HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW — Susan was maxed out. At home, she juggled errands, laundry, meals, and cleaning.

What People Are Saying About Rebecca Shambaugh

Marriott’s Women’s CEO Executive Forum was a tremendous success, and that is due in large part to Rebecca Shambaugh. When organizing an event for CEOs and executive directors of major associations, ensuring high ROI is critical. The content Rebecca delivered coupled with her knowledge, experience and expertise was a home run. We could not have executed this without her. — Sales Executive, Marriott International

Rebecca Shambaugh spoke at the first meeting of the Leadership Council on Advancing Women at The Conference Board, her emphasis on inclusion, the leadership pipeline, uncovering latent biases, and the lack of women’s visibility and presence in upper levels of business made a real impact in the practical work of the senior executive women on the council. Rebecca provided the practical lessons learned from her 25 years of working with women leaders and generated a rich discussion. — Program Manager, The Conference Board

I have had the pleasure of working with Becky for nearly 10 years, at two different top institutions of higher education. Her message of empowerment and enlightenment resonates coast to coast, with corporate and public sector audiences alike. Most recently, I partnered with SHAMBAUGH Leadership to keynote our UC Berkeley Woman’s Initiative. It was a spectacular day, in no small part because of the learning she shared. — CLO and Director of L&D, UC Berkeley
