The School of Life is a series of monthly evening workshops designed to equip you with practical skills every adult should know, but often never gets taught.
Too often we want to seek expert advice but cannot always afford the consulting fees. Here you can safely and anonamously ask your questions.
Access the information that youβre looking for.
From managing your money, understanding taxes and how to file a tax return, to drafting a Will or navigating lifeβs big decisions β we aim to equip you with tools that make everyday living a little easier and a little less stressful.
All you need to do is come prepared with your questions!
And hereβs the best part: every workshop you attend helps fund educational resources and experiences for the little learners at our preschool.
Why Attend?
Gain skills that save you time, money, and stress.
Ask real-life questions and get advice from experts.
Connect with other community members in a relaxed setting.
Support education for local children while you learn.

OUR NEXT WORKSHOP
17 FEBRUARY 2026
RESILIENCE, STRESS & MANAGING COMPLEXITY
Rachael KΓΆhne-Lau
Leadership Development
& Resilience Coach
Resilience isnβt just about βbouncing backβ.
Itβs about growth.
Staying steady under pressure.
And staying connected to the people who matter when life gets tough.
Join us for our next Momentai School of Life workshop on Tuesday, 17 February, as Rachael KΓΆhne-Lau opens the evening with a practical and informative session on resilience, stress and managing complexity.
Rachael KΓΆhne-Lau brings over 20 years of experience in behaviour change, leadership development, and resilience coaching, working across both elite sport and corporate environments. Her work is grounded in the following belief: behaviour change requires self-awareness, consistency and support β especially when we feel under pressure.
Rachael has worked globally, including a pivotal role within the Global Training and Education team at Matrix Fitness, where she led research, content development, and training for international sales teams and key clients. Her background in high-performance coaching and leadership resilience has helped individuals and organisations build sustainable habits, improve performance, and navigate complexity with greater confidence.
Now based in Howick, Rachael is the Head of Learning at Leaderbeing, where she designs and facilitates experiential leadership programmes rooted in adult learning theory. Her approach is practical, human, and deeply relational β focusing on energy, resilience, and the quality of our connections, both at work and at home.
At Momentai School of Life, Rachael brings this global experience into a local, real-life context. Her sessions are interactive, warm, and practical, offering tools you can apply straight away β not theory for theoryβs sake.
Outside of her professional work, Rachael enjoys small-town life with her wife, son, and two dogs.
Youβll often find her moving her body, cooking, or spending time with family β living the very principles she teaches.
