Keynote Speaker
Eileen's blend of inspiration, humor and content make her one of the most sought after females in the country. She's HUGE on customization.
Customization begins from the first conversation. “Fit” is essential before any deeper research can be done. Then, if Eileen “fits” your meeting, you’ll understand when you see her pre-program survey which begins a second, deeper conversation:
Frankly, she’ll ask more questions that you ever thought possible. And why not - you and your group are like no other group on the planet!
