Rahel Y. Smith (she/her)
Founder, Values Forward Leadership
My background includes many years of social justice and anti-racism work, peer-to-peer counseling practice, and experience with strengths-based models. These all influence my coaching approach, rooted in a firm belief that each of us is brilliant and resourceful, with the internal wisdom and capacity to shape our own path.
With 20 years as a nonprofit and business professional, I’m familiar with human resources, finances, and operations. I’ve experienced firsthand the daily trade-offs and challenges faced by executives and leaders at all levels.
