I had been in post under 3 months and was facing big decisions about staffing restructures, cultural change and general repositioning of myself. I had a mixture of emotions at the time. Rachel has helped me to acknowledge the positives and successes I have had in my new role and helped me to think creatively for solutions to the challenges I have faced. She has supported me to feel confident in my decision making and has not let me shy away from the bigger tough decisions that need to be made. Through working with Rachel, I am more confident with my imaginative / creative ideas which I’d sometimes stayed away from for the fear that they were ‘too out the box’! The impact of my work with Rachel is evident in the changes I have confidently implemented across the World Class Programme and the style and way I have conducted myself during these changes. I feel I’m more aware of myself in certain situations and the impact I can have on others and am bringing elements of positive psychology and neuroscience into my approach more naturally now
