About me

I’m Raechelle McLean - change adviser, leadership coach, mentor and trusted thinking partner to executives, transformation leaders and high-growth organisations.

For more than two decades I’ve worked inside complex programs, transformations and moments of organisational stretch - where decisions matter, pace counts, and clarity is the difference between progress and stall.

I’ve led, coached, advised and supported leaders across government, higher education, financial services, retail, national sporting organisations, telcos and other industries- always with a human-first lens and a bias for action over noise.

I help leaders navigate complexity, accelerate capability, and deliver change with confidence.

• Capability outlasts confidence - but leaders need both.

• Change is behavioural, not theoretical.

• Clarity beats complexity - every time.

• People don’t resist change - they resist ambiguity.

• You can build capability or dependency - never both.

I choose capability.
I build confidence.
I back leaders to lead.

I’m not a consultant who sits outside the work - I’m a partner who helps you shape it.

My approach blends:
analyse · empathise · identify · advise · execute

It’s structured enough to create direction, and flexible enough to meet leaders where they are.

You’ll get:

• truth delivered with empathy
• strategic guidance grounded in delivery
• behavioural insight that cuts through noise
• capability that endures after engagement ends
• clarity that accelerates decisions and outcomes

I’ve worked across transformation and capability in organisations where momentum matters - including large ERP and digital programs, enterprise change portfolios, workforce uplift initiatives and rapid advisory engagements.

My work includes:

• Program & change advisory in multi-year transformation environments
• Designed and implemented enterprise change practices
• Leadership coaching for executives and senior leaders
• Capability uplift & mentoring for emerging change practitioners
• Rapid assessments that accelerate decisions and remove ambiguity
• Ideation & strategy labs that unlock potential and direction

I’ve contributed as a speaker and facilitator across leadership, change and capability - including Agile Australia, the Cemeteries Trust Conference, and the Club of United Business - and co-developed practical insights for practitioners including the Change Management Institute whitepaper (2015) on agile ways of working.

I also facilitate employee listening and behavioural insight workshops using platforms such as Workday Peakon and Culture Amp - because data means more when it connects to behaviour.

Because when stakes are high, you need someone who:

• sees patterns in behaviour and delivery
• says the truth without ego
• creates clarity quickly
• builds capability, not slide decks
• helps you lead - not just manage

You don’t need another voice in the room.
You need a partner who helps you move.

• a cookie-cutter methodology
• a glossy slide deck instead of progress
• an outsourced opinion with no ownership
• dependency - I build capability, not reliance
