WHY AN ICEBERG?

I had the pleasure of working with Rachel over a particularly challenging period. Aside from her ability to successfully lead a diverse team through a remote workplace, I found that she is particularly skilled in, and genuinely cares about, the personal and professional development of her colleagues by providing sound advice and encouragement. Rachel is a true innovator and has pushed me to achieve outcomes that I would otherwise have thought unattainable. (Feb 2021)
