Navigating the complexities of leadership together
The story of Trustworks coaching
Silence can be deafening. Growing up, Rachel observed firsthand the severe consequences of unaddressed conflict, where silence and avoidance led to life-altering outcomes. In her personal journey, Rachel faced challenges that tested the very core of her resilience and decision making abilities. These experiences, while deeply personal, have cemented Rachel's belief in the transformative power of facing fears, the importance of assertive action, and the ability of any individual to rise above adversity.

Hi, I'm Rachel
With a rich journey of experience in HR and leadership development, my path into coaching was born out of a profound realization: the heart of any organization isn't its products or services, but its people. Witnessing countless professionals grapple with conflicts and personal challenges, I recognized a pressing need for guidance, support, and empowerment. That's when TrustWorks Coaching took shape.

Philosophy & Approach
Every individual and organization is on a journey. At TrustWorks Coaching, we see conflict not as a roadblock, but as a signpost pointing toward growth. Drawing from Rachel's diverse experiences and rigorous training, we believe that:
Conflict resolution is a skill, one that can be honed and refined with dedication.
True resolution begins with an inward journey of empathy and understanding, both for oneself and for others.
Proactive strategies, rooted in continuous learning and collaboration, set the foundation for effective conflict resolution.
Pursuing win-win solutions ensures that resolutions are sustainable and harmonious, honoring the perspectives and needs of all parties involved.
Trust is our North Star. It begins with trusting oneself and extends outward, forging stronger connections.
The energy we bring into our interactions shapes our leadership and determines our impact.
In recognizing and valuing the diverse perspectives of each individual and culture, we find richer, more comprehensive solutions.
Every challenge and every fear faced, brings us closer to competence and a long-term vision of harmony and productivity.
Together, let's embark on this journey, turning challenges into stepping stones toward a harmonious, productive future.
