what people are saying.
“What an absolute find Rachael was. I feel incredibly lucky to have connected with Rachael after a Lunch n Learn where she was a speaker – I remember thinking she is my type of person and I just want to be in her world!
As a C-Suite Executive Assistant, I found myself in a position where I was looking for additional learning and training and even sometimes just some guidance on navigating certain complexities of the role, but felt that there wasn’t really anything out there that fit the bill as a lot of it is aimed at upskilling the entry-mid level market. It is sometimes lonely in this position, you can’t share and confide in just anyone and at the end of the day no-one can really “get it” more than someone who has been in the trenches so Rachael’s insight is invaluable.
Rachael emanates warmth, understanding and genuinely cares about people and the Executive Assistant profession in particular. I joined The 1 Percent Mentorship 3 month program and was completely blown away. It is because of Rachael that I was able to clearly execute on my career roadmap. I may have had all the pieces and an overall plan in mind, but Rachael was able to provide support in a way that was deeply transformational. Whether it was a nudge in certain direction when a nudge was required, or just listening patiently while I sorted through some of my thoughts, Rachael ultimately provided a very safe place and at the same time challenged me to smash through the roadblocks that were in my path and holding me back.
I am truly grateful for the experience and cannot recommend The 1 Percent Mentorship program highly enough. If you are an Executive Assistant at the top of your game, this program should be an essential part of your toolkit!”

“I thought I’d let you know, that my CEO ended up giving me that pay rise I really wanted and I didn’t even have to ask for it. I started using techniques from the Alchemist Program and just pushed hard and he recognised my hard work and rewarded it.
With an almost 40% increase to my salary and I have your help to thank for it”

The Elite EA Academy – a wonderfully thoughtful, insightful, and valuable program for EAs of all levels, no matter where they are on their EA career journey. Rachael’s extensive depth of knowledge and experience shines through as she shares relevant insights, techniques, and crucial confidence and development tools all EAs should have in their toolkit. Our EA team undertook the program at the same time so we could develop our skillset together and incorporate best practice learnings, as taught by Rachael, into our workplace in the same fashion. The suite of modules, all of which have relevance, no matter if you are new to the EA profession or not, are current to what is happening in the corporate world today. Whether you want to up your strategic game or be exemplary in your more traditional, transaction EA role, this course will benefit you!

“Rachael presented at our Monash University EA Network Summit and blew our attendees away. Her ability to connect and include the audience in her presentation was truly incredible. Rachael's knowledge is second to none and she has set the bar extremely high for our future summits. Those that witnessed her presentation are still talking about it. A true superstar."

“I would highly recommend all Executive Assistants within a business complete The Elite EA Academy together. At our company, the Executive Assistants are spread over multiple states and will mainly converse regarding diary management. By completing this course together we felt like an actual team. It provided a unique opportunity to focus on our development and support each other along the way. ”
-ASHLEIGH
“The Elite EA Academy helped me think about my career as something to progress. I spend so much time thinking about others that it is quite uncomfortable to think about myself. I have started the conversation with my Boss about my career progression and identifying experiences I want or development I need to get where I want to be.”
— Kristi
“The Elite EA Academy has been a real lightbulb moment how much "power" or authority an EA can have. Being fairly new in my role, I didn't understand how much you can actually take control and lead, being an EA”.
-Johanna
“I've just completed The Admin Alchemist program and have come away with a lot of helpful and thought provoking information about my work and how I show up each day to support as a C-suite Executive Assistant. However the greatest takeaway I've had from participating in this course is the boost to my confidence. After listening to Rachael's wealth of advice coming from her years of experience supporting at the highest levels of business, I know I am on the right track.
This was a valuable opportunity for me to join like-minded peers from different industries, and participate in a quality program where we have challenged and developed our thinking about how we perform as Executive Assistants.
I thoroughly recommend this course to business support staff at any level. Thank you Rachael.”
— SARAH
"I’ve recently taken part in The Admin Alchemist Transformation Program. After years as a C-Suite EA I was looking for a reawakening of the ‘whys’ and the ‘hows’' of what I do. In this program Rachael uses her years of experience and insight to dig deep into the big question of identity, vision, boundaries and goal setting (plus more).
Her perspective is empowering and her content gives you real, actionable ideas you can use today. Being able to come together with other admin professionals with common goals is invaluable. Do this course! Rachael is the real deal. You won’t look back!”
-ANNE
“The Admin Alchemist Program is a game changer, all thanks to the very talented Rachael Bonetti.
Rachael has the ability to dive into what is holding her clients back, equip them with the confidence and tools needed and send them off to conquer the world.
She’s warm, compassionate and has a rock solid depth of corporate knowledge that helps her truly understand the issues faced by administrative staff at all levels, from Team Assistants to C Suite Executive Assistants.
Clients walk away from the Admin Alchemist Program with a new way of thinking about work, the confidence to show up as they truly are, and stretch goals to work towards.
I absolutely loved working with Rachael and would highly recommend the Admin Alchemist program to anyone seeking clarity on their next steps, looking for guidance on how to be heard at work or seeking a more strategic partnership with their executive.”
-KYLIE
“I would recommend the Admin Alchemist program to any admin professional, both experienced and those new to their roles. Rachael is very personable and able to draw on her years of experience to give real life examples and support.
The whole group quickly felt at ease with Rachael facilitating the sessions and I found myself looking forward to each Tuesday evening. The sessions felt more like discussion among friends rather than being spoken at and were very interactive.
After working with Rachael, I have found a new found motivation for my role and am excited to implement all of her strategies.”
— LAURA
“Rachael provides a safe space for like minded individuals to come together to learn from not just her but also each other.
The lessons I walked away with from the Admin Alchemist are invaluable and I honestly look forward to not just attending more great sessions like this one, but also in working 1:1 in the future ahead with Rachael to better achieve my goals.
Rachael taught me that my worth (and energy) is so very valued and most definitely something that should be protected.
Days after this session I walked into an important meeting for me in my professional world and I absolutely had all the confidence in the world to perform at my best - all for me”
— LINDA
“I just completed the Admin Alchemist Program and WOW! Not only was the content informative, but Rachael’s support and delivery throughout was above and beyond!
I’ve taken so much away from the program. It’s given me the motivation and the confidence I needed to apply for a promotion.
Forever grateful I reached out to Rachael - best decision ever!”
— RENAE
‘‘I do feel transformed coming out of Rachael’s Admin Alchemist Program! It was exactly what I needed to reignite my motivation, reset my mindset on how I show up at work, and get clarity on the areas I need to focus on and lean into to get to where I want to be in my career as an assistant.
I really admire Rachael for creating such a unique program that assists the assistant, which is hard to find.
It’s perfect for those looking for admin specialised personal development. I found the group discussions empowering and interesting in sharing our experiences, challenges and insights which we could all relate to.
Rachael is down to earth and an awesome mentor, and I highly recommend getting in contact with!’’

“Just wanted to say a very big thank you for pulling together a program that was insightful, relevant and fluid – the topics were inviting for comment and sharing of own experiences was invaluable.
The suggested resources and guests were thought provoking and prompted some deep self-evaluation. Will definitely be sharing my learnings with my broader team, and will be on the lookout for some more ways to get along to these EA specific forums. There is so much value in learning from experts in this oh so challenging field.
Thanks again - I loved every minute of the Impactful Leader Program”
