From Our Clients

Rachel's teaching methods are not only comprehensive but also highly creative strategies where even the most subtle tweaks drastically enhanced my public speaking performance.

– Samantha Ory, General Partner, Ouroboros Group

Rachel did an incredible job teaching our entrepreneurs the importance of non-verbal communication before pitching their companies to investors. Not only did she explain the importance of body language, her program also gave very practical, actionable advice that our class was able to implement immediately. I am confident that her program gave our entrepreneurs more confidence and credibility during their presentations.
