Testimonial "We had heard so much positive stuff about Rachel's headlining speech "Chat and mingle with confidence" before she gave it for our mental health conference. It was not what anyone expected or had seen before and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. She threw them completely by it not being the 'same old, same old'... she was an absolute pleasure and so thoroughly professional, and I hope we can work with her again in the future." Cynthia Parnells, WA Association for Mental Health. "Thank you for your stimulating, enthusiastic and attention grabbing speech on the "Art of Chat" which you gave as the opening address at our National Alumni conference. The "Art of Chat" was a perfect conference opener. It put the conference into high energy mode from the beginning and our delegates networked far more successfully than in previous conferences. The feedback from the audience has been overwhelmingly positive with comments such as, "The best opening to a conference I have ever attended", being typical.

Of course, within minutes we were giggling and laughing and absorbing so much information. By the end of the night our cheeks were hurting from laughing so much. After the event there was an amazing response from people, they all talked about the wide variety of help they'd gained from the night.
