Rachel Schofield
Facilitator, Broadcaster & Coach
Rachel Schofield has made a career out of being curious. She spent 20 years as a journalist, reporting and presenting for the BBC, before deciding she'd interviewed quite enough politicians for one lifetime and retrained as a personal development coach (which allows her to continue to be nosey and ask powerful questions, just with nicer people). Her book, "The Career Change Guide - Five Steps to Finding your Dream Job", is published by Penguin.
She holds qualifications from the Coaching Academy, Firework Career Coaching and the ICF. Alongside her career development coaching, Rachel is a LinkedIn trainer and communication skills expert.
