Rachael is a wonderful speaker who connects emotionally and intellectually with every member of the audience.  She is generous in sharing her leadership insights which, combined with her fascinating and unique experiences in Antarctica, create a truly inspirational and memorable story.  Rachael was an absolute pleasure to deal with, professional in every regard, focused on extracting the maximum value and tailoring her insights to the audience.  As a result, the feedback from the forum was absolutely outstanding.  Thank you Rachael!

If you have big ambitions, then being big on the little things as a leader is critical. The little things help the important 4 letter words—care, give, team and best—come to life. Rachael is one of the best when it comes to teaching and inspiring leaders on why little things matter.

Rachael was a pleasure to have at our event. A crowd pleaser, she had the audience enthralled with her incredible story. She was happy to participate in a Q&A onstage and provide a few video quotes for social media afterwards. After her talk we decided we wanted to give away copies of her books to all attendees. She happily organised for 75 signed copies to be delivered to me the following week so that we could hand them out to guests. Rachael was a delight from the first conversation we had pre-event, to the end. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an inspirational speaker for their event.

I have had more positive feedback about this session than anything we have done in the last 2 years.  People have been quoting “bacons wars” and “no triangles” at me all day. Very inspirational. Brad Shaw,  WorleyParsons Services Ltd

Rachael presented to over 3000 people at our safety week. The feedback was extraordinary and 6 months later we are still talking about her insights and using her tools. Damien Smith, HSE, Chevron

Rachael was incredibly interesting and different to most speakers you usually see at these kind of events. She was honest, engaging and made her experience relevant to us. We just wish we had more time with her.  Lucas Kiely, UBS

I have never received so much positive feedback from a guest speaker as Rachael. Her fantastics messages and insights can be easily applied in our business. Her unusual and interesting stories made her message even stronger
