Testimonials

"We received many, many positive comments on your presentation at the Officer’s Luncheon. I truly loved what you had to say and how you said it, but it was truly a delight from a planner’s perspective to sit back and watch the reaction of the guests. You seem to have had them mesmerized. You are a wonderful person and a joy to have met. I hope we’ll get the chance to work together again some time or at least visit."

"Her 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."

"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!!"

"While we did as much homework on your background and style as we could, one never knows if the advertising is all hype or actual fact. If you choose to use any of my remarks for publicity, those readers need to know that you delivered more than what I expected. We will have bottom line results in employee retention & recruitment as an outcome of our work with you."

"Your results were amazing. I even had one staff member call me after the workshop to thank me for bringing you to SJHC & that she has never been so positively energized and influenced by any workshop before! You made a difference every time you engaged with us. We will bring you back to SJHC to address any number of topics because you are so knowledgeable in so many different areas and because you know how to engage people in dialogue. And we keep bringing up your points in our corporate e-mails! Eileen, your presence with our staff created energy and instilled hope for a future of possibility at SJHC. You managed some tough questions from the crowd, listened to concerns without reinforcing victimized behavior and, respectfully reminded all of us about the power of choice and personal accountability for our own happiness. While the content of your messages was highly relevant, I heard so much from learners about your presence with them. You are a role model for “positivity” without being a Pollyanna. What a wonderful day spent with such a special spirit."

"Thank you for speaking at our Tuesday luncheon during the Ingenix Health Care Information Summit in San Diego! Your topic and your knowledge of our audience made you an immediate hit with our group. One of our senior vice presidents came up to me after your presentation and said, “Eileen really understands the diverse audience we have here. You can certainly tell that she did her homework.” Your talk on the “Mastery Model” is so appropriate for those in health care and technology jobs. You have given us a great foundation on which to build our success."

"Eileen McDargh was our speaker for the morning with The Energy Connection: How to Get It, Keep It, and Stop Giving It Away. At the core of Eileen’s powerful message was the realization that all innovation, creativity, and productivity are the results of people who are highly energized by what they do, how they do it, and for whom they do it. She was inspirational as well as thought provoking … and did we say fun?"

"Eileen is a superstar in the Philippines! She was our keynote speaker twice at the ICF Philippines International Coaching Summit in 2015 and 2019 where we had more than 800 delegates, mostly from Asia Pacific. In both occasions, her rich content and her engaging style got her audience glued on her. Her talk was so moving she got them on their feet and gave her a standing ovation, a gesture not commonly practiced in our culture.

She left a big mark in our hearts and everybody just loves her. Owing to the success of these two events, I engaged her again, this time for the leadership and coaching conference that my company, Benchmark Consulting, a leading coaching, training and consulting company in the Philippines, organized on its 20th anniversary last August 2022. It was conducted online for more than"

"I have worked with Eileen McDargh for 2 years in the production and delivery of a prototype Webinar talk show for our US Customer Business Development organization. Eileen created the webinar to serve and bring external perspective to our diverse employee base.

I recommend Eileen McDargh for your consideration for these reasons:

She created and developed a Webinar talk show series, entitled “WP&G FM – A New Way to Find Meaning (FM)” for our organization that has reached over 1400 listeners each year. The webinar and talk-show format has realized significant cost efficiencies for the broad reach and engage employees at a personal and convenient level. We also captured the show digitally allowing listeners and those who could not participate to engage on their timing.

Through her vast range of contacts, Eileen has brought unique and relevant speakers to our organization and served as the talk show host for each session. Eileen is not only creative and full of positive energy, but she also works extremely hard to understand our culture with intentional preparation. She is definitely an upbeat, fun host who knows how to engage the speaker and captivate the audience.

Because of Eileen’s ownership, connections and expertise, we have discovered a new approach to stay connected across the U.S. with content and a format that meets individual and organizational objectives.

She is also a joy and pleasure with whom to work. She is easy to work with, extremely professional and very in touch.

​I believe any organization which decides to work with Eileen will be extremely pleased and well-served."

Well, what can I say? Our "Women and Health: A Time For You" event was absolutely spectacular! Judging from the buzz during the event and the written evaluations, I can safely say this was our most successful event ever (our eighth). The credit for starting the day off on the right note goes to you. You certainly did your homework and provided a perfect fit in presentation style, content, and audience appropriateness. The goal of the conference, which was to facilitate women to integrate new and healthy lifestyle behaviors into their daily lives was enhanced by your strong and motivating message."

"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."

"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.

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."

"Our board met on November 19th at the Renaissance Hotel Long Beach which under the direction of Maribel Denner the Director of Sales and Marketing (and I might add a brand new PCMA member) was kind enough to sponsor our board retreat. Eileen McDargh of McDargh Communications in Newport Beach the retreat, which exceeded my expectations. Everyone came away feeling a new commitment to his or her positions. I highly recommend Eileen as a keynote speaker or as a facilitator for boards."

"Looking back over the week, the highlight was certainly your presentation. The energy, thought provoking exercise and challenge of becoming “radically resilient” left us all with plenty of food for thought. It was a very timely topic in light of the changes we as a company and many of us personally are and will be experiencing.

I know we will all grow through our association with you and work to keep the “red ants” away."

"Thank you, once again, for the excellent presentation that you gave to the Michigan Department of Transportation Leaders at the Leadership Conference. The verbal comments we received were all very positive and enthusiastic and the conference has been rated as the best ever. Your energetic presentation first thing in the morning, was the perfect way to energize the conference and to get the participants thinking about how to become a better leader. You also did an excellent job weaving Director Rosine’s position comments into your custom designed presentation."

"As our keynote closer you provided the “big extra” that everyone took home. Your two seminars and your early arrival set the stage so that you were indeed part of the family and the attendees could feel that. Your ratings clearly reflected that your message was received and appreciated. We are thrilled with the results of training almost 1,300 attendees. Your three appearances reached almost half of these and they not only took you in as part of their family but gave you the highest rating of all the speakers.

I heard very positive feedback about your presentation, “Leading From The Inside Out.” Obviously, you had read the material I sent and knew a lot about or organizational issues. Your presentation was right on target and really helped us leave Monday with an upbeat feeling. I liked your energy."
