Instead of dreading the next opportunity to speak, I am looking forward to working with you to nail down 'whatever' it was that you gave me. I can't thank you enough.

Because of her help, I not only gave a great speech, but ended up winning a ribbon for best speaker that night (against some pretty tough competition). Couldn’t have done it without you Rachel! Do yourself a favor and ask Rachel to coach you for your next important speech." -- Emma Hitt, PhD, Technical/Medical Writer
"If you're looking for someone to provide some good constructive feedback regarding your communication and/or public speaking skills, Rachel is the perfect public speaking coach, that can assess your strengths and /or weaknesses....Rachel provided me with good feedback and tips that will allow me to become a more comfortable speaker. Not only did Rachel provide me with tips, but she acknowledged and praised me for the things I did right. I felt really good inside. I had an opportunity to take the negatives and turn them into positives.

"I felt very comfortable working with Rachel. Very professional." -- Frederic Payet, Art Space International

Naddor and Associates - Communications Workshops
"Your workshop was so awesome. You are a great catalyst and coach. Thanks for the inspiration. It was fun, too." -- Free Polazzo, DSD Business Solutions of Georgia
''I attended one of Rachel's speech workshops and all I can say is - WOW! She really helped me not only to refine my pitch, but also with the delivery. She focused me on the words and phrases that were important to emphasize, the body language, the delivery style and the overall presentation. She helped me turn my elevator speech from something that was feature oriented and all about me and my company, to one that is benefit oriented and all about my prospects and clients. She also showed me how to grab the audience's attention right away and how to finish with a stronger close so people will remember me. Thanks, Rachel. Your service is priceless!'' -- David Salomon, Director, Expense Reduction Analysts
"I started working with Rachel one-on-one....For extra reinforcement I recently took her confident speaking workshop. The Saturday after it ended, I was attending a meeting where I was unexpectedly asked to speak in front of 40 people in the room. I was completely relaxed. It was unbelievable. I was making jokes, they were laughing, and I realized I was having fun! Rachel is the first person who I've felt really believed in me." --Yolanda Preiss, Take Shape for Life
''I attended one of Rachel's workshops and it was time and money well-spent! Not only did I get good coaching on what to include in my presentations, but also mentoring on the presentation itself. The excellent additional reward was meeting others in the class and developing mentoring relationships with them and with Rachel. As a result, two of us who attended this session are doing business with each other! And at every large networking meeting, when any of us sees another member of our group, we know we have a supportive friend cheering for us. That is a fringe benefit money can't buy!”-- Suzanne Willhite, Owner, Coffee News
"Rachel is an excellent speaker to begin with and she is an even better coach for those of us that are not. Her workshop helped me overcome my nervousness of speaking in front of a group. The tips and suggestions really made sense and I’ve been using them ever since.”-- Frank Kellert, Financial Advisor
''I attended your public speaking round table (Georgia Coach Association) on the 14th. Your presentation was the best of the five I attended and I had many excellent takeaways. Thank you." -- Keyuri Joshi, Owner, On the Ball Parent Coaching
"You were awesome [at the Georgia Coach Association Roundtable of Experts]" -- Blanca Blaney, Aspiring Coach
''I cannot begin to thank you for those speech tips during the Elevator Speech seminar. I will start using them immediately. Thank you Rachel. If I come across ANYONE who is having problems with public speaking, I will give them your contact information. Also, at your class I made two very good business contacts...so your seminar not only helped with my public speaking problems, it also allowed me to network. I say that is one great return on my investment!'' -- Diane Offutt, EA, MAcc - Enrolled Agent
''Very productive workshop! I appreciated the comments to help me go further in my business. Thanks!'' -- Ruthanne Colick, Take Shape for Life
''Hello Rachel! I thought the Elevator Speech Class was great. I started practicing and found your tips really help. I learned some very important tools that I can use for life. Thank you so much for all of your help. I look forward to seeing you at future networking events. Sincerely, Denise Carter'' -- Denise Carter, AAA Insurance
''I attended a speaking seminar Rachel put on one evening. It was very well designed and conducted and included part discussion and part live speaking segments by all the attendees. Rachel and the others offered encouragement and suggestions for each of us. I found it effective and I came away with more confidence and a good sense of what I can work on to improve. I'd recommend for sales people and professionals. -- George Dyke, Investigative Accounting Group
''I recently attended a mini workshop on Public Speaking given by Rachel Naddor. I originally met Ms. Naddor when she spoke at a public community meeting. I was immediately impressed with her presentation, confidence, and ease at speaking in front of a large audience. As an witness who is hired to provide expert financial testimony in court for both marital and estate disputes, and as an instructor of graduate and undergraduate accounting, finance, and taxes I am often required to speak in front of large audiences. I have tried a few of the speaking tips I learned from Ms. Naddor's workshop before my largest undergraduate accounting class, as well as a graduate accounting and tax class. After two of the graduate classes, I received the highest reviews I have ever had in over sixty classes that I have taught. After utilizing the tips I learned from Ms. Naddor workshop before my beginning financial accounting class (over eighty students) my next semester’s intermediate accounting class closed out (maximum attendance) in less than one day of registration. I have received another half dozen requests from students to allow them in my class. I attribute a large part of this success from the lessons taught in Ms. Naddor's workshop. I am planning on meeting with Ms. Naddor to receive one-on-one assistance. I highly recommend Ms. Naddor to anyone who needs to make a positive impression on a small or large group. Her guidance with respect to speaking with confidence, making personal contact with members of the audience, and improving your presentation are invaluable. Please feel free to contact me for additional information on this workshop.'' -- Martin S. Varon, CPA, CVA, JD
"Rachel impressed our group of already experienced communicators with her communication skills recently. She quickly got our attention and had us involved in lively constructive debate. We all walked away with additional tools to help us improve how we interact with others. I recommend you consider Rachel for your next event.'' -- Peter Gibson, President of North Atlanta Business Association
"Public speaking does not come naturally to many individuals. Being in command of the subject matter is a major part of one's presentation success. Your session, however, highlighted several areas that we tend to overlook. I especially noted your comments regarding PowerPoint inclusion. Thanks again for your time. I would be pleased to recommend your services to individuals or companies seeking training for employees." -- Vic Anapolle, The Bill Sims Company
"Rachel...Many, many thanks again for your contribution this past Tuesday! It was so obvious that you were a hit & connected with our clients, I could hear the energy you created & the applause for the role players!" -- John Marotto, Director of Career Quest Ministry at Catholic Church of St. Ann
''Hi Rachel, I had to do a "long" presentation this morning at one of my networking meetings. It ended up being about 10-15 minutes. I did a brief 3 minutes or so on me, then went into a bunch of "did you knows" about individual taxes. I wanted to share with you a comment I received: "Great job today Cathy! I often act as a "straight man" for the speaker but it wasn't necessary today. You brought a topic many of us find "distasteful" to life and made it interesting. No indication of being nervous - it was like you lecture on taxes all the time." I will now be able to endorse you at the Leads meeting. I was afraid to do it last week. Didn't want to embarrass you by messing up. Getting more comfortable all the time, Cathy Wright, Wright Tax Solutions, LLC
''I recently had the pleasure of hearing Rachel speak at a business networking event and was so inspired by her. Rachel is a dynamic public speaker who has a natural gift of speaking comfortably and confidently in front of others. I am in advertising sales and I learned a lot about how I can be a better sales person.'' -- Ginny Gross, Outside Media Consultant, Around Town Community Magazines, Inc.
''I think you did an excellent job of highlighting both the strengths and weakness of a speaker. You offered constructive advice on how to make a person a more effective and comfortable public speaker.'' -- Steven Ellis Esq., The Ellis Law Firm, LLC
''Even though you were very much in control of the crowd and certainly imparting important and very helpful information, I found your style surprising and I mean that in a good way. Your approach was so refreshing, very calming and almost soothing. So many workshop speakers I've heard at various networking sessions or outreach programs have had a good message, but delivered it in almost a bombastic way, too forceful, too intense. You managed to make your key points, engage your audience, and share some laughter, which is always most welcome. I especially appreciated your comments regarding what to do w/hands and arms, particulars for girls and guys! Somehow mine are constantly in motion and not necessarily in a good way.'' -- Helene Sowerby, Customer Service/Client Relations Management
''I found your program to be very informative and helpful I will certainly pass on your information to other organizers.'' -- Marilyn Clinton, Creative Organizing Systems
'' After listening to Rachel about public speaking, I learned several things. The one that struck me the most is it's okay to be nervous. Rachel is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. No matter how many times you've spoken, Rachel can help even more.'' -- Mollie Beattie, Reverse Mortgage Corporate Loan Officer
"I wanted to thank you again for coming out to address our Job Readiness group here at Bobby Dodd Institute on public speaking. The information you delivered was unlike anything we could have imagined. The feedback from the clients was outstanding and extremely positive. Your warm energy was greatly received along with the helpful tips on making what to some seems impossible, possible. Again, thanks, and we look forward to having you again in the future." -- Tim Alexander, The Bobby Dodd Institute
