Are your services only for womxn of color?No. All self-identified LGBTQIAP2S+ women/womxn are welcome to participate. It’s invaluable for womxn of color to have safe spaces where we can show up as our full selves. If this aligns with your values and you support this, then we’d love to have you!

In addition, she served as a local elected official for 8 years and has over 20 years of experience in the nonprofit and government sectors. Raquel holds a Master in Social Work and is trained in Action Learning, neuro-emotional literacy, and self-compassion techniques.

What is restorative coaching?The RDP coaches use techniques drawn from neuro-emotional literacy, self-compassion, somatic body work and action learning to hold space and support members in getting to the root cause of their challenge. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity, and leadership. See: https://coachingfederation.org/about. Coaches don’t fix your problems for you, because they believe you are the expert in your own life. Coaches use powerful questions, deep listening and reflection to hold space for you to connect with your inner wisdom, natural strengths and your values to guide you on your own unique path. Here’s a few helpful articles to learn more about how coaching can benefit you individually, 6 Ways An Executive Coach Can Make You More Successful and your team, 5 Ways Organizations Can Get the Most out of an Executive Coach.

Do you only work with people in nonprofits and government in formal leadership roles?No. As a former elected official and social worker, RCL often works with people in mid to senior level positions in these sectors; however, we have worked with many folks in other sectors, i.e. people going through life transitions, folks feeling stuck. If you’re interested in working together then please book a complimentary call so we can see if we’re a good fit.
