People First Coaching

Know yourself, lead well, develop your people

Rae Harper working with a client in a coaching conversation

As a woman in midlife, you've probably gathered a number of titles along the way, partner, mum, daughter, friend, boss, employee, but when was the last time you knew who you were without them?

Many of the women I work with arrive because they've lost sight of some part of themselves. They've reached a stage of life that leads them to ask questions. What's next? How did I get here? That's where coaching can help. What they want most is to feel like themselves again, more confident, more energised and able to trust their own decisions. In our work together they feel heard, seen, without judgement and they leave feeling lighter, with clarity and focus for what's next.

Know Yourself

Career Radiance™ is a self paced programme to help you reconnect with the woman you are today, and the woman you are becoming.

Lead Well

You don't need the title of Leader to have coaching. Together we create a space that works with the way you think, process and communicate, so you can find your own way forward.

Develop Your People

I bring the same approach to small businesses, working with founders and teams who want to build cultures where their people can do their best work.

"Rae has a warm, engaging and positive style and has the rare gift of asking the most insightful questions to encourage you to dig deep and create your own solutions." Anna, NHS Leader
