Kindness is her Philosophy. 

Energy, Spirituality, Quantum Physics, Sub-Conscious mind practices, human behaviour and observation against a thorough business plan – this is Rhiannon’s  ideology.  

Rhiannon Rees, Australian-born international high-performance coach and best-selling author, was just recently selected as #1 Business & Performance Coach of the Year for 2019 by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) for her outstanding leadership and commitment to the industry. 

While inclusion with the International Association of Top Professionals is an honor in itself, only a few members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, longevity in the field, other affiliations and contributions to their communities. 
With over 2 decades of professional experience as a thriving entrepreneur and high-performance coach, Rhiannon has certainly proven herself as an accomplished professional and expert in the field.  As a dynamic, results-driven leader, Rhiannon has demonstrated success not only as an international high-performance coach and best-selling author, but she has been successful in creating both Multi-Million Dollar Companies/ Individuals and Champions. 

She is renowned as one of the most refined multi-spectrum, self-development experts in the world.  Rhiannon’s impressive repertoire of accomplishments and clients have included the Spice Girls, Grey’s Anatomy, X-Files, Private Practice cast members, NRL Roosters, as well as the 2014 ABC’s “The Conscious Farmer.” As author of the best-selling book, “How to Climb Mount Everest in Sandals-The Courage to Live an Ordinary Life”, followed by 2015’s “Life is a Choice and the Choice is Yours,’” Rhiannon’s international reputation is one of servicing the survival needs of the most vulnerable as vigorously as sophisticating the success of the elite.

Rhiannon transforms her clients businesses and their lives.  

She increases their business worth, on average between 200% to 500% gross revenue annually. Her greatest strength is not only her capacity to create completely “out of the box” ideas for business, it is also her ability to transform self-limiting beliefs in key team personnel that then sees these team members hitting goals way out of the park. 

She believes that such success has been due to her showing her clients how to break free of both conscious and subconscious self limiting beliefs around money, wealth, health, success and freedom.  

While she is in the business of growing champions, her training base starts with her own team, extends to clients, customers, and other corporations and entities interested in combining business success with conscious self-development and ethical action.

The President of IAOTP, Stephanie Cirami, stated “Choosing Rhiannon for this award was an easy decision for our panel to make.  She is brilliant at what she does and has contributed so much of her wisdom and passion to help empower professionals all over the globe.  She is humble, gracious and we felt she would make an amazing asset to our organization. We are looking forward to meeting her at the gala and know we will be seeing more amazing things from this incredible woman.” 

Throughout her illustrious career Rhiannon has received many awards, accolades and has been recognized worldwide for her outstanding leadership and commitment to the profession. For 2019 she is being considered for a feature in TIP (Top Industry Professional) Magazine, TIP Radio and for the Empowered Woman of the Year Award by IAOTP.  Also for 2019 she was selected as Top Business & Performance Coach of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) and she will be honored at their annual awards gala being held in Las Vegas. She just recently was named a winner of a Silver Stevie Award in the “Innovation in product development” category (up against governments of countries and Mammoth Multi-Nationals such as Hilton Hotels and Dell computers.) in the sixth annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. Rhiannon was presented the Stevie Award at a gala banquet at the InterContinental Hotel in Singapore on Friday May 31st.  

For the past 6 years Rhiannon has been voted one of the top 30 Global Coaching Gurus in the world and is currently ranked #10, behind the likes of Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield. She was previously nominated for Telstra’s Business Woman of the Year 3 times, a finalist in the Asia Pacific Coach of the Year 2011 and winner of the Global “Action Man” award in Barcelona 2010. Also in 2010, Rhiannon was a nominee for Entrepreneur of the Year and Runner-up in NSW “Franchise Woman of the Year.” 

Recently, she has teamed up with other fellow Global Guru’s Mark Nation (Harvard Grad and Global Leader)  and Chip Bell – (Coach to Steve Jobs and Pepsi Co’s Roger Enrico) with the honourable Marshall Goldsmith as a Guest presenter. 

Creating possibly one of the very Best and most dynamic Mastermind opportunities available to C-Suite execs anywhere in the world.

Aside from her successful career, Rhiannon also pays it forward by focusing on single parents that could never afford coaching and helps them get off the street, into jobs, accommodation and reunites many with their children that had previously been in external care.

Looking back, Rhiannon attributes her success to her perseverance, to mentors she has had along the way, and staying passionate in all her business endeavors.  When not working, she enjoys traveling, and spending time with her family. For the future, she hopes to continue to make a difference in people’s lives any way she can.

*****************************************************

10 years ago Rhiannon lost her home, business, marriage and her mind. 

In fact, at her lowest point, she was living in a tent on food bank hand outs with her then 4 year old son. She has rebuilt her life from the ground up. 

Imagine what she could do for you?
