Biography

Rachel Mae Eslick is a high-energy keynote speaker and founder of Mae We All: Growth & Development, where she helps people and teams reconnect with who they are so they can show up powerfully—in work and in life. Her message is simple but transformational: stop striving to be your “best” self, and start living as your favorite self—the version of you that’s authentic, aligned, and energized.

Raised on a dairy farm as one of seven kids, Rachel learned early the value of community, hard work, and bold dreams. After college, she found herself stuck in the “shoulds” of life—until a mindset shift (and a literal near-death experience at mile 25.7 of a marathon) woke her up. That moment sparked her mission to help others grow from the inside out.

Rachel went on to serve as Director of Growth, Development & Employee Engagement for a national organization, helping leaders build people-first cultures where growth is personal, not just professional. Today, she delivers engaging, interactive keynotes and workshops that leave audiences laughing, reflecting, and ready to take action.

Why audiences book Rachel:

  • Dynamic storytelling that makes you laugh, think, and take action.
  • Real tools and mindset shifts your audience can use immediately.
  • Interactive, high-energy sessions (no boring lectures here).
  • Expertise in leadership, resilience, and employee engagement from real-life experience.
  • Faith-driven and purpose-led, Rachel’s mission is to bless, not impress.

Whether she’s speaking to leaders, educators, young professionals, or entire teams, Rachel shows up to serve—and leaves audiences more energized, empowered, and equipped to live fully aligned lives, both at work and beyond.

Let’s make your next event one your audience won’t forget. Rachel’s ready—are you?

 

Testimonial: 

“Rachel Eslick was the perfect opening keynote for our Cedar Rapids conference! Her energy was contagious, immediately setting a positive and uplifting tone for the entire event. Rachel’s message about embracing your ‘favorite self’ rather than chasing perfection deeply resonated with our audience. She empowered and energized every person in the room to get out of their own way and step into their authentic potential. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a dynamic, engaging, and inspiring speaker who will leave your attendees motivated and ready to take action.”

Don’t Just Fill Your Cup—Design It

We always hear about “filling our cup,” but have you ever stopped to ask yourself: What does my cup actually look like? This keynote is a call to design a life that reflects who
you are and who you want to become. It’s not just about doing more—it’s about doing what truly matters, in a way that aligns with you.

Through this session, you’ll confront limiting beliefs, break free from the “lobster mentality” of comparison, and take your goals and visions off the dusty shelf where “someday” left them. Because here’s the truth: someday isn’t a day of the week. Your time is now.

We’ll focus on tuning into your unique strengths, living authentically, and making sure that what you do each day adds up to a life you’re proud of. The world needs YOU at
your fullest, boldest, and most vibrant self—and you’re worth the effort it takes to get there.

This is your dedicated time to reflect, realign, and start designing the life you deserve. Let’s make it happen—because your cup? It’s yours to design.
