I was particularly intrigued by the interactive exercises used within the presentation to promote self-awareness and personal branding.

I hope to attend other presentations of Rebecca in the future. — Forté Foundation

Marriott’s Women’s CEO Executive Forum was a tremendous success, and that is due in large part to Rebecca Shambaugh.

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

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.

It was a spectacular day, in no small part because of the learning she shared. — CLO and Director of L&D, UC Berkeley
