about

Hey there
I'm Rachel Smith, and I run Eye Think. I spend my time helping clients realise their ideas for the future. I have 16 years of experience, as an architect and designer for 6 and 10 as an Executive Coach and Visual Thinking consultant.

Boundary-pushing leaders and teams bring significant progress to our world, though their different way of seeing can make them feel like an outlier. I know because I am one of them. I see how energising it is for these people to be supported and go on to achieve phenomenal success.

Clients have described my approach as intuitive, insightful and empathetic and of “repeatedly getting to the essence of any topic”. They quickly feel at ease in the trusted space we create together. There isn't a client that hasn't benefited from using the drawing process to support their success. It seems we are just hard-wired for images.

I am a qualified architect (ARB) and a professional coach (EIA qualified with the EMCC). It's a bit of an unusual combination, but one that creates significant change in clients who come to work with me.

"Rachel was great at building confidence in the room, she always looked for the positive in people's contributions and encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and draw."

In our visual world, there is nothing that cuts through the noise, like an image.  Eye Think uses the drawing process to achieve breakthrough thinking for leaders and their businesses.  

Commanding deep attention and simplicity, whilst communicating with disarming accuracy, drawing and Visual Thinking really is the most relevant tool for our current generation to approach change and growth.

Hey there, I'm Rachel Smith, and I run Eye Think. I spend my time helping clients realise their ideas for the future. I have 15 years of experience, as an architect and designer and now as a Coach and Visual Thinking consultant.

Boundary-pushing leaders and teams bring significant progress to our world, though their different way of seeing can make them feel like an outlier. I know because I am one of them. I see how energising it is for these people to be supported and go on to achieve phenomenal success.

Clients have described my approach as intuitive, insightful and empathetic and of “repeatedly getting to the essence of any topic”. They quickly feel at ease in the trusted space we create together. There isn't a client that hasn't benefited from using the drawing process to support their success. It seems we are just hard-wired for images.

I am a qualified architect (ARB) and a professional coach (EIA qualified with the EMCC). It's a bit of an unusual combination, but my exceptional results prove that this is something a little bit special.

"Every session with Rachel moves me closer to where I want to be."
"Her ability to draw the coaching conversation as it’s happening captures things that aren’t quite said. It provides immediate perspective which she uses to gently challenge and fiercely encourage. Her coaching has helped me psychologically recover from cancer, and step out once more to lead a new business. Unreservedly recommended.""

- Kate, PR Director
"Rachel’s coaching has had a significant and sustained impact on my personal and professional life."
She supported me to unearth underlying motivators and harness them to create positive impact. Challenged me to confront limiting beliefs and reduce or eliminate their limiting powers. Held me to my commitments, ensuring I followed through to action

I found that Rachel seamlessly adapted her coaching approach to support and often accelerate my realisations and commitments. From challenger to supporter to co-pilot and acting as my conscience, Rachel had an intuitive ability to play the right role in any given moment.

- David, CEO
"I took so much from my experience of coaching – the personal growth I saw in myself within four months was significant"
"Together, we were able to unpack the triggers and patterns which drove my behaviours. This helped me re-balance my interactions at work, and improved my capability as a leader. Rachel has a fabulous toolkit to support this improved self-awareness and I benefitted from the way she used drawing and immersive experiences with me."

-Naomi, Senior leader, Bank
