navigating ups and downs and achieving the things we want, and engaging in a coaching programme with Raechel will mean you are more likely to not only achieve your goals but get there sooner than you thought possible.

Determining whether coaching fits you best depends on your circumstances, goals, and willingness to invest in personal growth. Coaching is right for you if you seek independent support in achieving specific goals, navigating challenges, or gaining clarity and self-awareness. It is particularly effective if you are open to exploring new perspectives, taking action, and committed to personal development.

Executive coaching thrives when you are receptive to exploring your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for development. Executive coaching will be an excellent fit if you have a growth mindset and are committed to improving yourself as a leader. Also, evaluate your readiness to invest time, energy, and resources into the coaching process – your development requires a certain level of dedication and active participation.

Consider your readiness for change and willingness to participate in the coaching process actively. Ultimately, tee up an initial no-obligation conversation with Raechel – as an experienced master coach, she can provide valuable insights and help you assess whether coaching aligns with your current needs and aspirations.

The duration of a coaching programme can vary depending on your goals and the level of support you require. Typically, coaching programs range from a few months to a year or more. At Raechel's coaching practice, we offer both 6-month and 12-month programs to cater to different levels of experience and responsibility in the organisation.

Our coaching sessions are typically 90 minutes long, providing sufficient time for in-depth exploration, clarity of the issue or opportunity for the session and progress towards achieving the outcome you seek. We understand the importance of flexibility so that sessions can be conducted in person, online, or a combination of both, based on your preferences and location.

The length of our coaching programmes allows for a comprehensive growth journey, allowing sufficient time to set and achieve meaningful goals, overcome challenges, and develop sustainable strategies for success. The duration ensures that you can make significant progress and experience transformative results. Rest assured that we will work together to determine the most suitable program length and session format to meet your unique requirements and maximize your coaching experience.

1. Professional Coaching Certification: Look for coaches who have obtained certifications from reputable coaching organisations such as the International Coaching Community (ICC) or other recognised coaching bodies. These certifications validate the coach's training and adherence to professional coaching standards.

2. Relevant Experience: Consider the coach's experience working specifically with executives and leaders who are at a similar level to you and have worked across a broad range of industries. Understanding the unique challenges and dynamics of the executive role can greatly enhance the coaching process.

3. Track Record of Success: Assess the coach's track record and seek client testimonials. Look for evidence of their ability to facilitate positive change, drive results, and help executives achieve their goals.

4. Coaching Approach and Methodologies: Inquire about the coach's approach and methodologies. Do they have specific coaching models and frameworks that will align with your needs and help you to achieve the outcomes you are looking for?

5. Rapport and Trust: Trust and rapport are crucial in the coaching relationship. Schedule an initial consultation or discovery session to gauge your comfort and connection with the coach. An executive coach should create a safe and supportive environment for open dialogue and personal growth.

An executive coach can significantly benefit your career by providing valuable guidance, support, and strategies for growth. Coaching enhances your leadership skills, identifies and builds on your strengths, and addresses improvement areas, helping you become a more effective and influential leader. These changes are viewed and experienced positively by the organisation, helping you to gain greater visibility.

Raechel works with you to define and clarify your career goals and aspirations so that you can create a strategic action plan to achieve those goals. She will then encourage you to take accountability and keep you on track, ensuring you maximise your potential, achieve your career objectives and thrive in your professional journey.
