“I often found myself operating very much in the ‘delivery detail’”

Emily was living in the delivery detail, which made it hard to step back & see the value she could add beyond task tracking. She signed up to move from being delivery focused to being confident in the strategic side of Project Management.

“I had some exposure to high intensity projects and did not necessarily know how to navigate this”

“Rachael is without doubt one of the best Project Managers I have worked with… organised, structured, focused and tenacious. She is proactive, thinking around the activities, identifying other connected parts and anticipating their implication to ensure all dots are joined.”
Simon SmileBupa

“Rachael is a fabulous trainer and mentor, and I found her at a perfect juncture in my career. Rachael’s programmes have a splendid balance of material, reflection and mentorship. I have learned so much about myself as a leader, grown in confidence (and bagged that senior promotion!) and learnt to put wellbeing first. I look forward to working with Rachael more.”
Laura HoranColliers
“For my PMO accreditation, I wanted to use a reputable and well regarded training organisation, and having been in the region for 19 years, BuiltWell was the obvious choice. Rachael is brilliant, the training is engaging and thought provoking and the delivery of the subject matter keeps it really engaging. I liked the references to real life case studies and also Rachael’s questions throughout the training which help you to visualise the techniques working in practice on a project. The analysis of how our brains work was brilliant and I have already implemented these practices (such as chunking) into my daily routine for greater efficiency. I highly recommend BuiltWell to advance your professional development.”
Sophie TannousDirector of Business Development
“Rachael’s session was extremely useful at making me feel not alone in the stressful world of Project Management. Her friendly and open manner resonated well within our group, and we all had a few laughs throughout the session, which is invaluable when the subject area can become quite heavy.”
Mica VandenBRIC by BRIC 2025
“We provide a training programme on residential housing building for graduates and new entrant members of staff working in social housing development - we purposely asked Rachael to present her excellent programme on stress management and wellbeing on the first day of the programme. Given the current position regarding health and wellbeing in the UK construction workforce, we wanted to give this maximum profile and importance.”
