Women’s Conferences

30th Annual Simmons Women’s Leadership Conference
As you know, you certainly were a hit at the conference. Many are requesting your return. We generally don’t rehire within a year – but then your drawing power was never experienced by us. Keep up the good work. If you ever need a reference, you know whom to ask.

Simmons Leadership Conference

Oracle
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the amazing closing keynote that you delivered with Radical Resiliency. I have to say, it not only exceeded my expectations, you touched me with the story about your mother and the legacy of leadership that she left — you must be so proud of her!The feedback on your keynote that has been coming in has been amazing! Being the closer is always a tough position to be in because that’s what everyone remembers. I asked you to do several things for me in this keynote – pull all the key messages together from the week, help inspire our women leaders to “pay it forward”, end the conference on a high note and get a standing ovation — and you did all of them!!!

Your session was the highlight for many of our women leaders; thank you for helping us to create a memorable experience. Your session was fantastic, I can’t thank you enough for having the impact that you did on our conference.

Intel
You were an inspiration and a delight yesterday as the closing keynote speaker at the Intel WIN (Women @ Intel Network) conference. Your speech was packed with facts, motivation, self-empowerment strategies, and delivered with delightful down-to-earth charisma and humor. I am motivated to use my 4 P’s. (Power, Passion, Play, Purpose). You are “fun in the sandbox”, and I am glad you were a part of our sandbox for a day.
Association of Rehabilitation Nurses
Your dynamic, thought-provoking presentation really prompted us to reassess our thinking, and more importantly, our acting. Not only did you touch on our problems head-on, you also gave us down-to-earth, important ways to make our lives better, less stressful, and self-directed. The participant evaluations for your presentation were outstanding. Everyone loved you and rightly so; you gave us a sense of direction!
Proctor & Gamble
You’re AWESOME!! Thank you very much for your many contributions to our Northeast Women’s Network Meeting. We have received outstanding feedback from the attendees, many saying that it was the best network meeting they have attended in their career. Having been involved in diversity and training work for many years, I am always somewhat skeptical when we use outside consultants for our meetings. Quite often they struggle to connect with the P&G culture and issues in their message. You invested the time upfront to understand our organization, both our strengths and opportunity areas. You challenged us both personally and professionally to think about different ways to approach our business processes and challenges. We will be a better organization as a result of your perspective and inspiration. Your energy and charisma are contagious!!
Cobalt
What a great event for the First Cobalt Women’s Summit and I attribute it mostly to the energy, verve, professionalism and presence of Eileen McDargh. Thank you for connecting Cobalt with such a powerhouse.Our employees were captivated by her energy level, by the wisdom she conveyed and by the emotional attachment she created with the group. Additionally, her ideas to pull together the event and mediate the panel worked well and were quite effective with the audience.

Most of the women commented, all of whom who are at different organizational levels and in different roles, that they walked away from the conference with a learning that they could apply immediately in their work or home life. It doesn’t get better than that.

We loved working with Eileen and we look forward to continuing our relationship with her in the future. I recommend her highly as a motivational/inspirational speaker for any group.

Women’s Foodservice Forum (WFF)
What a difference it made to have you moderate the Women’s Foodservice Forum (WFF) Mentoring Panel discussion at the recent National Restaurant Show! The feedback we’ve received has been outstanding and your facilitation of the session was a major key to its success. Here are the reasons why: you took time to really understand the WFF and what we wanted to achieve in this panel discussion. You did your homework! You came up with a super idea of actually marketing the panel to our members AND not only wrote the marketing copy, but created an e-mail letter that sought areas of concern from all our members. You condensed the response and developed themes. You organized the responses and developed the themes. You organized our panelists in advance, giving them clear directions and questions. That’s not an easy task when we had such “heavy hitters” in the industry sitting on the panel. You made it fun for everyone and engaged the participants. You brought your own wisdom to the table and wove threads around what the different panelists said. You helped us look like heroes to our members. Besides all of the great work and assistance you provided, you were a complete pleasure to work with. Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious. I couldn’t have done it without your help.
Greater Dallas Chamber Women’s Business Conference
It was such a pleasure working with you on our Women’s Business Conference last Fall. Thank you for being such a professional, organized speaker. Your initiative made my responsibilities for conference planning that much easier! Your contribution as our work/life balance seminar speaker was so valuable to our attendees, especially as evidenced by the filled-to-capacity room. Thanks for sharing your stories, your expertise, and your wonderful self.
Institute for Career Advancement Needs (ICAN) Women’s Leadership Conference
You appearance at our 7th Annual Women’s Leadership Conference was a wonderful way to kick off the day. Your energy and enthusiasm was catching. Your personal message about life and living is a subject women respond to so positively. Your sincerity is communicated to the audience and we know from the evaluations that they were moved.
National Association of Women Business Owners
The Orange County NAWBO Board has asked me to extend a sincere and heartfelt thanks for your incredible contribution to our Awards Luncheon this year. I especially appreciate the time you generously spent with me to help you understand our unique audience and the overall message of celebration and collaboration NAWBO wanted to convey that day. I know your professional preparation and attention to detail made your message all the more insightful and thought- provoking.
Port St. Lucie Business Women
Your ability to be a dynamic speaker was evident from start to finish. The entrance with music and clapping set a positive mood for the event. The humorous and emotional illustrations you drew for us created a harmonic atmosphere. The consensus of our attendees at the close of your program can be summed up in three words: energized, optimistic, and challenged.

"Eileen’s 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."
