FAQs

  • Coaching is a partnership. A creative process that’s thought-provoking, and helps you maximize your personal and professional potential. It’s not about what’s worked for me, or what I’ve seen before - but rather, it’s centered on you: your experience, your knowledge, your unique outlook on life. Each moment we’re together it’s tailored to you, focused on you - without the personal biases.

    Mentorship is great to access the knowledge of someone who’s been there before.

    Consulting is great to snag external expertise to shift your perspective.

    Coaching is great because it’s about your knowledge, your expertise.

  • It’s about showing up, fully, to each session. Committing to the process. Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. We’ll do it together. I’ll be with you every step of the way.

    The folks that get the most out of it, are the ones that put the most into it. They bite off audacious goals that make them nervous, and together, we work through them.

  • Coaching can be helpful in many moments - periods of transition, making big decisions, or simply wanting to keep diving deep into who you are and how you show up in the world.

    If you’re able to devote the time and energy to focus on your goals - and talk about them - you’re ready!

  • Truthfully, I think it’s magical - that’s why I do this. Ultimately the benefit of coaching is because it sets aside time to dig deep and take action.

    Whether you’re launching your business, moving into the c-suite, or trying to figure out where to go next… having the time and space to focus on you is incredible.

  • Everyone has an “angle” right? Truthfully, finding your coach is like finding a therapist - you need to find the person who fits with you. I’m not for everyone, and that’s okay! If we meet and decide not to work together, I’ll do my best to offer other folks or resources who’ll be a better fit.

    But, if you still want to hear what I think sets me apart it’s this: I combine human-centered service design techniques, design research methodologies, and years of being a suicide prevention counselor to be fully present with you.

    I’m weird, I’m silly, and we’re probably going to be laughing as much as we’re going to be dealing with the tough stuff.

    And if you’re not into swearing like a sailor, you likely will not enjoy our time together.

  • I require everyone work with me for three months to start, but most opt to work together for 6 - 12 months. Individuals generally invest between $3,000-$12,000 to work together. Partnerships with organizations start at $10,000.

    We’ll meet often, and between our sessions you can access me via email and text - please do!

  • Truthfully, it depends on you! If your goal is to get a promotion, then we’re going to do everything (in our power!) to get you there. If it’s to raise that next round of funding - same thing.

    But, ya know, who can predict a global pandemic?

    The world sometimes has other ideas.

    And we can work together to make sure you’re bringing your absolute best to the table in the environment you’re working in.

Hear from Past Clients

  • I love my work, but I was feeling adrift trying to navigate a new corporate space. Working with Rikki I now have the confidence - and the language - to tackle my goals. I’ve figured out how to communicate with my colleagues in a way that moves things forward. I made my current job (that I enjoy!) work for me.

    Linzee T, Director of Development

  • The biggest payoff was realizing what I wanted - and that what I wanted was okay. It’s okay to focus on work life balance. It’s okay to expect more from my career in terms of making me happier. It’s okay to recognize that my past negative experiences were a result of more than just myself, and other people have had similar experiences.

    Jeff S

  • I was overwhelmed by choice, and Rikki helped me develop a strategy and tactics to feel more control over my career direction. I now make more confident and thoughtful decisions. I recommend Rikki to anyone looking to add more clarity to their professional and personal lives. I want a helpful, productive, goal-oriented coach to help guide them on a path to unleashing their potential.

    Courtland Thomas, Growth Marketing at Lyft

  • Rikki is a fantastic sounding board. She builds trust quickly and caters her approach based on individual needs. I have a clearer understanding of what I’m looking for in my next role and why I’ve been feeling stuck. Rikki allowed me space to process change and provided tools to tackle difficult situations. I highly recommend Rikki and look forward to working with her again in the future.

    Lauren, Engineering Leadership

  • Rikki's diverse career experience works as a 'magical' box of tools and ideas that can help unblock yourself and maximize the solutions you transform into action. She has helped me find my answers and move my business further.

    Philippos Frangoulis, Executive, Business and Life Empowerment Coach, HR Consultant

  • Not only would I recommend Rikki, but I would advise everyone to use her services. She guided me through the process and gave me a completely different perspective on my situation.

    Tania

  • Rikki helped me understand that I’m not making decisions for the rest of my life, but for what matters now. That what appeared like big impossible choices are a lot simpler as we change our point of view. Also we laughed a lot - which is amazing.

    Eric, Lawyer

  • Rikki helped me piece together what I wanted in my next role and map out the necessary steps to getting there.

    Suz, People Operations Manager

  • Not only did Rikki help me to make the big decisions I needed to make, she also enabled me to rebuild my confidence and my trust in myself.

    Betina Velloso Bethlem, @bornwitchy, Brand Strategist and Tarot Entrepreneur

  • Rikki created a safe space for us to discuss what I feel vulnerable about, and she made me question what I was actually afraid of.

    Danica Pantic, Artist

  • When we started working together, I would never have envisioned working for myself. Without guidance and support from Rikki, I wouldn’t have gone down this road - I wouldn’t have been able to do it on my own.

    Kate

  • Rikki’s workshops put us in a position to derive processes that we leveraged and scaled as we brought on new employees.

  • Through working with Rikki, I now have a better understanding of my unique skillset and superpowers, what I need to focus on to get to the next phase of my career, and actionable ways to get/stay on that path.

    Nicole

  • Rikki just understood. Working with Rikki, I built my palace outside of work. I took stock of how I was progressing, week over week and felt in alignment with my goals. It has had a marked improvement on my happiness, and now I am much more confident about where I want to go professionally from here.

    Priya Patel, former Curriculum Developer at Studio turned freelance copywriter

  • I didn’t know there could be someone who would help me with my goals, while supporting all the emotions and nerves that come up with them. Even when I didn’t know how to verbalize something, Rikki helped me work through that.

    Noreen Ahsan, Business Development Operations, Palantir Technologies

  • Before, I hesitated, overthought, I was afraid of being wrong. After working with Rikki, I act as the lead that I am. It’s simply my model of working. I don’t hesitate anymore. I’m less afraid of sharing my opinion. I’m advocating for others, and inviting them into the conversation. I’m able to create more space and take charge.

    Bernice, Designer

  • Becoming a parent is a transformative process. Suddenly you’re struck by the realization that your career is not at all compatible with raising a well adjusted kid, or having the work life balance you need to do preschool pick up. Since Rikki also was the parent of a young child, we had this unique shared understanding of that shift. And now I have more clarity around what comes next, for me, and my family.

    Beth H, Freelance Video Editor

  • I thought you work to pay the bills, rent, until you retire at 65. This work helped me recenter myself, connect what I’m doing with how I feel about the workplace. Work doesn’t have to be a burden. It’s something that I can work on, on an ongoing basis and draw satisfaction from it. It gave me the tools to do that. This sounds like a buzzword, but it felt like self actualization.

    Benjamin, Project lead

  • Having a trusted guide that truly cares about the outcome makes all the difference in finding the right answers In contrast to other people I’ve worked with in the past, Rikki isn’t afraid of challenging me to push me over the edge, in service of realizing my own patterns and making the changes I meant to enact.

    Anton

  • Through reflective conversations with Rikki, I finally decided that I wanted to start my own independent consulting and that I wanted to be my own boss. Rikki worked with me and taught me ways to manage clients, how to increase visibility into my company, determine sales cycles, etc. I now have the skills to return to the job hunt if I want and I have the skills to keep my independent consulting business moving forward.

    Chris

  • Rikki gives reality checks while being very loving and holding space. She was able to support me while uncovering the learnings from difficult feedback I received. Rikki helped me understand that work does not have to be where you go to seek validation, which was a big mindset shift from my previous approach to work.

    Simona S, Strategic Partner Manager, Lyft

  • Rikki has this amazing ability to be warm and empathetic but also balancing/not afraid to ask the tough questions and pushed me to be deeply introspective and honest with myself. Those conversations really brought an immense amount of clarity in my career exploration!

    Jessica M

  • Before working with Rikki, I had recently left my job without knowing what was next and didn't know where to start in figuring that out. It felt incredibly daunting and insurmountable. After working with Rikki, the process seems completely doable. I now feel like I have more of a plan and direction and a healthier mindset around the process of making a career change.

    Jessica L

  • Before working with Rikki I felt a lack of clarity about my career and my biggest concerns were direction and burnout. Rikki guided me through the emotions and the logistics of a layoff, helped me weigh my options and plan my tactical next steps for re-entry into the workforce.
