Eileen McDargh's certifications

Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)—the highest international accreditation for professional speakers

Council of Peers Award of Excellence (CPAE)—Selection into the National Speaker Association's Council of Peers Award of Excellence Hall of Fame. Fewer than 3% of speakers internationally hold this designation.

Since beginning her consulting and training practice in 1980, Eileen has become noted for her ability to speak the truth with clarity, wisdom, humor and compassion. Long-standing clients and repeat engagements attest to her commitment to make a difference in the minds, hearts and spirits of organizations and individuals. Eileen McDargh provides help and hope not hype.

Her ability to connect with mind, heart and spirit, makes her one of the most sought-after presenters in North America.

She is fun, funny, relevant and provocative, drawing upon practical business know-how, life's experiences and years of consulting to major national and international organizations. Her stimulating, interactive presentations promote self- discovery and creative solutions to everyday situations—in the workplace and at home. Additionally, each program is designed around the client's specific theme and needs.

Eileen authored the first book on work/life balance, Work for a Living & Still Be Free to Live, a topic that placed her as a futurist in this issue. Her newest book, The Resilient Spirit, is found from South Africa to California. She's been a guest on CNN as well as other television and radio programs and has created an exciting Chicago based radio commentary, Celebrating The Human Spirit. She is also a featured author in A Women's Way To Incredible Success: Real Life Lessons from 20 Prominent Business Women and a contributing author in Meditations For The Road Warrior. Her three-part video training program, Engaging The Spirit Of Nurse Leadership is in constant demand within the healthcare arena.

Her commitment to the topics of resiliency, change life/work integration (balance) have led to her recent appointment on the Board of Directors (in an advisory capacity) for the Take Back Your Time Day non-profit organization.

Eileen is a certified speaking professional (CSP) and her election into the CPAE Speaker Hall Of Fame places her among the top 3% of the 3,500 member National Speakers Association.

As one of North America's most in-demand presenters, she has been admitted into the prestigious Speakers Hall of Fame—the "Oscar" of Professional Speaking. The powerful messages found in her high content, humorous and inspirational programs spark new life into people, performance, and profits.
