Feedback
Really insightful lecture, encouraging and inspiring.

Rachael gave me a very positive outlook in these gloomy times. She certainly knows how to motivate people and look for the positive and not the negative. All stuff I have heard before but we need people like Rachael to reconfirm our self belief and to carry on with my own personal mantra. She was an inspiration. We need much more of this sort of thing to keep us motivated and inspired. Thank you

Hugely disappointing, content did not accurately reflect the title and was anecdotal.

Really interesting thoughts about the economy and business at the moment.

Very inspirational, thought-provoking whilst also being practical. I would have loved some handouts though.

It was very good to have a reminder that in order to succeed, we have first to decide what it is we want. It was also good to have it confirmed that positive attitude breeds positive reaction and negative, negative. Not putting up unnecessary barriers was also helpful. In fact I have come across examples of two of these three things since yesterday!

Good to get an angle on what happens when things don't always go to plan, lessons learnt and personal growth and development as a result.

I found this session to be hugely thought provoking, and has inspired me to revisit the way I approach projects, decisions etc in the future - both professionally & personally.

Really enjoyed the positive talk given by former Dragon Rachel, plus of course interacting with everyone else present. Thank you for organising and arranging it.

An excellent event which was both inspirational and motivational.

Rachel was a truly inspirational speaker! This was the third event I had attended and by far the most interesting and enjoyable. The lady from RBS summed up how we are all feeling at the moment, rather despondent to say the least, and Rachel provided us with a much needed timely boost. I don't doubt for a moment that she will achieve her goal of £10million by 2012!

Wonderful. An inspiration to press on whilst thinking more about motives and possibilities. Rachel was a great speaker who I felt gave much food for thought.
