Leadership Development

Are you interested in developing leadership skills for yourself or for your organisation? Contact me by email at rachael@cognuscoach.com


I’m passionate about helping leaders and organisations to build a culture of sustainable high performance. This involves creating environments where people are not only engaged and productive but also supported in maintaining well-being.

I work with leaders and organisations to strike the right balance between performance, demand and recovery; so they can ensure their teams have the right resources to thrive and avoid burnout. The key is often helping leaders connect with their teams, inspire action, and understand what creates a high-performance environment.

I use evidence-based, scientifically informed approaches to understanding and improving human behaviour. By applying psychological principles, I guide leaders and organisations to better understand what works, what doesn't, and what they can change to perform at their best. This is not just in the short term, but for sustainable and lasting cultures of high performance.

I focus on the psychological and behavioural aspects of leadership; helping leaders to understand their own values, develop self-awareness, and improve how they interact with others.
