About Rachel Lanier
I’m in my Tony Robbins era of relentless self-improvement. Picture me as the ultimate Brendon Burchard superfan, cheering for GrowthDay like it's the Super Bowl! I've read "The Founder & The Force Multiplier" by Adam Hergenrother not once, not twice, but three times. My brain is a well-oiled machine of systems and efficiencies, sometimes to a borderline obsessive level (you've been warned). And when I'm not optimizing everything around me, I'm geeking out over personal knowledge management just for kicks.

Embarking on my journey to secure a VP-level Chief of Staff position, I bring a wealth of experience that blends leadership, innovation, and strategic vision. My storytelling foundation was laid in childhood, when I honed my ability to convey compelling narratives. This skill has driven my professional life, enabling me to communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact.
My educational journey, with a focus on child development and intellectual and developmental disabilities, has endowed me with a deep understanding of human behavior and cognitive processes. This unique perspective allows me to approach leadership and team management with empathy and insight, fostering environments where diverse talents can thrive and innovative solutions can emerge. My commitment to fostering inclusivity and supporting individual growth is a testament to my belief in the power of diverse perspectives in achieving organizational excellence.
At a Keller Williams brokerage, I played a pivotal role in its growth phase, joining at the mid stage along side the leader and owner, and leveraging my expertise to streamline operations, enhance team cohesion, and drive business development. This hands-on experience in a dynamic environment has equipped me with the agility and foresight to excel in high-stakes executive roles.
As I seek to elevate my career to a VP-level Chief of Staff role, I am driven by a passion for strategic leadership and a dedication to fostering environments that inspire creativity and excellence. With a robust foundation in storytelling and branding, a proven track record in business development, and a compassionate approach to team management, I am poised to contribute meaningfully to any forward-thinking organization.
