Strategic Community Consulting

My consulting work is rooted in decades of building and scaling projects that bring people together—from founding The Incubator Kitchen Collective (a groundbreaking non-profit with multiple locations) to creating regional platforms like Power to Pursue. I've spent my career designing spaces, programs, and initiatives that don't just serve communities—they transform them.

Whether you're launching a corporate initiative or building something entrepreneurial from the ground up, I help you expand your reach and deepen your impact by making your work genuinely accessible and inclusive—not as a checkbox exercise, but as a catalyst for innovation and transformation.

I absolutely LIGHT UP when I get to partner with corporate and entrepreneurial leaders who are ready to think differently about what’s possible!

“Rachel is masterful at bringing her whole self, body, mind, and spirit, into the conversation. Her depth of presence means she is able to hold space for real conversations that are needed now more than ever. And as someone who has been a guest on her podcast and stages, and who has held space with her on my own podcast, I can also say that those conversations are not just words; they are leading to new actions being taken that are empowering women to know themselves more deeply and express themselves more fully.”

Hannah Chapman, Founder & CEO, Expansive CEO

Here’s what I bring to our partnership.

Strategic vision, hands-on experience building scalable programming, and an obsessive commitment to asking the beautiful, uncomfortable questions. Who's missing from this conversation? What perspectives haven't we considered? How can we redesign this so it doesn't just open doors, but actually creates pathways for people who've been standing outside?

I collaborate with you to examine blind spots, reimagine frameworks, and design projects that reach further and resonate deeper. This might mean rethinking your audience, restructuring your program model, or identifying the communities and voices that could elevate your work in ways you haven't yet imagined.

What makes this partnership different?

My approach is deeply collaborative and grounded in real-world results. I bring my most powerful insights when I'm responding to actual challenges, engaging with real people, and working through what's happening right now in your organization or venture. I don't work from templates or one-size-fits-all frameworks—I work from deep listening, pattern recognition, and genuine partnership.

As an international speaker, recognized thought leader, and advisor for leadership programs like Queen City Game Changers, I've guided everyone from emerging entrepreneurs to seasoned executives. My consulting style blends strategic thinking with the kind of support that helps you see possibilities you didn't know existed.
