RK Advising

Leadership with less stress, greater impact and more joy.

Are you a mission-driven leader feeling stressed, overwhelmed or seeking professional growth and clarity? I understand—I've been there. After 22 years as an executive director working to end homelessness, racial inequity, and domestic violence, I finally burned out. Through deep inner work, coaching, and support, I transformed my story and rediscovered my passion.

In 2022, I founded RK Advising to help leaders like you make lasting change without losing themselves. I offer executive and team coaching and nonprofit consulting, to help leaders manage stress, regain clarity, and create sustainable impact.

My clients face challenges like stress, impostor syndrome, conflict and competing priorities, but emerge with clearer strategies, improved relationships, and more balanced lives. Together, we work toward greater impact with less stress and more joy.

Let's work together to transform your leadership.

“As a manager, it brings me great joy to connect my direct reports with an executive coach who poses the right questions and shows my people that everything they need is already within them. One of my reports has moved from conflict avoidance to owning the space with a professional confidence that is strong and bold without sacrificing the warmth and joy she exudes innately. That is thanks to coaching with Rachel.”
