Rachel Anderson

International Executive Coach

Rachel Anderson left her first career as a forester, growing trees, to pursue her fascination with how people grow instead. She became an international executive coach, supporting over 1000 leaders 1:1, then stepped back into a corporate leadership role as European Head of Coaching & Facilitation for a global consultancy to see if she could practice what she preached. She could. And she realized how much behavior in the corporate world is still driven by deep, often subconscious fears of inadequacy and even shame. Rachel dreams of the possibilities of a world where more of us truly know that we are enough; a world with less shame and fear; a world with more Ownership, Acceptance, and Kindness (which is the handy acronym OAK). So she went back to her own company Tea & Empathy to provoke and hold space for incredible leaders as they learn to know they are TRULY enough; relaxed and grounded just being their own natural self. It’s a joyful journey of radical self-acceptance and personal growth. She’s a social Introvert, playful kickboxer, mum to 3 daughters…and Rachel still likes trees.
