From Chief Customer Officer to Networking Virtuoso

Rachel plunged into the world of networking establishing connections with 300 individuals in a year through one-on-one meetings, a remarkable feat considering she had only met five people from January to May of 2021.

Building a personalized landscape of best-in-class networking strategies

Motivated by her personal journey and eager to share her newfound expertise, Rachel founded Connection Catalyst, a facilitation-based learning company whose mission is to bring this method to the masses. Connection Catalyst offers pragmatic networking coaching tailored for professionals who find networking challenging, whether starting in their career, looking for their next role, or launching a business. 

Empowering teams to improve processes and save on costs through meaningful client relationships

Beyond individual networking, Connection Catalyst also empowers teams by teaching communication and relationship-building skills. This approach fosters valuable connections among employees, enhancing collaboration, engagement, and overall workplace satisfaction. By building strong internal networks for knowledge-sharing and problem-solving, teams can lead process improvements and achieve cost savings.

Transforming “icky” networking into “sticky” long-lasting working and private relationships

Rachel, often referred to as a networking Guru, has a unique ability to transform the often "icky" networking process into creating "sticky" meaningful and long-lasting relationships.

Rachel's personal journey of surmounting networking challenges and her zeal for aiding others to unlock their full networking potential are the pillars of Connection Catalyst.

Through her consultancy, Rachel strives to empower individuals and teams to conquer their fears, sow their seeds, and nurture a network that significantly boosts their "net worth."

Cultivating value and knowledge beyond professional growth

When Rachel isn’t passionately teaching individuals networking hacks or presenting/training teams, she can be found with her nose in a book (reading 100 pages/hour), cheering for the NY Mets and Syracuse Orange Men’s basketball, or indulging in her culinary talents in the kitchen.

Join Rachel and the Connection Catalyst community to harness the power of networking and embark on a journey toward unmatched professional growth and success.
