Do you know what your Leadership Fingerprint looks like?

You've built something real. But somewhere along the way, leading it started to feel like performing someone else's version of the job.

The friction isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. It's a sign you're leading from the wrong blueprint.

Six Degrees Strategy partners with women founders, small business owners, and CEOs to close the gap between who they are and how they lead — so their culture, their team, and their output all pull in the same direction.

Let's start

I’m a career and leadership coach with over 15 years’ experience helping leaders and teams in the US and UK communicate with confidence, build trust, and navigate high-stakes decisions.

My own path has been unconventional and at times surreal—ask me about being in a penthouse dining room, while Jackson Browne led a crowd in Happy Birthday to an astronaut. Along the way I’ve launched the operational systems for an energy-efficiency startup, reimagined a leadership programme mid-pandemic, embedded professional development into team strategy, and steered organisations through crises with a steady, strategic hand.

Now, I help women like you bring that same clarity, creativity, and calm to your own leadership style—so you can lead with confidence and still feel like yourself.

Hi, I’m Rachel.

You’re talented, capable, and care deeply about your team.

But lately, management feels harder than it should.

Are you finding yourself

  • Feeling unheard or over-ruled by decision-makers?

  • Wanting to lead with confidence without losing empathy?

  • Caught between your own work and supporting everyone else?

  • Wondering if the way you manage is “good enough”?

You’re not alone—and you’re not the problem.

You just need a new framework for how to lead authentically.

It’s time to develop a leadership style that's uniquely yours, powerfully effective, and creates lasting change for both peak performance and personal well-being.

Coaching for Impact, Clarity, and Confidence.

Great leaders don’t have all the answers, but they do know how to navigate the questions together.

Through practical tools, reflection, and coaching, we’ll build a toolkit that brings people closer and make collaboration easier.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Strengthen your leadership presence without hardening your edges

  • Build a high-trust culture that empowers your team and protects your energy

  • Create systems and habits that make management smoother and more sustainable

Because great managers don’t avoid conflict—they use it to build stronger relationships and achieve more together.

What my clients are saying:

  • “Whilst going through a particularly rocky and emotional life shift & career change, my sessions with Rachel were the grounding and incredibly supportive space I needed. She has the warmest demeanour and I felt immediately safe to share what I was struggling with. She made insightful and pragmatic assessments on what kind of support I needed and created a plan for how we could work through that - adapting it willingly and effectively when things changed."

  • "After the loss of a role I cared deeply about, I worked with Rachel. She was warm and approachable, listening carefully and asking thoughtful questions about my future goals. She also provided useful tips on storytelling, networking within the sector, and negotiating potential job offers."

  • "I loved the balance of gentle enquiry to allow me to have my own revelations and find clarity within my own thoughts, alongside her thoughtful personal insights based on her own knowledge and experiences. She really helped me to reconnect with my purpose and things in my life started to suddenly fall into place after just a few sessions - which I don't think is a coincidence! Thoroughly recommended, thank you Rachel!"

Six Degrees of Innovation

If you’re interested in hearing more from me, I’ve got a podcast!

Interviews, editing, and publishing is all done by me. What started as an idea for something I’d never tried became one of my favourite things to do. Focused on leaders who are taking innovative approaches to complex challenges and making impact in unexpected ways, my interviews explore the challenges they are solving and the leadership insights they have learned along the way.
