"Today, I work with an amazing team, sit in my first office, and am growing my skillset..."
“By the end of my first session, I knew I needed to change paths to achieve my vision. Together, Rayla and I made a plan, I began reaching out to my network, and I now have a new job with an incredibly supportive manager. Today I work with an amazing team, sit in my first office, and am growing my skillset beyond what I thought possible. I continue to meet with Rayla monthly to discuss roadblocks, set goals, and have accountability. Behind every successful woman is a squad of other successful women who have her back. So glad to have Rayla in my squad!”

"Rayla is the missing ingredient I needed to supercharge my work and my life."
"I began working with Rayla after seeing impactful results from a couple of friends. Since working with Rayla, I have been promoted and had a couple of salary increases, and have been recognized as a leader and advocate for causes. The firm knows I speak from my heart instead of my ego. I have been asked to represent the firm at speaking events to advocate for women and veterans. Rayla is a talented, intuitive, and empowering coach. She is a great listener and strategist. She guided me through a process to think bigger and get out of my own way. In just 6 weeks, I have seen measurable results. I have transferred to an amazing, fulfilling career.”

"Rayla helped me think about the “bigger picture” and challenged me to define my truth. Due to my time in our sessions, I am better armed to decide what are opportunities and what are distractions. Also, I took a giant leap of faith to work in a new city, and am now happy in a career. I have Rayla to thank for that."

"Rayla was the mirror that I needed to push back and help expand my thought process."
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rayla for over two years. Rayla was the mirror that I needed to push back and help expand my thought process and see past anything surface-level. Not only have I experienced individual growth working with Rayla, but my business has flourished to new heights by implementing practices we worked on together. I would highly recommend her coaching to anyone looking to experience individual growth as well as take their business to the next level - you won’t be disappointed!
"Her guidance and support allowed me to hit reset..."
"Her guidance and support allowed me to hit reset on the path I was aimlessly walking down."
"During our time together, Rayla helped guide me into a more focused approach on how I think about my future, and how to focus my efforts towards action. I usually consider myself a “doer”... but just because I’m doing, doesn’t mean it’s effective. I think I’ve always struggled with focus, and although I had all of the ingredients, it was through Rayla’s coaching that I finally developed my own recipe. She also has a way of helping me think of things as big ideas, where I’m naturally more focused on the micro-details. Her guidance and support have allowed me to hit reset on the path I feel I have become aimless walking down, and now I am forming a path that will lead me into a future where I’m living the life I’m meant to live! It’s all about a Vision, Focus and Action!”

"I’m so grateful for Rayla’s dedication and commitment to inspiring me."
"Before working together, I was really lacking a vision for myself. After several sessions with her, not only is my vision clear, but I also have a plan on how to turn that vision into a reality. I’m so grateful for Rayla’s dedication and commitment to inspiring me. There’s no way my vision would have ever been this clear without her. Thank you so much, Rayla!”

"Working with Rayla was expansive - I highly recommend her program and coaching."
"Before working with Rayla, I wasn't sure what I'd be able to accomplish. I didn't have any clear goals or understanding of what I needed to do. Rayla’s coaching gave me many moments where I truly had to think about what I wanted out of life, both personally and career-wise. I enjoyed the tasks that came out of each session. One of the many big takeaways for me was adopting a new mindset when it comes to dealing with anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. Working with Rayla was expansive, and I highly recommend her program and coaching."
