How I Work
My Audience is NEVER left empty-handed, and EVERYTHING changes!
Eileen takes the time to understand your audience, provides an atmosphere of fresh air, insights and often humor that becomes powerful with meaning.
Powerful Presentations REQUIRE Powerful Preparation
I don’t think you hire me to speak. You hire me to prepare. It’s the attention to detail and the research that makes the difference. Sure it takes time. But—you’re giving me yours.
ON-SITE preparation includes:
Schedule permitting, I’ll arrive in time to meet with you, attend earlier sessions, take photos, talk with participants, and get an up-to-the-minute feel that is impossible with just a phone conversation.
Weave your theme into my message and, as appropriate, tie in the comments of other presenters.
I’ve been known to be an anonymous registrar, to hand out programs, and to re-arrange furniture.
Time permitting; I’ll meet with anyone who wants to talk more about my presentation. (Sometimes, people just need the 1:1 attention. Some folks want to share their story. And some people want advice. I am YOURS until travel demands that I leave)
PRE-EVENT research includes, based upon your needs:
Conduct conference calls with key personnel, customers, and/or employees.
Read all materials you send me in order to understand your background, challenges, triumphs and concerns.
Work with production crews to insure a seamless transition, music cues (if appropriate) and optimum audio visual preparation.
Consult, as requested, in the program design and flow as well as in the verbiage used to market the event. Having worn the hat of meeting planner and also consulted to a wide variety of clients, I have a wealth of ideas and expertise that is yours for the asking.

From the moment we began planning our annual Women’s Leadership Conference, Eileen was engaged and enthusiastic about the opportunity to address our audience. She took the time to understand our goals and objectives and worked closely with us to tailor her keynote address to our specific needs.
When the day of the conference arrived, she did not disappoint! Eileen engaged with our planning committee, sponsors, attendees, and the event facility staff with enthusiasm, kindness, and humility. She was energized and engaging on stage and had the audience hanging on every word with contemplation, laughter, and at times, heartfelt tears. Eileen’s presentation was both informative and entertaining, with plenty of anecdotes that kept everyone engaged from beginning to end.
One thing that really stood out to me was Eileen’s ability to connect with the audience on a personal level. She shared personal experiences and was able to make everyone in the room feel like they were a part of the conversation. By the end of the presentation, it felt like we had all made a new friend.
Overall, I cannot recommend Eileen McDargh highly enough. She and her team were true professionals during the planning process and made her part of planning our conference a breeze, and delivered an outstanding presentation that left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. If you have the opportunity to work with Eileen, do not hesitate to take it – you will not be disappointed!
