Personal, experience-led leadership support for business leaders who want to work through decisions, pressure and growth challenges with clarity and perspective.
Programmes & Partnerships
Structured leadership programmes and pilot initiatives developed in collaboration with organisations, funders and local partners to support sustainable business growth and improved productivity through stronger leadership.
What Leaders Say
Here are a few reflections from leaders that I have worked with over the last year:
"Rachel helped me step back and think clearly about structure, direction and growth at a critical early stage. The conversations were thoughtful and practical and gave me confidence in how I was setting the business up for the future."
Founder - Early Stage Tech Company
"As founders in the early growth phase, we needed to balance momentum with longer-term sustainability. Working with Rachel helped us to slow down in the right way, think more strategically and make decisions that felt right for both the business and us as leaders."
Founders, Engineering Business, Sheffield.
"The value was having space to think differently about my role and future direction within a growing business. Rachel's experience and perspective helped me develop more strategic thinking and approach decisions with greater clarity and confidence."
Senior Leader, Recruitment Industry.
Advantages
Through North Star, I work with ambitious leaders who value grounded, experience led support.
Here is what that looks like in practice...
From Activity to Progress
North Star helps leaders move from constant activity to purposeful progress, through clearer thinking and better judgement.
Leadership That Sustains Growth
As businesses grow and teams change, leadership needs to evolve. North Star supports leaders to grow their leadership and develop their teams in a way that sustains performance over time.
Improved Productivity
Productivity improves when leaders are clear, focused and able to prioritise effectively. North Star supports leaders to remove obstacles to progress so effort translates into meaningful results.
Experience-led, not Theoretical
North Star is grounded in lived experience of leading and growing businesses. The focus is practical reflection and real conversations that leaders can apply immediately within their organisations.
