What People Are Saying About Rebecca Shambaugh

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

It is always inspiring to hear from Rebecca Shambaugh, an influential, powerful women leader. I was particularly intrigued by the interactive exercises used within the presentation to promote self-awareness and personal branding. Rebecca’s engaging approach, personal stories, and exercises shared were incredibly helpful in identifying my own personal strengths in the workplace which can be leveraged within my company for obtaining additional responsibilities in my current role. I hope to attend other presentations of Rebecca in the future. — Forté Foundation

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
