Rachel Conerly

For the past 20+ years, I’ve worked as an organization and leadership development consultant to both executives and change agents. I’ve worked with leaders at all levels and organizations of all sizes. I'm a passionate teacher and derive great satisfaction from helping my clients develop more meaningful and productive lives. I'm a fan of clarity, simplicity and practicality; I strive toward what will make a life-generating difference. I'm a leader and follower, a learner and teacher. 

Years ago, these words appeared in my mind "You need a new theology for your work." This led me toward toward a new paradigm known as the Collaborative Operating System (COS). On one level, the COS is simply a way of working that enables people to perform their work with greater results and satisfaction – a way of working that works.  On another level, it’s a blueprint for addressing super-complex and seemingly intractable problems. Studying ancient history and using this system successfully in all kinds of systems - large and small - has me wonder if the COS is based on "Cosmic" principles – one's which will work beyond our Planet Earth. 

I’m a graduate of Presbyterian College with a B.S. in Political Science. My parents (both Presbyterian clergy and family therapists) raised me with an integrated psychology and spirituality. For as long as  I can recall, I've felt called to create healthy systems. I live in Lansing, NC.
