Testimonials for Rechelle Hawkes AM

We engaged Rechelle to speak at our State Management Conference regarding the realistic setting, measurement and achievement of goals.  We found that Rechelle’s engaging nature with our management team and open and frank discussion about her trials and tribulations throughout her career a real link to the challenges we face in business. Rechelle’s ability to provide such a keen insight into her own career and the reflections it has within our business ensured that all of our attendees received some insight into what it takes to succeed in the face of challenges and overcome hurdles to ensure success. The degree of information provided allowed our group a realistic and attainable measure of what it takes to rise to the top of your chosen career and to achieve the goals you set, even when faced with challenges. I have no hesitation in recommending Rechelle for your business or sporting speaking engagements

Rechelle was brilliant and a lot of what Rechelle shared with regards to teamwork, resilience, collaboration resonated with the messages we were looking to provide our management team. Rechelle spoke from a position of knowledge and with passion and humility. Afterwards Rechelle was very giving of her time and all of our managers really appreciated how approachable and real she is/was, handing out her three gold medals to be passed around taking the time to pose with many of our managers for photos and spending time at the majority of tables for discussions. No question was too hard and nothing flustered her even when we had some technical difficulties with playing a video. Our managers were still talking about the experience the day after. I would highly recommend Rechelle for future engagements.
