"Rachael is an inspirational and warm hearted individual with a natural ability to make you feel at ease in her presence. She encourages openness and sincerity and is always prepared to listen and empathise with people. She is trustworthy and responsible and can always be relied upon to be honest and genuine with a praiseworthy level of integrity.

Rachael is a true professional and a guru in her field and anyone who is fortunate enough to work with her, will be inspired by her passion and insight to bring out the best in people".

Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Empire.

"Wow... is the first word that comes to mind when I think of how much Rachael Clow has helped me change my life.  Rachael was recommended to me by my chiropractor as one of the best in her field and he wasn't wrong.
 
When I first started seeing Rachael, I was a very stressed out senior exec. At a glance people would say I was extremely successful in my field, and they were right, but I had no belief in myself. 

Behind this professional facade there was a physical and emotional mess struggling to deliver to everyone else's priorities just so they could say ''Well Done'' - all of which Rachael was scarily quick to discover!
 
I can honestly say learning about who I was and who I want to be continues to be one of the most enlightening things I've ever done. There were often real light bulb moments created by Rachael's unbelievable ability to know exactly what questions to ask in just the right way so that each layer of protection is compassionately peeled back, enabling you to come to your own eureka moments.   

It’s a transformation that I would recommend everyone should get. Rachael - I can't thank you enough".

Louise Taylor, Commercial Director, Cable and Wireless.

"I am really struggling with the idea that our sessions are no longer required as you have been such an amazing support, mentor, coach and so much more to me over the past few years and it is such a privilege to know and work with you.

You have equipped me so well to cope with so many things and I can't thank you enough for everything you have done. When I look back at where I was 5 or 6 years ago and where I am now I can't quite believe how much I have developed.

So thank you so very very much for being so kind, compassionate and incredibly talented as a coach.  My children have a better mother, my marriage is so much stronger and my work life balance is where I want it to be - without you it might have been a very different story.

Thank you for always being right but always having the patience to let me work it out for myself!"

Katie McGavigan, Head of Tax, British Gas.

"Frustrated with my own failures and lack of motivation, I approached Rachael in an attempt to understand the reasons behind this, but more importantly as I felt at the time, to overcome them.

I began our sessions believing I knew what my issues were (an amateur mistake it turns out) and fortunately with Rachael's patience, I abandoned that mindset and allowed her to get to work.

I believe Rachael has a deep understanding of her profession and my advice would be, trust in her methods, you'll see that it's worth it in the end. I learnt that to overcome the things that were inhibiting my progress, I needed to get to the root cause. Rachael helped me get to the root cause by helping me to ask myself the right questions.....and seek the right answers. The key point here is that Rachael had no interest in handing me all the answers on a plate, she wanted me to find them for myself....Teach a man to fish..... as they say.

I'm truly thankful to Rachael, she is insightful, accommodating and has great timing; she knows when it's time to get tough, but only if it's needed of course!"

Paul, London.

"Rachael has excellent coaching skills, combining structure and method with intuition, wisdom and perception that make every session a personal journey of enlightenment. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is seeking a Coach and wants to be sure they have the best"

Brenda El-Leithy, Mind2Mind.

"I greatly appreciate the help you have given me. Talking through the issues was great and the framework you provided, within which I was able to better rationalize what I wanted to do, has proved invaluable. I shall miss these sessions which challenged me but nevertheless I greatly enjoyed and benefited from, so many thanks to you".

Rick Brunwin, Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation.

"I remember my first conversation with Rachael - having spoken to a couple of other coaches, I immediately knew that Rachael was right for me; she has a friendly, open manner and by the end of the call, I was already inspired and had a new outlook on my study and exams.

Over the next few months, Rachael offered unwavering support and insight. She helped me understand what motivates me (and what doesn't!) and how to achieve my full potential. I saw an immediate effect on my life and achieved all my goals, including passing my professional exams"!

Anna, Reigate, Surrey.

"Rachael has had an immensely positive effect on both my personal and professional life. I believe her non-judgmental and respectful approach along with her overwhelming enthusiasm has changed my management style in a positive manner.

Her listening skills are second to none, her focus is infectious and her supportive personality means that anyone who chooses to employ her as a coach, can only appreciate the benefits and value she delivers".

Darren, Fitness manager, Virgin Active.

"As a senior manager in a public sector organisation, working within a culture that did not always encourage managers to think about their own personal development, I found it invaluable to have regular meetings with Rachael as it gave me a real opportunity to have space and time to reflect and review.

Working with Rachael enabled me to consider how personal issues may be blocking my growth as a both leader and manager and her warm, encouraging but never leading style of coaching was one which I would not hesitate to recommend to others. I really have benefited from the time invested in our sessions as has my working practice, self confidence and ability to trust in my own judgement and abilities".

Sarah Hawke, Deputy Director, NHS West Sussex.

''Rachael solicited my thoughts and my actions and remained respectful and non-judgmental throughout the sessions. Along with great listening skills, she is incredibly supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging and makes you feel that she is really focused on your success and achievement. Rachael has a very easy manner that puts you at ease and which certainly helps with the progress".

Malcolm Lilly, FEO, Tourvest Duty Free Ltd.

"After working with Rachael, my expectations have been well and truly exceeded and all my goals have been achieved. I came out feeling highly motivated and more confident.

Rachael’s coaching was really first class, she was completely professional with a sound knowledge of her field and showed herself to be an exceptional listener and very encouraging in her support".

Business Manager, Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd.

"Working with Rachael has transformed my business. She helped me realize my priorities and focus on what is important to me. With this new direction I feel much more confident, and can target the type of business I want to win.

I would recommend Rachael to anyone who is feeling pulled in too many different directions and can’t see the way forward".

Alison Blake, Add Agency.

"Rachael has a positive approach, which enabled me to re-evaluate where I was, get my positive mental attitude back and be proactive in my role. She was non judgmental and allowed time to 'off load' without it taking over the sessions.
I think what really helped was she was able to help me unpick perception from reality.
 
Agreeing tasks to help me review, empowered me to make the time to reflect, whilst I didn't complete them for Rachael, knowing that I was meeting with her and she'd be asking for feedback, did keep me on track.
Thank you once again you were great to work with and helped me move on SO much".

Sue Giddings, Director, West Sussex Health (Community Services)

"Rachael provides a safe space in which to reflect on how I interact with others in the team. Her questioning & insight has helped me to focus on how my behaviour can make it easier or harder to get the job done. 
It has enabled me to develop new strategies and given me the confidence in using these on a day to day basis. And it was fun!"

Brian Hughes, Assistant Chief Executive, West Sussex Health.

"I think working with Rachael has been one of the most enjoyable things I have done as she is empathic without being obvious, and friendly without being intrusive. These are rare qualities and ones that I need to emulate. All in all it has been challenging which I would expect, but amazing fun and one of the best things I have ever done".

Marcia Hall, Head of Finance, General Dental Council.

"At first I was not sure what to expect as I'd never had any professional coaching before. Immediately however, Rachael’s empathetic style and engaging, open manner put me at ease. Through open questioning and discussion she opened my eyes to a new level of self-awareness which has made me more confident and motivated.

The positive effects of the sessions have benefited not only my work life, but also my personal life. I would recommend Rachael to anyone wishing to maximize their potential".

Clementina Cracroft, Manager, Virgin Atlantic Airways.

"When I was first offered coaching I was extremely sceptical; the idea of 'bearing my soul' to a stranger did not appeal but I was persuaded to give it a go. The reality is that the sessions are very valuable, focused 'me' time within an increasingly demanding workplace.

The subject matter is based on my needs agreed at the start of the session, not some pre-ordained agenda. The time is there for me to redefine what is important, work through a problem, order my skills to their best advantage and to determine how I can work at my most effective.

Could I do this myself on a long walk? No. On my own there is no-one to listen, or to challenge (without being confrontational). There would be no constructive comments and nothing provocative. For me the benefit of Rachael's coaching is the chance to work through thorny issues with someone from outside the organisation – but the key is that you work through them yourself with the odd nudge in the right direction.

Rachael has really helped me during a period of enormous change within the organisation and my roles there. She has been a tremendous support and made the sessions productive yet fun".

Nicky Cambrook, Director, West Sussex Health.

"Rachael has a very positive, upbeat nature together with a lovely empathy and a great ability to lift your spirit. After only my second session, I felt like the ‘sun had come out’ and I left each session feeling positive, enthusiastic and sometimes actually ‘buzzing’".

Sally, West Sussex.

"When I first started working with Rachael, I didn’t have any clear goals, I just knew my life was a mess and I needed some kind of direction. I look back now after just 4 sessions and cannot believe the change in myself, nor can my friends and family.

I now know what I want to do with my life and know that I will be successful. I feel a more confident and powerful person; something I have never really felt in all my 36 years.

Rachael I cannot thank you enough – you have literally changed my life".

Linzi, Surrey.

"I formed an instant rapport with Rachael, she has a lovely bright personality and a good sense of humour, which came in handy during our sessions. Rachael was marvellous in helping me work out what I needed to do to get me closer to my goal.

I made some dramatic changes to how I approach important issues in my life and use these tools every day now. Rachael encouraged me to look deep within myself for the answers, and they were always there".

Susannah, Surrey.
