Healthcare and BioMed

St. Joseph Health Care, London, Ontario Canada Your results were amazing. I even had one staff member call me after the workshop to thank me for bringing you to SJHC & that she has never been so positively energized and influenced by any workshop before! You made a difference every time you engaged with us. We will bring you back to SJHC to address any number of topics because you are so knowledgeable in so many different areas and because you know how to engage people in dialogue. And we keep bringing up your points in our corporate e-mails!Eileen, your presence with our staff created energy and instilled hope for a future of possibility at SJHC. You managed some tough questions from the crowd, listened to concerns without reinforcing victimized behavior and, respectfully reminded all of us about the power of choice and personal accountability for our own happiness. While the content of your messages was highly relevant, I heard so much from learners about your presence with them. You are a role model for “positivity” without being a Pollyanna. What a wonderful day spent with such a special spirit.

National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA)
It was clear, both from the feedback from our members and the standing ovation you received at the conclusion of your remarks, that your presentation was well received and that you made a real connection with our members. In my 25 years in the association business, I have never seen a keynote speaker take as much time and effort to research an audience – including attending sessions and talking to NCPA members on-site to get to know their personalities and interests. Even your advance preparation, in reviewing background material and speeches and in our conversation about NCPA’s issues and objectives, you went well beyond the level of commitment I’ve seen with most speakers.

ARV Assisted Living
“The Adventure of Caring Tools for the Journey” was a great way to end what many of our attendees said was the best conference in which they had ever participated. Here were some of their comments: “Best speaker of the convention. Very motivating.” “Incredible. Best speaker I have ever heard.” “What a great way to end the conference.” I especially appreciated your attending most of the two-day conference so you could specifically tailor your closing presentation to the assisted living industry and our company.
Annual Blue Ridge Institute for Southern Community Service Executives
This is to thank you for a wonderful session to close the 74th annual Blue Ridge Institute for Southern Community Service Executives. I knew it was going to be great, by all the advance enthusiasm others had shared after hearing you in other contexts. But you more than realized that anticipation! First of all, you have a gift for connecting with others, which comes from a place of genuine caring. It is reflected in your ability to get to know people quickly and remember who they are: not a common gift! In addition, your energy and enthusiasm make listening to you a delight! You truly believe in what you are sharing, and you make it real for your audience as well. It was a pleasure to be a recipient of your energy!But these would not be sufficient without the true heart of the message itself: you have an important message for us to hear. In this overcrowded, hectic and complex world, people are experiencing overload and imbalance in our lives. This makes us less than effective as leaders, at a time when energetic and committed leaders have never been in more demand. That is the true gift you gave us to take from the mountain: to get into balance, to take care of ourselves, and to be recharged and recommitted to tilt at our daily windmills in a world in need of our work.
Ingenix
Thank you for speaking at our Tuesday luncheon during the Ingenix Health Care Information Summit in San Diego! Your topic and your knowledge of our audience made you an immediate hit with our group. One of our senior vice presidents came up to me after your presentation and said, “Eileen really understands the diverse audience we have here. You can certainly tell that she did her homework.” Your talk on the “Mastery Model” is so appropriate for those in health care and technology jobs. You have given us a great foundation on which to build our success.
Blue Shield of California
We were especially impressed that you took the time to join us for most of our event, acquainting yourself with members of our team, and with your ability to incorporate our key leadership points into the message you delivered. Your address reinforced the important part each of our leaders plays in engaging and retaining our most valuable resource; our employees.
National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ)
On behalf of the NAHQ I want to thank you for your utterly fabulous keynote presentation at our 25th Anniversary Educational Conference in Dallas on September 19th. The feedback we received on the evaluations, as well as by word-of-mouth, about your session “Engaging the Spirit in the Workplace” was remarkable. We knew the audience (of about 1,000) loved you when immediately after your presentation, about 200 people lined up to purchase your book and have you autograph it. The session was lively, thought provoking, funny and inspiring. The way you personalized it for our group was clearly evident, and very much appreciated by the members. You really did your homework!
Novartis
In reflecting on our Senior Management I think of SUCCESS and a large part of that has to do with you. Your vivacious enthusiasm in working with our varied group of personalities will always be a fond memory in itself. You have an energy that fills the room and motivates every individual that crosses your path. Your success in business interactions past and present as well as being a highly motivating facilitator was well received by the DRA Team.
Proctor & Gamble Pharmaceuticals
On behalf of the Clinical Leadership Team, we would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU for your excellent leadership and facilitation of our 2006 Global Clinical Symposium.  Your energy and fresh ideas for the planning team, your themes around collaboration and connecting the human web, and your insight and expertise in facilitating a major global event have made this symposium an outstanding success and exceeded our expectations.   We expect that the many global connections that have been started as a result of this symposium will help drive innovation and creativity in clinical research.  You’ve been a pleasure to work with, and I hope our paths will cross again.

Hi Eileen,

I attended the Simmons Women’s Leadership conference this year. Your session was very dynamic and inspiring. I have used many of your words to help coach my team through a tumultuous time of change that is occurring in our business.

I’ve gone to your web site and borrowed inspirational messages to post in our zone newsletter, so thank you!

I’m sure that Debby told you that we are a team of critical care nurses who provide education in healthcare settings to end-users of our patient monitoring products. As nurses, we are inherently resistant to change. Your book is fantastic and will not only be a great gift to my team, but also a source of encouragement as we maneuver through these times.

Thank you so much.

Warmest Regards,

Dee McArthur, RN, MSN
