TESTIMONIALS: “Her presentation was insightful, engaging and most importantly made a lasting difference for our global leadership team. Within the short amount of time we had for her on the agenda she was able to give our team tools to use when dealing with organizational change. The leadership team is already adopting some of her language and tool that help identify ways of thinking that either support or impede change adoption. Feedback from the program was overwhelming positive and in fact the highest rating general session of our two and a half day meeting. It is rare that a speaker makes such a lasting impression but Eileen has done just that. We plan to use her again with our larger IT organization to reinforce the messages and methodologies she shared with the leadership team.” ~Cisco Systems Worldwide IT Management Offsite Your “Resilient Spirit” topic was hard-hitting and very timely for our members. We received many positive comments on your presentation, far more than I have ever received for a keynote speaker at any of our meetings. Your participation in other events outside of the keynote activities was also very positive with our members.It was a great year for TPA. Your presence at our annual meeting was certainly part of that. Great job! Hope our paths cross again in the future." - Texas Pharmacy Association "We simply could not have chosen a better person to facilitate this topic at our management retreat. Your humorous, dynamic and thought- provoking session drew rave reviews from all our attendees. Our only regret was in letting you return to California. Wish you lived nearer so we could draw on your wisdom and energy on a regular basis." - Manpower "Well, what can I say? Our "Women and Health: A Time For You" event was absolutely spectacular! Judging from the buzz during the event and the written evaluations, I can safely say this was our most successful event ever (our eighth). The credit for starting the day off on the right note goes t you. You certainly did your homework and provided a perfect fit in presentation style, content, and audience appropriateness. The goal of the conference, which was to facilitate women to integrate new and health lifestyle behaviors into their daily lives, was enhanced by your strong and motivating message. - Mayo Clinic Office of Women's Health “Your compelling keynote had attendees thanking me for bringing you. And in the words of the chairperson, “ WOW! What a dynamo! She was just what we needed to get us going and set the tone for the day.” You were in the company of folks like Ken Blanchard, Bill Bridges and Marshall Goldsmith and you more than held your own.” - Professional Coaches and Mentors Federation Conference Committee
