Welcome!
I’m Rachael Gaibel, a certified leadership, life and wellbeing coach, consultant and content writer.
I partner with individuals, leaders, groups and organizations to create sustainable change so that they bring their vision to life and thrive.
My professional story
I bring extensive experience in coaching, leadership development, organizational development, talent management program design and implementation, Corporate HR, change management, internal communications and thought leadership content.
My career has focused on bringing strategic goals and visions to life. In my corporate career, I focused on developing, designing and implementing company-wide talent focused programs and processes to align with the strategy and culture. As a coach and consultant, I partner with clients from vision to develop a strategy in order to take intentional action to pursue their goals and thrive.
In 2018, I took a career break after my daughter was born to recover from burnout and pause my career. I had a deep desire to improve my wellbeing and redesign what would be next for my career based on what mattered to me. Through a winding journey involving multiple transitions, I redefined my life and career to be in better alignment and with greater wellbeing.
Coaching
I have been championing others to help them believe in their potential since I was an assistant manager in college; and then through working in student affairs as a recent college graduate. Before I knew what coaching was, I did so through: mentoring, guiding, motivating and managing others. Throughout my career, I have taken a coaching approach to employee and leadership development. Within the past few years, I have deepened my coaching skills through extensive coaching training and experience. I partner with clients to create change that matters to them so they accomplish their goals and thrive.
To learn more about my coaching approach, check out the Individual Career and Life Coaching page or Leadership Coaching page.
Content Strategy and Writing
I integrate my passion for writing with my professional expertise and interests, bringing an in-depth understanding of the content and target audience. This results in creating compelling, relevant, accessible content tailored to your business.
Focus areas include leadership, personal growth and wellbeing topics.
