November 15, 2017 By Rebecca Shambaugh

Picture yourself in a meeting with one other person you have never met before. You were each selected from different offices and departments to co-chair a committee at your company.

When it comes to balancing the scales for gender equality, Corporate America has a long way to go.

An article in the Wall Street Journal this month hammers home the point that […]

Together as Allies—How Men and Women Can Create a Better and Smarter World

October 4, 2017 By Rebecca Shambaugh

This fall, I have been speaking at several major conferences and women’s leadership forums within organizations. While “women’s forums” have traditionally been designed as “women-only” events, I like to shake up this assumption a bit.

Balance Matters—Here’s One Way to Get There

August 9, 2017 By Rebecca Shambaugh

It seems like practically every article that comes out about women’s leadership is about where women are not.

What People Are Saying About Rebecca Shambaugh

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

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

The Women’s Investment Group of the CFA Society of Washington, DC, was thrilled to have Rebecca be our keynote and speak about the importance of “executive presence” in the workplace. We were inspired by her insights and ideas, and learned of tangible and practical ways to develop personal and professional presence. Rebeca’s best seller book, Make Room For Her is a must-read and hearing Rebecca speak is a must-do! — Founder, CFAW Women’s Investment Network
