About
Change is constant. How do you deal with it? How does your leadership team? Your organization?
I help seasoned and emerging leaders identify and achieve goals, overcome challenges, and navigate change.
Every leader, whether you lead a small team or a global enterprise, needs someone in your corner — to ask the tough questions, to help bring clarity amidst all the noise, to uncover the answers that are already there but may be buried under the conflicting priorities and details of everyday work.
A few topics I love coaching leaders on:
- organization design, enablement & effectiveness
- creating a safe, inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work
- how to transition successfully from an IC role and/or managing projects to managing and leading people
Experience I bring to our sessions:
- 25+ years in tech startups (e.g., Mural, Reputation.com), small and medium businesses, and global Fortune 500s (Amazon, Adobe, Boeing, PayPal, MGM, Western Union), in leadership & IC roles in:
- recruiting, hiring, and managing people
- operations
- communications (internal/employee and leadership)
- developing & managing programs
- employee experience & engagement, DEIB, culture
- Coaching and advising executives and other leaders
- Mentoring high-potential employees
- Building teams and functions from the ground up
- Living/working in 9 different countries and cultures
- Certified professional coach with additional credentials in diversity & inclusion, design thinking, and intercultural communications
What do you want to accomplish next — for your organization, your team or yourself? How will get you there? If the answers aren't clear, let's talk and explore how coaching can support you.

Testimonials
Coaching with Rachel has led to a deeper connection with myself. She listens attentively and provides lots of space to think. Her thoughtful and gentle way of asking questions has helped me gain new insights, clarity and a better understanding of myself. Rachel has a great ability to prevent you from losing focus, which helped me reach my desired outcomes. I left every session motivated and excited to move forward. Thank you, Rachel, for being such a wonderful thinking partner!
Certified Coach, People Experience Partner
I gained insights into myself, motivations I hadn't been conscious of, and mental barriers I had that kept my work and some of my most important values in separate categories. These were through Rachel's skilled questioning and reflecting back to me what she heard in my words. These helped me make some decisions I'd been stalling on for a long time.
She also taught me some visioning techniques that I've found helpful in facing the new work I'd be entering.
Apart from her skills, respectfulness and consideration, I appreciated how she was prepared for each session, and somehow both allowed me to express and share information that was important to the fullest extent, yet also made sure we used the time well, and didn't digress far from the objectives I'd set at the start… Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel Radway, you are one of the best listeners and most empathetic coaches I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with. I am so excited for the [clients who] have the joy of crossing your path.

Working with Rachel was a soul strengthening experience. I started my engagement with her at a time when I was at a crossroad in my life. I had spent years putting hard work into learning self love, compassion, and better understanding what I wanted and deserved out of my life but needed help and an accountability buddy to take my progress to the next level. Rachel applied her coaching expertise to my situation perfectly and held a mirror up to my thoughts, fears, and feelings to help me make sense of and be inspired by them. She pointed out contradictions, thought patterns, positive observations, and asked the right questions to gently coax me to the right solutions. By working with Rachel I was able to build several positive new rituals and began work on dream projects that I would have continued to talk myself out of had I not engaged with her. Cheers to RER Coaching! I’m feeling so excited about who I’m becoming and the next stage of my life and look forward to working with Rachel again.
