Work with Rachel
Background

As the daughter of academics, I’ve always valued learning. After earning an economics degree from Yale, I began my career in finance at Lehman Brothers and Fidelity, earned my MBA at Harvard, and then joined Boston Consulting Group, focusing on organization development and change. Over time I realized what interested me most wasn’t the strategy itself, but the people trying to lead through it.

That led me to coaching, first as a career coach at Harvard Business School in 2002. Since then I’ve coached more than 900 leaders worldwide through HBS Executive Education, Chief, and The Leadership Consortium.

My approach is shaped by that mix of business and human experience. I know the pressure of the seat my clients are in, and I bring both rigor and warmth to my work. Drawing on established frameworks and tools, I help clients strengthen their mindset and skillset, enhance their executive presence, and shift entrenched patterns to create lasting change.

From leaders they've coached

“Rachel Goldstein has been an exceptional coach, a true pillar of strength and inspiration. Her guidance has profoundly impacted my leadership, adding tremendous value and helping me maintain focus at every level. I love the balance of theory, diving into specific issues and core learning.”

Founder & CEO

“Rachel was the second match for me for the coaching experience and thank goodness for the chemistry sessions. As a coach, she has helped me elevate my performance with a combination of homework and ideas that I should explore and on demand help on major challenges to developing towards the goals of our time together. I can't say enough about how great of a match Rachel is. ”

Chief Product Officer

“I appreciate how Rachel balances between pushing me past my comfort zone but also supporting me when I struggle and keeps me encouraged. Every session I feel like I am operating two levels above my current performance. She's thoughtful and knows what I need and gives clear helpful things that I can work on while offering guidance that completely changes the game. ”
