" Rachelle, I’m so thrilled that we have been able to work together again. Thank you for bringing your calm, positive, expert Agile Magic to DQGE. You have had a hugely positive impact on the team and I’m excited to see them embracing our new ways of working with such enthusiasm."

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rachelle as part of a large-scale Agile transformation, and continue to do so today. She is one of the most capable and impactful Agile Coaches I’ve worked with. Rachelle brings a deep understanding of Agile frameworks and coaching practices, combined with a hands-on, thoughtful approach that resonates across teams and leadership alike. Her facilitation skills are exceptional — whether she's leading interactive workshops or delivering sessions using the Training from the Back of the Room (TBR) methodology, she consistently creates meaningful engagement and impact. She’s a trusted partner in any transformation — sharp, proactive, and truly committed to building lasting capabilities."

Rachelle exemplifies the ultimate trainer. I attended her Training from the Back of the Room (TBR) and her mastery of commanding the room, then getting the room to command itself were extraordinary. She has all the core skills of building and extraordinarily psychological safety spaces, but also a natural inclusivity and empathy I have rarely seen in over 40 years in I.T. She has expert, extensive experience off the TBR technique and that was evident in her confident, and natural delivery of the TBR course. As for the TBR technique itself - if training others with memorable, relatable techniques that are incredibly effective , while being great fun my advice is.. be kind to yourself , check out the next availability for her TBR training, and nab yourself a place. So if it’s facilitation to brainstorm, drive retrospectives, to innovate and create, or training on agile, or TBR <- which I cannot encourage enough to treat yourselves with, Rachelle is your go to person. There used to be a saying back in the day. “Nobody ever gets fired for choosing IBM”. Well. When it comes to facilitation, training, or supporting you or your company with any training experience - especially the secret sauce of TBR - “Nobody ever gets fired for choosing Rachelle Williams”. Thank you Rachelle for having such a profound effect on the way I think about and deliver learning, facilitation and training experiences - even those just for myself.

I absolutely recommend Rachelle’s course to any educator seeking practical, engaging strategies to enhance their teaching. As someone who teaches diverse student groups, undergraduates in extended face-to-face sessions and MSc students in online formats, I found the session truly inspiring and immediately applicable to my practice.Rachelle offered thoughtful, evidence-based techniques that I’ve already begun to implement. For my undergraduate classes, I’ll be incorporating movement breaks and structured pauses every 45 mins to help maintaining focus and energy. For my online MSc sessions, I’m introducing more pair activities to encourage active participation and deeper learning. The emphasis on interaction and inclusivity was particularly valuable, I’ve realised that smaller group formats, like pairs, can help quieter students feel more confident and engaged.Rachelle’s session has not only refreshed my approach to teaching but also equipped me with tools that will benefit my students directly. I highly recommend it to colleagues across disciplines who are looking to enrich their teaching practice.

Working with you has been a genuinely positive experience. One of the things I appreciated most was how approachable and calm you were, no matter how many moving parts we were juggling. You have a way of creating a safe space where people feel comfortable to speak up, even in tricky or uncertain situations. Your ability to facilitate workshops stood out — the one we had in UK was very structured, but never rigid. You brought clarity and focus without making it feel overly formal, which really helped everyone stay engaged and aligned. What I valued most was your focus on people, not just process. You never just "ran the ceremonies" made sure they had purpose, and that everyone involved understood the why behind what we were doing. That made a huge difference in helping us move from just doing Agile to thinking Agile. Looking back, one big takeaway for me is how much impact a thoughtful, steady Agile coach can have - especially when things are uncertain or cross-functional dependencies are high. You helped surface challenges early and encouraged collaboration instead of blame. That made a real difference in how we tackled blockers and kept momentum. Thank you for everything, your presence definitely brought both clarity and calm to the team.
