Safe Teams. Fulfilled Potential.
In geology, an arête is a sharp ridge formed by glaciers cutting through rock; shaping something stronger, sharper, and more defined.
At Arête Leadership & Consulting, we bring that same transformative process to teams and leaders, clearing away unproductive patterns and carving pathways toward their highest potential. We want to work in partnership with your organization to foster the growth and development of your people and teams, helping both grow into the best versions of themselves for the best version of your organization.
In ancient Greek, Arête means reaching your highest potential.
Hello! My name is Rachel Williams, the owner and educator at Arête Leadership & Consulting. My passion is to help teams unlock their full potential through the creation of environments in which people are safe to bring their authentic selves to work. My years of experience leading team dynamics trainings has led me to specialize in transforming groups into thriving, collaborative communities. As a certified practitioner of the Fearless Organization Scan, I equip leaders and teams with the tools and techniques to foster psychological safety in the workplace, spark innovation, ask the tough questions, and hold themselves to mutual accountability.
The true magic of any workplace is seen at the intersection of work and collaboration, the place where individuals thrive and organizations unleash their greatest asset: their people. Through my engaging and practical training I strive to make the serious work of culture change impactful and energizing.
Introducing Rachel
Building High-Performing Teams with Psychological Safety
The single most important factor for fostering collaboration and innovation in the workplace is a psychologically safe team. When each team member feels safe to speak up, share ideas, and take risks, they will be more engaged, productive, and committed to their shared goals.
Arête Leadership and Consulting is here to partner with you to build that foundation.
My approach to team training is built on the pioneering work of Harvard Business School Professor, Dr. Amy C. Edmondson. I utilize the Fearless Organization Scan (FOS) to measure and improve the psychological safety within your teams. The FOS is more than just a survey; it is a powerful, research-backed diagnostic tool that helps understand exactly where your team stands; it informs how I tailor each training program to be perfectly suited to your organization's needs.
