Former BBC Journalist, Facilitator & Coach
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.
I love the style and delivery of these workshops. A good blend of content and experiential learning!

The Masterclass will be a mix of instruction from our Masterclass expert, interactive exercises practising using the new tools and an interactive Q&A session.
-
I’m not free on the day / at the time of the Masterclass. Can I still take part?
-
Much of the value of the Masterclass will come from interactively practising the new tools in small groups, and this needs to be done live. However, if you register for the Masterclass, you will be sent the exercises and the recording a few days after the Masterclass (with the breakout room content edited out).
- Will you be sharing a recording of the Masterclass?

Yes, we will be sharing a recording of the session with those who register. If you cannot join the Masterclass live, or you miss part of it, you can watch the recording afterwards – however, the content shared in breakout rooms is not included in the recording.

-
Do I need to be a coach to take part in the masterclass?
-
Yes, though it’s fine if you’re right at the start of your coaching journey. Some basic knowledge of coaching skills will be important.
