Rachel Schofield
Career Coach, Communication & Presentation Skills Trainer and Former BBC Journalist
Rachel Schofield has made a career out of being curious. She spent 20 years as a journalist, reporting and presenting for the BBC, before deciding she'd interviewed quite enough politicians for one lifetime and retrained as a personal development coach. Which allows her to continue to be nosey and ask powerful questions, just with nicer people. She holds qualifications from Firework Career Coaching, the Coaching Academy and the ICF, and alongside her career development coaching is a LinkedIn trainer and presentation skills expert. She is also the author of "The Career Change Guide".
I love the style and delivery of these workshops. A good blend of content and experiential learning!
