What People Are Saying About Rebecca Shambaugh

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

Rebecca’s talk was excellent, very informative and engaging. This was the best talk I’ve attended at IBM. Not only was it informative but I will be utilizing Rebecca’s concepts in my career planning. — Vice President, IBM

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
