What people are saying!
"Ferrell helped draw out the very best qualities in me to help me feel amazingly prepared and confident throughout. This was pure gold to me. Had I done it on my own, it would not have had the same result. The magic of her brilliance is in her graceful strategy to help you stand out (in the most positive way) from other candidates all the way from resumes, to interviews and salary discussions. So grateful!"
- Harsimrit Kaur Khalsa
Organizational and Administrative Expert
"Ferrell is like a trusted friend who instantly makes you feel at ease and supported. Through the coaching process, she nurtures and elevates you - resulting in a powerful speech. Ferrell is a dynamic listener with a magnificent ear, and taught us to love and express the nuances, humor and power in our talk."
- Angelica Rosas McDaniel
Latinx Emmy award-winning TV Executive, Public Speaker, and Founder of Raise Women
"Ferrell Marshall provided us with all the coaching tools that we needed to inform and inspire the audience during our 2018 TEDxPasadena talk. With her rigorous coaching, we channeled our nerves into positive energy, confidence in ourselves, and comfort on stage. She was always enthusiastic and encouraging. She is a dynamic listener with a magnificent ear, and taught us to love and express the nuances, humor and power in our talk. We will totally work with her again and happily recommend her to anyone who needs a coach.

"I had the absolute privilege of working alongside Ferrell in preparation of my TEDx talk. During every single practice session—of which there were many—Ferrell was consistently supportive, articulate, and insightful. While some have an understanding of syntax and dialect, fewer have an additional appreciation for story, and fewer still have the ability to convey those complexities with kindness and warmth. Without her, my experience in both rehearsal and performance would not have been what they were. Ferrell not only helped sculpt my speech, she prompted me to speak with a new kind of confidence and performance precision."
- Bryan Kett

"I had the incredible good fortune to be coached by Ferrell Marshall for a high-profile public speaking opportunity and was struck, from the first time I met her, by her generosity, razor-sharp insight, spot-on instincts, exceptional intellect and warmth. She not only helped sculpt my speech without taking any of my own voice out of it, she prompted me to speak with a new kind of confidence and performative precision. Ferrell is the rare person who delivers constructive criticism that feels just that—constructive. My gratitude for what she taught me is boundless. I cannot recommend her more highly."
