Philosophy
Transform the life of work and the work of life through conversations that matter and connections that count.
This is my philosophy...
"To fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run." Kipling wrote it. I believe it. When I use an audience's time, I take the single most precious resource they have and one that is non-renewable. They must walk away feeling the time was more-than-well spent.
I try and live in the world of my client, speak their language, understand their anxieties and their hopes. Everything is contextual. With that as a key-underpinning, my programs all serve to leave people thinking about the possibilities and power they hold inside: power to lead, power to design a life of their choosing, the power to thrive through change, power to recognize the possibilities for a higher level of human interaction, and power to ultimately believe that their presence on this earth makes a difference.
I believe in the wisdom of my audience and that my job is to help them reconnect with that wisdom. By using humor, fun, meaningful interaction, up-to-the-minute ideas derived from current business, and by being a solid storyteller and actor of the human experiences we all share, people discover their own wisdom.
No program is ever quite the same because no audience is the same. The value is that everyone in the audience will walk away with not only having heard the words but knowing what to do with the words through my actions, my caring and follow-through. It's my commitment.
Besides, it's the only way I know how to do business.
"I want to thank you again for making Assistance League National Conference such a great success. What outstanding presentations! You left our attendees energized, excited and with a fresh perspective for looking at their life and volunteer work. The information you provided was practical, thought provoking, and immediately useful - just what we were hoping for!
The attendee’s evaluations rated both of your presentations as excellent and included overwhelmingly positive written comments. One knows that the speaker is a success when one reads comments such as “Eileen McDargh is a perfect fit for Assistance League. She inspires just the spirit we need to encourage in our members and in our leaders.” “What a spark pug!” “Eileen alone was worth the trip.” You successfully engaged the audience and inspired all.
I appreciate the time and effort you put forth toward personalizing the sessions to our organization and for your prompt response to all my queries. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I thank you for your professionalism and your ability to challenge our volunteers. We will certainly recommend your presentation to others and look forward to working with you again in the future. Again, many thanks."
