Hi, I’m Rebecca Courtney

Leadership Coach & Team Development Specialist

I bring 20+ years of experience working in growing organisations across technology, travel e-commerce, customer service and government/public sector environments, including almost 14 years at Booking.com in people development roles and as a people manager myself.

I know what it’s like to navigate the pace, ambiguity and competing demands that come with growth and change. I support leaders and teams to work through those challenges with greater awareness, clarity and choice, so they can respond more intentionally to what’s in front of them.

My Coaching Style

Self-reflection icon

Curious. I want to understand what's really happening before jumping too quickly into solutions.

Practical. We work with your real situations, conversations, challenges and action plans to experiment with.

Honest. I'll support you and I'll also ask the questions that may be easier to avoid.

Human. I show up with empathy and give you space to slow down, think and just be yourself.

Evidence based. My coaching is informed by neuroscience and shaped by my background in work psychology, but without all the jargon.

What it’s like to work with me

Hard questions that changed how I think

“Rebecca asked the hard questions, that made me realise you can change your way of thinking, change/create habits, or be mindful in any aspect. Highly recommend her expertise.”

Katalin, Hospitality Manager.

Confident saying no to what doesn’t fit

“I feel more equipped to assess options and make decisions, confident about saying no to where opportunities don’t align to my goals, and realistic about my timelines. The tools Rebecca has provide will last way beyond our sessions.”

Sam, Consultant.
