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 keynote for the Forté Foundation’s conference made me really think about the importance of having a personal brand. Her words, guidance and personal stories were so inspiring for creating and getting my brand out to the right people. — Director, American Chamber of Commerce
