Rachel Schell

Founder of Emerging Leaders in L&D

Meet Rachel Schell, a seasoned L&D professional dedicated to empowering her peers to excel in leadership roles. With a career spanning back to 2008, Rachel's passion for L&D led her to develop herself as an “all-in-one” designer and developer. This included earning a master’s degree from the University of Central Arkansas, as well as another master’s from Southern New Hampshire University. Not to mention certifications in multiple software.

However, she soon realized that transitioning to leadership required a distinct set of skills beyond instructional design and development.
Motivated by this realization, Rachel founded "Emerging Leaders in L&D" in 2022, a thriving community comprising over 500 L&D professionals embarking on their leadership journey. Through this platform, members foster invaluable connections, exchange resources, and provide unwavering support to one another.
