I help people do more and stress less while improving leadership and communication skills.

Yes, I want to kill it at work. But I also want a great life outside of work, with lots of time for myself. Don’t you?

But instead:

- You find yourself feeling like the day just slips away, with not much crossed off the list.

- The work does get done...eventually, but you’re exhausted.

- Those personal projects? They’ve fallen by the wayside. You’ve got the best of  - intentions but it just. Doesn’t. Happen.

That’s where I come in. I’ll help you:

- Stop constantly worrying that you have forgotten to do something, or are behind on something. And those things you aren’t doing? It’ll be because you CHOSE not to do them. Not because you dropped the ball.

- Prioritize effectively so that you can spend the right amount of time on the right things...for you, your family and your job.

- Have more time for play and rest, and kick any guilt about it to the curb.

Wow, this is incredibly helpful!! Thank you both so much for sharing your knowledge and brilliant tips. Everyone should take this class. From Rachel’s first tip about car trash and the excellent advice from Alexis about when to deal with work emails, I knew I would be taking copious notes. I look forward to implementing some of what I’ve learned! Thanks again!

Rachel and Alexis were both amazing experts in family, parenting, life and work balance. I like the idea to work smart and parent well, we all need these insights and clarities. Like me, I've had struggles being a first time mom and I've been seeking help and guidance, luckily, I found Rachel and learned from her with so many things.

What an amazing course from experts in the workplace and family using tools, strategies and techniques to manage and improve one’s contributions and satisfaction at both the office and home! Learning what you can and can’t control plus how to influence instead is such a key concept to decreasing stress and frustration, and these experts provide specific tools for all different kinds of situations. At the beginning of the course they set out what they intend to do, and they absolutely deliver.
