I chose the name Brave Heart (before I saw the Mel Gibson movie!) because it takes courage to change. Change is hard—and it is possible. My work is about helping people take and keep taking courageous, and most often small, steps that add up to big change – and accomplishing what they want to do.

I am Pam Rechel of Brave Heart Consulting and have coached hundreds of managers over 20 years to help them manage employees and make effective changes in their organizations.
I’m passionate about helping managers make friends with change because for too many years I and a whole lot of great, talented teammates suffered in work environments where people worked hard but didn’t get great results; didn’t have much fun and were worn down by constant change. |

| I was tired of not meeting the big goals or making a significant difference in the company. I know it doesn't have to be this way. |
A defining moment for me was getting fired. Yes, I got fired from my job. And, I didn't get a warning that there were things I needed to change to be more effective. There is a happy ending to this. As I reflected on the situation, I realized that I’d tried to take on way too much work. I thought if I just worked harder and longer that I could get it all done. What I really needed to do was to reprioritize my work, get some things off my plate and focus on the few huge projects that were most important.
And, I learned that it was time for me to move on. Getting fired was a great blessing, although it wasn’t crystal clear at the time. I think I’m a much better consultant as a result, even though it’s a bit hard for me to share this with you now. And, I’ve become expert at how to communicate difficult messages in a way that the message can be heard and understood.
I’m a lifelong learner and have a Master's degree from the Leadership Institute of Seattle (LIOS/Bastyr University) in Coaching and Consulting in Organizations, an M.B.A. from George Washington University in Information Management, and an M.S. in Education Administration from Syracuse University.
I hold the highest certification for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) facilitators, including Step II, and have facilitated Myers-Briggs team workshops for 10+ years in the U.S. as well as, Singapore, Taiwan, and Ireland.
Other training certifications include: Seven Habits for Highly Effective People, 360 degree Profilor, Interaction Associates Coaching and Behavioral Interviewing.
