Rebecca Baxter executive coach and fractional coo

Hi, I’m Rebecca, and I’ve always been drawn to the space where people ask deeper questions.

Real Work Collaborative grew out of more than a decade of working across nonprofit and private sectors, including women-owned businesses and startups. Over seven years as a COO, I helped teams grow with more clarity — supporting founders, CEOs, creative directors, and professionals alike. My background spans project management, design, sustainability, and education. While I’ve touched a lot of industries, what’s stayed constant is my belief that good work is personal and relational.

I do this work because I care about what happens when we get honest. That’s where real transformation happens. That’s where strategy meets integrity. That’s where we can build something worth sustaining.

Who I Am, Beyond the Work

I live in Atlanta with my husband, daughter, and our dog. I love gardening, cooking, yoga, and being outside — and I’m always chasing the next book or a new idea to dig into.

I believe in honest conversations, thoughtful questions, and work that reflects what matters. I value clarity, curiosity, perspective, and compassion — and try to practice them in my own life, too.
