What others are saying...

"YATNS was incredibly eye-opening. I was really struggling to understand what I wanted to focus on moving forward and to get my priorities straight. YATNS was the first time I had ever participated in a coaching program/session, and the amount of valuable insights I gained from it was incredible. It provided me with a clearer view of what I want to focus on and how to approach it. I loved the group sessions because of the sense of community, the support system we created together, and Rachel was simply incredible in her leadership and attentiveness to all of us. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who needs to develop a better understanding of themselves and learn how to clarify their priorities."

"YATNS is not just for people looking to change jobs. I joined the program seeking guidance to forward my career within my current organization. YATNS helped me clarify my values and objectives, tell my story, and most importantly, identify the roadblocks limiting my growth. Rachel helped me reframe how I think about blockers to my success and recognize how much control I have over these perceived blockers (spoiler alert - I have nearly entire control). As a result of the program, I secured an opportunity with cross-functional senior leadership.

The YATNS+ program is a unique combination of small group conversations, solo prep-work, accountability partners, and 1:1 coaching with Rachel. I found the range of engagement opportunities strengthened my learning and gave me the opportunity to learn from others - even those in very different career phases and environments."

“Your Are The North Star benefits people from both a personal and professional standpoint, as you learn to unpack your values, beliefs, limitations, and find ways to carve paths forward that wouldn't have been availed were it not for this thoughtfully crafted program. I was able to increase my self confidence, create greater self awareness, break through self doubt and evolve clearer thought processes. Rachel is an amazing coach & facilitator, and the lessons and prompts were incredibly helpful and thought-provoking. I’d recommend this course to anyone looking to evolve their career and personal development.”

"I joined YATNS to consciously evaluate my career trajectory and to determine my priorities for the next step, after 10 years in consulting and private equity. I found the programme and Rachel's coaching extremely powerful in helping me reflect and distill values and true skills, which informed how I looked at my work and career. Specifically, it helped me unlock the key criteria for me to look for in my next step, and has given me confidence in pursuing opportunities that align with my interests, values and skills. 

​

I highly recommend the YATNS programme for anyone who is starting to think about the longer term career - in particular those considering stepping out from a "safe route", but unsure what this might exactly be. The YATNS programme is very well structured and thought through, and Rachel is a truly fantastic coach in helping participants uncover truths about themselves and giving confidence in being their best selves in whatever is next."

"When I signed up for YATNS I was struggling to figure out what type of work to pursue. I had already made a significant career change in my mid-twenties and was apprehensive about doing so again, but I knew things weren't clicking in my current line of work — I just didn't have a clear idea of what to do instead. Going through the program not only brought clarity to what I want to do next, but it really helped me answer some deeper-seated questions around what my highest priorities are and what I truly value. Even if my next role doesn't end up meeting my expectations, I know I will have an easier time assessing why and figuring out something else to try thanks to the foundational work done in this course. Rachel is a fun and confidence-inspiring coach, and the coursework was designed exceptionally well. It can be tough to do intense introspection, and this course and Rachel's guidance were instrumental in getting me to where I am now. I also thought the group aspect of the program was a huge plus. It was comforting and beneficial to do the work alongside others grappling with similar questions, I made great connections with the people in my cohort, and I always looked forward to attending the group sessions."

"I highly recommend working with Rachel and taking her You Are the North Star program if you’re at a career crossroads. The program provided structure, support, accountability and inspiration as I considered different paths. The coaching sessions and homework were always thought provoking. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective group coaching can be with a leader like Rachel. Hearing how others were processing different questions sparked my own thinking. Rachel’s own story was also an inspiration. Her love for her work shines through and her energy is contagious."

"I loved connecting with others working on figuring out a "next", exchanging in a safe and encouraging space. YATNS helped me gain clarity on myself holistically, boosting my self-awareness and how to navigate toward my next step. If you are thinking about joining, all I can say is GO FOR IT!"

"[in YATNS+] Rachel coached me through a really challenging time in my career. With her help, I was able to turn what felt like herculean tasks into growth opportunities. Rachel does a brilliant job of turning conversations during one-to-one sessions into actionable steps to help you further your career and overcome professional obstacles. Our sessions were a worthwhile investment and I'd definately recommend working with her."
