Dr. Mary Cianni – Leadership Consultant
“Who knew that writing a TED Talk and going through the application process could be so much fun? Elena’s insider knowledge and editorial skill dramatically improved both my talk and application. I couldn’t have done this without her.”
Dr. David Treadway, Psychologist
“Elena is an absolute treasure and a delight to work with. She gave laser focus to my vision and helped me capture the very core of the TEDx message I dreamed of sharing. Her gifts for intuition and empowerment are unique and unmatched.”
Elena Bensonoff – Founder of Wholistic
Lorraine Dallmeier, 7-figure entrepreneur and CEO of Formula Botanica, came to Red Dot Stage unsure of what her talk would be about. What unfolded was a deeply intuitive process that not only shaped her talk—but transformed her brand at its core.
“As soon as I decided I wanted to do my own TEDx talk, I knew there was only one person in the whole industry I wanted to hire—and that was Elena from Red Dot Stage. It wasn’t until I sat down with Elena and one of her scriptwriters that they started to pull those concepts out of me, bit by bit, stage by stage. We did it at my pace—there was no pressure. I now have a script that is so incredibly strong, I use components of it in podcast interviews, on other stages, in media articles, and across our content. That script has actually reshaped the brand of my company. That alone is priceless. Elena and her team made it so easy. She is the best by a mile. You don’t want anyone else—she is the real deal.”
