"A transformative experience."
Working with Rachel Breidster on our most recent strategic plan was a transformative experience for our school. Her use of the Appreciative Inquiry method brought a fresh, strengths-based perspective that energized our entire community. Rachel’s ability to listen deeply, ask insightful questions, and guide us toward a shared vision was invaluable. Thanks to her thoughtful facilitation, we now have a strategic plan that reflects our core values and inspires us to move forward with clarity and purpose. We are deeply grateful for Rachel’s expertise and would highly recommend her to any organization seeking meaningful, lasting change.

"Seamless, stimulating, and motivating."
Working and collaborating with Rachel was seamless, stimulating, and motivating in all the best ways. She is incredibly enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and has a knack for a down-to-earth, yet professional, delivery that captures attention from any audience.
The deftness with which she operates almost casts a spell – such that you don’t realize the full impact of her expertise until afterwards, and are left reflecting on her insightful points and helpful tips for weeks and months to come!

"Rachel shows an exceptional skill in communication."
As Host of Public Health Live on several occasions I was a guest and in each instance she used probing, challenging questions, in a friendly supportive manner to deepen the presentation and enrich the listener experience. Truly a special talent in the communication field, she is bright and intuitive, supportive and challenging in a unique way that raises the level for all participants.

"Absolutely amazing!
I have had the pleasure of attending both in-person and virtual sessions with Rachel as the facilitator, and I must say, she is absolutely amazing! Rachel is not only smart and personable, but she also brings a sense of fun to her sessions. Her unique ability to "read the room" and adapt her training to suit the audience is truly remarkable. I always walk away from her sessions feeling engaged, inspired, and ready to apply what I've learned. She is truly a talented facilitator!
