Rachel Nelson, founder, Confident Communication NQ
With a background in community engagement and education, Rachel has spent the past decade managing community engagement events and campaigns for government departments and not-for-profit agencies.
Prior to that, as a qualified Drama and English teacher, she was engaging adolescents to grow and learn in a variety of education settings. From educational units for students with special needs, through to selective schools for high achieving students.
When starting out as a teacher in the 1990s she discovered that she had an affinity for working with adolescents with special needs such as ADHD, Aspergers syndrome and developmental delays. Quickly identifying that trust and confidence play a large part in a person’s progress – no matter what the starting point.
Her greatest joy came from watching students build their confidence by participating in drama productions that she directed, where enthusiasm was the most valued quality a student could bring.
