Raechel FORD

Biography

Raechel FordThroughout my 15 year career, I have strived to consistently guide the businesses I have led to achieve extraordinary results by inspiring people to achieve more and push themselves further than they believed possible.

The personal and professional satisfaction I get from inspiring excellence and performance in others is what prompted my transition into a career in professional coaching.

My coaching philosophy is underpinned by a belief that when personal and company values are aligned, business excellence is created. The ultimate goal for clients is to help them gain increased self-awareness, which in turn allows them to take responsibility for driving performance and results. I help clients create capacity to address business issues strategically, to improve their own and other’s performance, and to achieve profitable results.

I have a diverse business experience base, instinctive people skills, refined strategic problem-solving skills, and the ability to see quickly and clearly what needs to be done in any business situation. This unique and comprehensive skill-set has helped me gain significant successes in my own management career, which has included roles such as:
• Director of Ford Consulting Group specialising in business acquisition and change management consultation
• CEO of Athena Products Limited
• CEO of The Body Shop New Zealand
• Senior roles within the Carter Holt Harvey group of companies

Recently I attained the InterDevelopMental Institute (IDM) Certificate of Developmental Assessment in traditional behavioural coaching, which is the equivalent to a Masters Degree. Currently I am studying towards the IDM Certificate of Master Certified Developmental Coach/Consultant.
