Her message of empowerment and enlightenment resonates coast to coast, with corporate and public sector audiences alike.

Rebecca’s keynote address was inspiring and extremely well received, it resonated with the attendees. I have received an overwhelming amount of response, positive I must say, regarding her keynote address. — Executive Vice President, MedImmune

It is always inspiring to hear from Rebecca Shambaugh, an influential, powerful women leader. I was particularly intrigued by the interactive exercises used within the presentation to promote self-awareness and personal branding. Rebecca’s engaging approach, personal stories, and exercises shared were incredibly helpful in identifying my own personal strengths in the workplace which can be leveraged within my company for obtaining additional responsibilities in my current role. I hope to attend other presentations of Rebecca in the future. — Forté Foundation
