I have coached and mentored 1000s of stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, ed leaders, and teams) to expand their capabilities, achieve progressively challenging goals, and overcome obstacles. I have coordinated and led over 200 conferences, including being a keynote speaker.

Rachelle Leerling

I help organizations in digital & entrepreneurship realize new initiatives. 

Kick-starting new initiatives by brainstorming and sharing my ideas, setting project targets, aligning the project team & setting out the tasks is what I do without hesitation. I get things going, up to speed & moving fast. 

I care for the project team and will make sure everyone is on board, briefed & motivated. I never lose stakeholders out of sight, I tend to proactively communicate so that all parties are on the same page. When things do not work out as planned or need extra attention, I escalate quickly.

Oh, and I also love to present the project outcomes and/or host the (launch) event.

Product Owner & Content Writer

I'm on a mission to empower entrepreneurs to break free from the daily grind, get back into their best role, and ENJOY their business again. 

1️⃣ Fractional Chief of Staff @ Growtribute

My passion lies in supporting high-achieving entrepreneurs who are too involved in day-to-day operations and don't do enough of what truly matters to get back to the work that moves their businesses forward. 

I help them get back into their zone of genius & full leadership through tough love coaching & accountability. My secret sauce is Personal Mastery - because your business can only be as thriving as you are. Over the past years, I’ve helped dozens of entrepreneurs achieve more revenue, headspace, enjoyment… All while working less & more efficiently. 

2️⃣ Co-founder & Leader @ TribeX

On top of coaching, I co-founded an entrepreneurs community called TribeX. It's more than a community; it's a tight-knit family of like-minded entrepreneurs across Europe. At TribeX, we're all about mutual support and growth - all by operating on deep trust & vulnerability. Together, we tackle challenges, celebrate wins, and co-elevate our businesses through masterminds, expert talks, and much more. 

For me, my work is all about (re)calibration – positioning you and your team for holistic success. My approach ensures that you're not just working hard but working smart, creating an environment where everyone can shine and mutually bring the business to where it belongs.

If any of the above resonates with you and your business situation, just reach out in DM 🙏🏼
