Hey legend, I’m so glad you’re here, welcome…

So, it’s time to make some changes, huh?...

Rach Taylor standing in arch shaped white passage way.

Hey, I’m Rach!

I’m a Performance, Career, and Life Coach, a Life After Sport and Athlete Transition Coach, an Athlete Mindset and Performance Coach, a seasoned HR guru, and a speaker. 

I work with high-performing men and women, professionals and leaders who want clarity, confidence, and direction as they navigate major career or life transformation.

I also work with athletes to sharpen their mindset and performance, and I guide retiring or transitioning athletes as they step into life after sport with purpose, strength, and a clear plan for what comes next.

As an Olympic silver medallist and a former senior HR leader, I intuitively understand high performance from both sides of the fence. I know what it really takes to perform on a sustained basis, and to rebuild, grow, and evolve through major career and life transitions.

I’m known for bringing high-performance insight, deep lived experience, and no-BS straight-talking clarity to my work. 

I’d love to support you, let’s chat x

Meet Rach Taylor.. Olympic medallist. Recovering perfectionist and overachiever.  

Former elite athlete and high-performance HR executive. Champion for your next chapter.

Hey, I'm Rach.

I’ve been where you are now – feeling in a rut, zapped, doubting myself, sensing I needed a complete life overhaul – but not knowing where the hell to even start.

Read more about my story here

I’ve navigated many challenging paths and have emerged each time on the other side stronger, more aligned, and with a deeper sense of purpose than ever before.

Now, I guide other type-A-personality-overachieving rockstar-types just like you.. and support them in their own transformations.  

I’m here to help you break through what’s keeping you stuck and design a future you feel excited about, with no-BS practical steps, not just talk.

It’s Olympic-medallist-slash-high-performing-professional-HR-expertise-slash-lived-experience-to-boot wrapped up structured coaching that turns overwhelm into momentum, so you stop spinning your wheels and start creating the life you actually want… (Phew, what a mouthful).

This is your moment. Let’s turn it into something extraordinary.

Career, life, and wellness coaching is about guiding you from where you are now to where you truly want to be. It combines coaching psychology, personal development, and career and leadership expertise to help you think and act differently, creating a future aligned with your values and aspirations.

When we work together, it’s a mix of motivation, strategy, and accountability. I’m here to support and challenge you, helping you make meaningful changes across all areas of your life.

Think of me as both your biggest cheerleader and your strategic partner, offering fresh perspectives to uncover the roadblocks that may be holding you back—often the ones you can’t see yourself.

Coaching helps you clarify what’s most important, whether it’s redefining your leadership style, navigating a career change, or achieving a healthier work-life balance.

Together, we’ll set clear goals and create a practical plan to move you towards the change you’re ready to embrace. Along the way, I’ll remind you of your strengths, keep you focused, and provide the honest feedback you need to confidently move forward.

My coaching style is structured and focused, combining thought-provoking questions with direct, no-nonsense guidance.

I love having a laugh, so expect some level of comedy as well, and plenty of fun.

I bring empathy, rich lived experience, and straight-talking accountability to every session.

I’m here to guide you, illuminate the path to meaningful change, and gently push you beyond your comfort zone. Together, we’ll build habits that support sustainable, long-term success—not just quick fixes.

Together, we’ll create a path forward that aligns with your goals and values.

My coaching process typically lasts around 3 months, depending on your goals and the changes you want to achieve.

This time frame allows us to dive deep, build sustainable strategies, and ensure lasting transformation as you navigate your next chapter with confidence and clarity.

My coaching programs are structured, organised, and tailored to your unique needs, blending goal setting, actionable steps with deep reflection.

Using a strengths-based approach, grounded in the latest neuroscience and positive psychology research, we begin by identifying your strengths, values, and desired direction.

Together, we’ll set clear goals, then develop actions and strategies to shift your mindset, break unhelpful habits, and move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re seeking a career transformation, or a wellness reset, our sessions are practical, and results driven.

Between sessions, I provide ongoing support, as well as positive psychology exercises and coaching resources to scaffold your ongoing growth and sustainable change.
