Who we are

Rachel Lyons Learning is led by Rachel who is an expert in leadership, management and personal development. For the last 16 years, she has been working with the executives and employees of leading financial institutions and blue-chip companies including the Bank of England, the London Stock Exchange, HSBC, Barclays, RBS, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Schroders, Deutsche Bank and CitiGroup. Rachel is able to bring both subject matter expertise and a confident, enthusiastic and energetic delivery style to the training room. She has studied theatre at degree level and regularly performs comedy in front of a live audience. Using warmth and an ability to command the room, she ensures learners finish their training stimulated and impatient to put into practice what they have learnt. Before becoming a coach, Rachel worked in human capital management at Goldman Sachs. This experience at a world-leading investment bank means she understands financial services from the inside and can design training which is relatable and relevant.

Rachel is supported by a roster of partners and associate trainers who between them have decades of experience training the executives and employees of leading financial services firms across the globe.

worked with

Testimonials

"I found Rachel to be very in tune with the issues we raised and she let the course naturally follow the direction we were going in rather than sticking to a rigid and inflexible order. The other 'value add' was that due to Rachel's experience in other areas she was able to draw on some related topics (i.e. negotiation) to enhance the course. All topics were backed up with credible reference material with good suggestions for further reading etc."

"Fantastic webinar from Rachel of Three Point Five. In webinars there’s usually a nugget or two and a load of boring time to catch up on e-mails, but this webinar had me, and from what I hear through the follow up chatter, everyone else, focused throughout and soaking up the great tips and advice. Straight language that we can use in the workplace right away."
