How to Be a Leader Who Has Influence by Developing an Executive Voice

By

Women’s leadership requires not only a strong executive presence, but also an authoritative executive voice.

The HBR video hits on the key points of an HBR article that I wrote called “To Sound Like a Leader, […]

Women’s Leadership: Mastering Executive Presence in a Hybrid Environment

This is why SHAMBAUGH’s “Women in […]

As we enter a new year, we’ve reached an important inflection point that offers leaders fresh possibilities to meaningfully influence the future.

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

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
