Our Consultant Spotlight series lets us tell the stories of the people who make up the Lions & Tigers community. Career and leadership coach, Rachel Salzberg (she/her), was drawn to Lions & Tigers because of the people aligned values around bringing the “human” to work, and the deep care for flexibility in how and where we do our work. Rachel is passionate about health, yoga, travel and the outdoors – a lifestyle that parallels the discipline and values in her professional life.

ABOUT RACHEL

As a career and leadership coach and founder of CEO of Facets Coaching, I strive to put humanity back into business, providing guidance that helps create beautiful opportunities around an individual’s or team’s gifts and talents. I help people to recognize their inherent abilities, nurture and let them shine so they can impact others and the world. I have helped to develop leaders at many global organizations — showing individuals, leaders, managers, groups, and organizations how to gain self-awareness, overcome obstacles, and develop meaningful and purposeful lives and cultures. I often speak to corporate audiences, and I am passionate about women and leadership, leading retreats and workshops for a variety of individuals, leaders, groups, and organizations.

INSPIRATION

It was through my own experiences with self-doubt and experiencing many challenges and adversities thrown my way, that I developed resilience and learned to grow from these experiences. I decided I was no longer a victim of these situations enabling me to develop confidence, hope, and positivity despite these circumstances.  As a result, I have been able to create a life of purpose, joy, and freedom. As I found my path, I wanted to help others in their life and career to develop the unshakeable mindset to move through life’s challenges, develop the courage and confidence to live out their passion and purpose, and to help develop conscious, purpose driven leaders.

WHY LIONS & TIGERS

I chose Lions & Tigers based on their values, and the appreciation and integration of the “human” at work. The alignment of my values of putting humanity back into business, helping to develop conscious leaders who practice equity and flexibility, and partnering with others to help people play to their strengths and allowing for their best lives is critical to my being.

AREAS OF INTEREST & PASSIONS

I have always been deeply curious about the unique facets of inspirational, confident, and purpose-driven human beings, and how they developed the discipline and courage to build resilience in life and work. I studied neuroscience and the mindsets of inspirational people who know what meaningful success looks and feels like. I am passionate about developing conscious leaders, helping people to think outside the box, and to shift perspectives so that they can experience success, and lead extraordinary lives. I have developed state-of-the-art methodologies, that leverages neuroscience, design thinking, as well as relying on my professional insight.

I lead a life that incorporates health, yoga, and purposeful travel. I am passionate about nature and the outdoors. This lifestyle parallels the discipline and values in my professional life. I understand the profound importance of effective and healthy leadership. Being in nature and travel require passion, courage, and collaboration. These experiences also address physical and intellectual challenges that create new perspectives and the confidence to overcome obstacles that life throws at us.

ADVICE TO OTHERS NAVIGATING A CAREER TRANSITION

In these paradigm shifting times, it’s easy to feel ‘stuck’ in old patterns or situations. If you’re feeling self-doubt, lack of clarity, fear, and anxiety, and if you’re not sure why your career and/or life are stalled, or the organization you lead is not built on trust or accountability, then it is time to PAUSE. Reset. Reorient.  Reinvent and Disrupt so we can create a new reality with infinite possibility. We all need tools to help us find our way. As leaders, or aspiring leaders, in our own life, or career, we won’t get very far if we don’t stop, go deep within, create consciousness to unblock limiting beliefs, and then develop a plan for how to get from here, to there.
