Rachel Woods Coaching Opiniones 

Hi Rachel

Just wanted to get in contact to provide you with that anonymous review. This way I can be totally honest.

I'm in a networking group and was having a panic attack, the first I have had in a long time. I'm an HR professional with work trauma, since I came back from maternity leave I have had a lot of jobs, the first was great until the HRD I was reporting into left, the day she told me the Finance Director had already decided to outsource half my job, I then began to report into the FD and that's when the micro management started until I literally felt paralysed by my job. I've left a few jobs now with similar experiences and when you are coming back from maternity leave, for me, it was hard to feel confident. Fast forward 3 or 4 jobs and I'm in a new job (nearly didn't go back into HR) and I'm loving the people but I was literally thrown into advising a panel for a long standing case. It's been going on for years, very complex, has already indicated that a move to a tribunal and with a good dose of discrimination chucked in for good measure.

The day before the hearing, I had done so much prep but had had a splitting headache all night, had a panic attack that morning and I started throwing up.

In enters @Rachel Woods in her superhero costume (well she was on the phone but I imagine she has one tucked away somewhere!).

She literally talked me down off the ceiling.

She listened.... but so much more than that, she got it. She's been there, she understands the terminology, the concerns, cultural issues of organisations, management styles, acronyms, politics, employment law, she can empathise, she can feed back if there are gaps, she knows where to find information but she's also got an amazing knowledge of wellbeing, anxiety and had some very entertaining turns of phrase.

She also taught me some great tools for calming down.

Thank you Rachel, honestly it doesn't seem enough.

I'm sorry it had to be anonymous but I'm happy for you to pass anyone on to me as a reference. X

Rachel is very intuitive and asks questions that challenge you to look at other perspectives.
I have sessions with Rachel as part of my coach supervisions and always come away feeling reenergised and focused. She has a great tool kit and makes all sessions constructive, professional but with some humour. I would thoroughly recommend Rachel.

Having supervision with Rachel is excellent. She enables you to open up and be challenged and challenge your own thinking. She comes with great insight and a bag of different tools that gets you to look at things in a different light. It is important for us in the coaching profession to ensure we are always developing and checking that we are delivering services to the benefit of our customers so working with Rachel is very rewarding.

An informal and yet very effective approach to coaching. I was able to disentangle a lot of confused thoughts and plan out my future decision making strategy. I would thoroughly recommend Rachel.

I sought Rachel out at a point where I needed someone to facilitate my thinking around a key career decision. She provides real clarity and insight, asking great questions to make you think and expertly draws out of you the key points to consider. She creates a supportive and safe environment. I was amazed at how quickly she got to the nub of things! Highly recommended.

Rachel provides a safe place in which I can discuss any coaching dilemma’s. Supervision helps me grow and develop through regular challenge from my peers and through Rachel’s sterling facilitation. My clients benefit, as I continue to develop and learn new skills, which I can use with them. I would ask any coach who has yet to experience supervision for themselves, what’s standing in their way and I would advise them to join Rachel as they have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Rachel has an informed and adaptable style, sharing great tools and creating a warm atmosphere that aids supervision even in the virtual setting. Highly recommend!

I heard Rachel speak at a networking event recently; suffice to say she knows her stuff and is very engaging.

I run a yoga business and wanted help bringing a new dimension to my outdoor classes. Rachel listened to what I needed and I spent an invaluable 2 hours in the woods practising mindful walking and observations which I am now able to apply to my own classes. To support this session Rachel helped me step back and look at my business plan and goals for the future. She was objective, supportive and with enough challenge to help me refocus. Thank you Rachel!

Had a series of online resilience workshop with Rachel in the midst of the pandemic in and academic studies in 2020 which helped me to cope with those aspects and changes in life .

Even over Zoom her warm and approachable nature and thoroughness in her preparation for each workshop shone through .

Rachel is awesome. Her ability to help facilitate a conversation while creating a supportive and encouraging environment means that the coaching supervision is just brilliant!

You leave better for the experience knowing your own clients will benefit from the time you have spent with her.

Rachel provides just the right level of challenge and support and introduces innovative ways to engage for best results.

Rachel is patient, kind and refreshing to work with. She helped guide me to understand that sales does not have to be sales in a cringey way but can instead be elegant and all about serving others. I absolutely love Rachel’s knowledge and passion for nature too. Thank you.

Rachel is engaging, thoughtful and very easy to work with. She provided me with 1-on-1 coach supervision which helped me in my coach development. I would certainly recommend her.

I've worked with Rachel in a number of ways over the years both when she worked at Danone and more recently as an adviser for new education programmes with external partners. She is always full of energy, insightful and reliable which I'm sure extends into her coaching and other activities.
