Coaching and Consulting, The Red Maple Way
Deep work, real impact.
Our Story
Red Maple began because of a memorable day in the life of our Principal and Founder, Raechel:
One day, in a particularly dark and confusing year of my life, I found myself at a large bookstore looking for answers to a hot mess of problems, when I stumbled my way into insight. It went like this:
"Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because only once we truly see this truth, do we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult."
That little gem, from Dr. M. Scott Peck, ended up being one of a few "mind-blown" moments in my life, causing me to forever reframe my expectations. It taught me to stop struggling against my difficulties and, instead, to start rolling with them. To transcend them. And I desperately needed to learn that lesson, at that particular time of my life.
That was also the day my love affair with deep work, and a company that knew how to do it, first began. I decided that I would attain the skills I needed to support people in becoming whatever they must be in their lives. And that was where your story and Red Maple's started mixing.
We represent a team of people that are the best there is in the field of personal and professional development. But there is one thing I cannot stand, which is 3-point checklists or other insufficient solutions to the problems of our day. Around here, we cheekily refer to cheap fixes as “pablum.” Red Maple’s work is deep, and sometimes complex. We look forward to working with clients that want just that on the road to improving their lives, relationship and businesses.
Our Approach
We believe in doing deep work for real results. That’s the heartbeat behind all Red Maple Consulting and Red Maple Coaching services because growth is possible—and necessary. To achieve significant impact, we must dig deep and develop the people behind the professionals.
Our proven process holds tight to the inherent dignity of humans and delivers increased vitality in our clients. We go beyond presenting problems, journeying towards a greater vision of each client by addressing the deeper, unseen needs. We believe in the power of community and know that prioritizing collective health over individual interests is the kind of complicated work that sees humans thrive.
When you work with Red Maple coaching or receive Red Maple consulting, you will have a trusted partner, an enthusiastic guide, and a space for you and your team to unlock their full potential. That doesn’t mean it will always be easy, but you will never be alone.
Our Values
At Red Maple, in all our coaching and consulting, we hold to our values, paying attention to the people in all we do.
Dignity
We believe in people; that everyone is of value and should experience being valued.
Discernment
We believe in deep work. While the presenting problem might be easiest to notice, there is always more beneath the water line, and we seek to do our work in this deep place.
Movement
We believe work can be done beyond our minds, but in our whole beings. We seek to move conversations from simply theoretical to practical, tangible, and embodied.
Community
We believe the real potential lies in how we can all be better together, not anyone of us alone. The prioritization of community is the most powerful resistance to the loneliness epidemic.
