Organisations around the globe book Rachael for Leadership, Teamwork and Inspiration
Leadership
Rachael is a proven leader: having successfully led in the world's toughest workplace - Antarctica. All leaders are expected to handle tough situations, often without much guidance.
Rachael provides simple, practical tools to deal with what actually comes up day to day: difficult conversations, accountability, and making decisions under pressure.
TEAMWORK
Most teams don’t struggle with intent, they struggle with how to work together when things get hard.
Rachael introduces a shared language that helps teams deal with issues directly, reduce friction, and build trust.
The tools are straightforward, memorable, and easy to use straight away.
inspiration
This isn’t inspiration for the sake of it.
Rachael’s story shows what leadership looks like in practice, in a high-pressure, real-world environment.
People leave feeling re-engaged, clearer about their role, and more confident to step up when it counts.
Antarctic Expedition Leader
Antarctic Expedition Leader
Rachael successfully led a year long expedition to Antarctica.
She was the youngest and just the second female expedition leader to Davis Station.
Antarctica: pristine, scenic and beautiful. That's summer. Now, imagine living with your team in that place through winter: months of darkness, the temperature hovering around -35˚C (-31˚F), and there’s no way in or out…
Every little thing can become an issue in this pressure-cooker environment. In fact a $30M science program was nearly stopped over whether the bacon should be soft or crispy!
With great humour, insight and humility Rachael now brings the lessons she learned about leadership and teamwork in this toughest place to organisations and associations everywhere.
