Rachel B.
“Clarity. Confidence. Momentum. I empower clients from uncertainty to purposeful action.”
I've spent 25+ years where law, leadership, and people meet—first as a litigation attorney, then as Chief Human Capital Officer and Deputy General Counsel in the federal government. I led major agency reorganizations, managed a $13M budget, and helped boost employee engagement by 28%.
But behind the titles, I felt boxed in by gender-biased cultures and often felt like a fraud. Finding a circle of women who accepted me as I was changed everything. I saw what becomes possible with a safe space, honest feedback, and real accountability and I wanted every woman to have that.
That's how I found coaching. I founded The Leadership Companion, facilitated 620+ group coaching sessions, and serve as a Guide at Chief. My approach blends legal precision, executive strategy, and deep empathy. I challenge my clients and champion them.
Where do you want to be a year from now? I'd love to help you get there.
“Rachel Bouman has been an incredible executive coach! I can’t say enough about her talent. I’ve had executive coaches in the past and not one has come close to Rachel. She is gifted but not arrogant. She can lead but also follow. She can coach, guide and listen seamlessly. Rachel is easy to trust; highly intelligent; challenging but also easy like a wonderful Sunday morning; committed to a better humanity and acts on that; is passionate about her work and our work; and ensures discussions are high value and relevant. I feel very fortunate to have had the time I did with her and highly recommend her. ”

“At a certain point in my career, I needed a professional outside of my work sphere who could provide an objective view and advice in tackling career-based challenges. Rachel was the right person I needed. I had just changed my career field and needed advice on how to manage all the new responsibilities and challenges I was facing. Rachel is a powerhouse of experience. She knows how to help individuals hone their weakness and strengths and to channel them into positive energy. I am so thankful for her structured view, as well as her empathetic nature to understand my situation. Thanks to Rachel, I feel like I have grown professionally and personally. Each coaching session was worth the investment and I highly recommend Rachel as a coach. ”

I found myself navigating a new career change and Rachel was instrumental in building up my confidence as well as comfort leaning into skills I had been minimizing. She was personable and flexible, changing our schedule for any last-minute interview prep. With her help, I have now started a new and exciting career! I would recommend her services to anyone looking to grow in their current role or taking a chance in a new field.”
