"Rachel Axelrod of Axelrod Consulting...was my speaker coach. She used to produce Chicago TEDx. She is the best of the best. She kicked my ass! I worked with her for two months to prepare for this talk. That’s how big of a deal it was today. And I couldn’t have done it without her. And I just want to shout her out because she was a game changer. I could not have done today without you. It was a huge success."

Jessica Zweig, award-winning entrepreneur, personal branding expert, and founder and CEO of SimplyBe. Agency

"Axelrod Consulting is absolutely amazing at enhancing skills and techniques for any leadership project or production. Rachel is extremely efficient. Her dedication and work as the K.W.O.E. Foundation’s speaker coach was invaluable. She spent the time to assess our leadership team for various speaking engagements, including a submission for TEDxChicago. We loved the collaborative approach to bringing out the natural best in our leaders, as she pushed to meet goals and timelines with quick-thinking feedback and constructive criticism. Rachel’s passionate support was bountiful every step of the way, and we are grateful to be stronger because of it."

Kareem Wells, Head of K.W.O.E. Foundation
