Chances are, intuition led you to this page because you:

Are feeling stressed, gaslit, lonely, exhausted, and weighed down by microaggressions at work…

Have gone through leadership training or executive coaching led mostly by people who don’t look like you…

Are constantly code-switching, covering, and assimilating — desperately trying to fit in…

OR

…Maybe you are a leader who is aware this is happening and wants to learn how to become more empathetic and inclusive.

WE SEE YOU.

WE UNDERSTAND YOU.

WE’VE BEEN THERE.

You want to feel seen, heard, and respected for who you are at work.

But when you look around at work and see very few (or no) people that look like you, it’s hard to feel
safe being yourself.

Right now, maybe you:

  • Crave approval from co-workers or bosses for constant
    reassurance that you’re “doing a good job.”
  • Feel guilty if you’re not doing something productive
    every moment of every day.
  • Are obsessive about preventing mistakes, so you constantly
    check and recheck your work (even a short reply to an email).
  • Find it difficult (even impossible) to rest without guilt.
  • Have a hard time with feedback. You find yourself defensive
    with negative feedback AND have trouble accepting positive feedback.
  • Judge others based on how much they can get done in a day.
  • Compare yourself to others and feel like you should be
    where they are or like them.
  • Rarely celebrate your accomplishments and are more
    concerned with moving on to the “next thing.”
  • Feel like you’re being judged for how you wear your hair or dress.
  • Are constantly interrupted, not listened to, and your ideas ignored.

TRUTHFULLY, FRIEND… DID WE NAIL IT?

That’s because we’ve worked with so many organizations and individuals over the years who experienced all of this ☝🏻☝🏽☝🏿and more (including our own staff)!

We know it’s soul-crushing to feel like no matter what you do or how you show up, it’s not enough in your organization’s eyes…

To expend an exorbitant amount of energy trying to fit in…

To feel isolated and alone, like no one else understands what you’re going through…

…To assume you can’t be your true self at work if you also want to be respected, heard, and promoted.

But there is a way to take back control.
A way where you CAN have it all.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO:

Be in a supportive community of people who GET IT, where you feel safe sharing ALL your experiences and 100% validated. A place where you know you belong.

Go from irrational, unhelpful beliefs like, “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t belong,” or “I must hustle to be worthy” to “I AM good enough,” “I BELONG,” and “I am worthy AS I AM” — and believe it.

Set boundaries confidently, say “no,” and REST without guilt. Imagine kicking toxic productivity or perfectionism out of your life! Read a book, be with friends, and do things just for fun and relaxation.

Feel confident, worthy, and enough even if the messages from the system tell you otherwise. You can stand firm in who you are!

Give the power back to yourself and be intentional about WHY you are at your current job. If you find it’s not serving you, you can either leave or stay… without letting them define you — the choice is yours.

Become an impactful leader with high emotional intelligence and empathy who fiercely prioritizes inclusivity

It’s time to stop letting work culture determine how you should feel about yourself and start defining success on your own terms.

We’re here to help you stay true to yourself and get the respect you deserve.

INTRODUCING…

You might not believe it now, but it is 100% possible to be your authentic self at work (no code-switching or covering) and get the promotion.

BUT FIRST, we need to become aware of and disempower these limiting beliefs that keep you feeling isolated, stressed, and burned out.

Rare Confidence is about empowering yourself and disempowering the hold that the system has on you.

You will finally feel like the worthy, competent person you are (and it’ll show)!

How will we do that?

Through powerful practices like:

INTROSPECTION. Our coaches take you through DEEP self-reflection around each limiting belief you have. We’ll reveal the WHY behind your beliefs to rewire your brain– creating new, affirming thoughts.

ENGAGEMENT. Experience coaches and a community of people who 100% get it. You can be open, honest, and real without the pressure of the workplace weighing down on you. Plus, we built in ‘off weeks’ so you and your peers can talk through everything you’re learning!

INTERACTION. This journey takes work. You won’t simply attend a training and move on… You’ll take ACTION to dismantle your irrational beliefs and start being yourself at work to succeed on your own terms.

EXPERIMENTATION. Each week, you’ll be encouraged to experiment with the teachings to see how they work in your everyday life. You’ll then discuss how these experiments went with your coaches and peers, who can answer your questions and provide feedback.

No perfectionism allowed – mistakes are encouraged here!

OUR PROMISE

Through community support, action, and self-reflection, you can OVERCOME irrational beliefs and become the person or leader you want to be.

THIS PROGRAM IS…

  • A container where you will be seen, heard, and understood by people who get it.
  • Challenging but incredibly rewarding!
  • Fun! You get to be yourself with others just like you
  • An opportunity to grow personally and professionally
  • A road to effecting sustainable, lasting change in the workplace and life

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT…

  • A venting session where participants take turns complaining
  • An easy training session where you show up and move on
  • Boring and isolating
  • A fly-by-night course that you will forget about immediately afterward
  • Flashy promises that leave you feeling the same as you did when you started the program

“It is not hyperbolic to say that working with Aiko is life-changing. She is honest and forthright, compassionate, and steady. She is a deft facilitator, and she has a way of coaching that puts the remarkable depth of her emotional intelligence on display. Being in a room with her (even virtually) is an honor. If you are a person of color interested in learning how to lead AND thrive in whatever position you find yourself in and/or have an opportunity to work with Aiko herself, DO IT!”

MEET THE CREATORS:

Rare Coaching

We are a leadership and management development agency dedicated to helping leaders of all levels navigate conflict, experience more success at work, and close the gap between who they are and who they want to be in life and at work through executive coaching, mentorship, and group programs.

The workplace doesn’t exist in a vacuum — what’s happening in society and the world is reflected at work. So we provide the space for you to be intentional about how you show up at work and live your life.

We believe that YOU have the control and get to decide what type of workplace you want to be in, and how to create that.

You don’t need to shed who you are when you come to work. It’s possible to be yourself at work while being seen, heard, respected, and getting the promotion.

We’ve seen it happen many times over with our clients over [XX] years!

WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?

When you look around at any leadership development training or executive coaching program, what do you see?

Likely very few (if any) underrepresented folx.

RARE Coaching has coaches that KNOW where you’re coming from.

Our coaches and facilitators are supremely qualified people who came from spaces where they were underrepresented or “the only.”

You are being led by individuals who truly get you and understand what you’ve been through. So you can feel safe being yourself and taking action in a supportive environment.

Plus, our cohorts are intentionally made up of people who’ve had similar experiences, so everyone can speak up, feel comfortable being vulnerable, and learn from each other.

Inclusion is our top priority, and creating space for EVERYONE means allowing traditionally underrepresented groups to take up more space.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Aiko Bethea’s two main values are justice and loyalty.

From a grassroots community organizer to serving as an attorney on the Government Counsel Team led by Stacey Abrams, to working for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to founding RARE Coaching & Consulting…

Aiko has been living out those values in everything she does.

Throughout her life, she has constantly been in spaces where most people didn’t look like her.

But by standing strong in her values and discovering her voice, Aiko has been able to live the life she wants and be exactly who she wants to be.

And she consistently helps leaders do the same.

She created this group coaching program for people like YOU who are ready to be themselves and make a greater impact at work!

Are you ready to experience success on your own terms?

“Aiko is one, if not the best facilitator I’ve ever had the pleasure of engaging with. Her ability to lead yet share space, be direct yet gentle, and be nurturing yet keep it real is unprecedented. Her capacity to lead by example and provide BI-POC folx a container to be vulnerable with not only each other but themselves is invaluable.

Here’s What’s Included…

A COMPREHENSIVE 75+ PAGE WORKBOOK

This workbook stands on its own with its incredible value. As we go through the program, you’ll use this workbook to complete activities, take notes, answer journal prompts, and more.

This workbook is the KEY to taking everything you learn through this program and implementing it into your life!

FIVE 90-MINUTE GROUP CALLS

The meat of the program! Here, you’ll meet with our coaches and your peers to learn how to overcome the irrational beliefs that hold you back.

This program creates a space for you to be seen and heard by a community of people who share similar experiences.

These group calls are held bi-weekly to provide plenty of time to complete the activities and implement the teachings into your life to create lasting change.

SELF-STUDY WEEKS

You’ll have “off” weeks between the group calls, which are just as crucial for self-growth.

You can use this time to experiment with what you’ve learned in your day-to-day life, collaborate with your peers, and take extra time for self-reflection.

We believe in sustainability and REST…

…So we intentionally created space between our group calls so you can take your time, connect, and apply what you learned.

(This structure is something you won’t find in other programs.)

A NOTE FROM AIKO

I spent years in spaces where no one else looked like me or understood my experiences. It left me feeling exhausted, gaslit, and isolated.

But through realizing my worth and enoughness despite being different, engaging in a community of people who understood me, and discovering my unique voice, I could show up as the ME I wanted to be.

I found success on my own terms and want to help YOU do the same.

No more chasing perfectionism and reeling from toxic productivity.

You can be yourself AND be respected at work.

I know that might not feel possible right now, but if you do the work and take action, you WILL experience success.

Are you ready?

Let’s do this!

Aiko provided BI-POC leaders with tools and wisdom that fostered self-reflection, empowerment and an innovative lens to approaching white dominant work cultures.
