Meet Rachel Adams
The Courage Coach. Leadership Facilitator. Speaker. Mentor.
For over 17 years, Rachel has helped leaders, teams and organisations unlock their potential through courageous conversations, authentic power and transformational leadership.
Rachel's Story
Leadership Begins With Courage
Rachel’s fascination with human behaviour began long before Narachi Leadership was founded.
What started as a childhood curiosity about people, leadership and what drives human behaviour evolved into academic study in Social Anthropology, followed by years of professional development in neuroscience, ontology, personality and organisational systems.
Today, Rachel brings together these disciplines to help leaders understand themselves more deeply, navigate complexity more effectively and create meaningful change in the people and systems they influence.
Her ultimate commitment is simple: helping individuals return to their power and courage so they can create systems that work for the betterment of our world

Why Narachi Exists
Narachi Leadership was founded in 2015 with a vision to help Africa realise its leadership potential through authentic power, courageous leadership and meaningful transformation.
The name Narachi reflects our belief that transformation happens in safe, intentional spaces where people can engage honestly with themselves and others. Since its inception, Narachi has worked with individuals, teams and organisations across Africa and beyond to create lasting personal and organisational change.
Until Africa's Leadership Potential Is Recognised
