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

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
