Here is where I share reflections, stories, and ideas shaped by the work of Human-First Leadership — exploring what it means to lead with trust, connection, and consciousness in a changing world, across identities, roles, and lived experience.
These pieces are field notes from the journey of reflecting, and re-patterning leadership and culture — one conversation, one insight, one moment of noticing at a time.

A reflection on moving beyond organizational frameworks to the human essence beneath them. This piece explores how trust, presence, and connection re-pattern leadership — shifting us from managing systems to nurturing the souls within them.

An invitation to re-imagine how we live and lead together. Rachel explores what becomes possible when we hold space for curiosity, listen deeply, and co-create new ways of being that honour both individuality and our shared humanity.

An inquiry on perception and bias. This piece asks what shapes how we see others, and what our seeing reveals about ourselves — calling leaders to expand awareness, disrupt assumptions, and choose curiosity over certainty.

A personal reflection on difference as divine design. Rachel explores how embracing her own uniqueness became an act of liberation — and how honouring difference in others allows leaders and systems to move toward true belonging and wholeness.

A deeply personal story about worth, identity, and the pull to prove. Rachel reflects on her journey to disentangle value from productivity — reclaiming the belief that our being, not our doing, is where our real worth resides.

An introduction to the vision behind Brilliant Colours — a movement to help all leaders and especially Black women and Women of Colour step into their full brilliance. This piece invites readers into a space of courage, authenticity, and collective expansion.
