COACHING, CONSULTANCY And EVENT SHOWCALLING

Enabling success in everything you do

Supporting individuals and organisations to find their way through a problem or challenge and create a solution that works for them

A little bit about me

I'm Rachel Washington, founder of Enabled by RW and I am here to enable your success.


I am a

  • coach who works with individuals to create their own ‘mic drop’ moment, creating confidence in their communication and public speaking;
  • consultant who works with organisations and teams to enable successful project delivery;
  • showcaller / event manager in sports and corporate events, supporting the overall event team to deliver successful experiences to their audiences.


I've always wanted to have an impact on people's experiences, giving people the chance to be the best version of themselves and enjoy it along the way. What you do shouldn't be stressful, it should bring you joy, fun, laughter and a sense of achievement. I am here to enable that joy, fun, laughter and support you to achieve. Whether that is working with you as individual to help you become a confident speaker, host, facilitator or as an organisation to help you deliver on your project / programme.


I moved out of the employed corporate environment to create a life of variety, to give myself a challenge and see what I could achieve under my own steam. I love working with individuals and teams who want to have their own impact. I love events for the live, high energy and 'in the moment' environment it creates. I love working with individuals who just need a helping hand to get to the point of backing themselves in whatever they want to do.

A fantastic 60 min session, which gave me practical hints and tips that helped me to prepare for, facilitate and adjust my delivery style in real time. I left the session with a lot more than I was expecting! (Sorina)

My 'Mic Drop' session with Rachel was insightful. We explored my anxious thoughts which occur when I am speaking to large audiences. Rachel helped me reframe these thoughts and gave me practical strategies and tips to reduce their impact. She took the time to truly listen to me and was genuinely interested in understanding the complexities of the triggers to my anxious thoughts. Rachel is an open and approachable person who has a very calming and grounding influence on the people she coaches and supports. (Becky)
