“In January one year, when asking Rachel about her goals and resolutions, she shared that one of her words for the year was Alchemy. She explained how she was inspired by the idea that by mixing individual element (people) in the right way, one could achieve something greater (gold, community, trust). Truly, Rachel is an alchemist, though I doubt she would accept the title. I’ve heard that kindness without truth lies, and truth without kindness kills. In the two years that Rachel was my direct supervisor, I was grateful for the way she balanced truth and kindness. Rachel was truly the most effective and motivating supervisor I have had in any role, in any position, in all of my jobs. She was supportive, persistent, and never heavy-handed; she was a force for critical organization change. She took the time to develop incredibly deep relationships across a large university, and leveraged the power of people to ensure that staff, policy, and the work never got stuck. In her community, the sum of the whole was greater than its individual parts.”
