Would you like to hire Phyllis Shabad to speak at your meeting? Conference? Convention?
Phyllis will engage your group as she delivers content that resonates with the audience. Never satisfied to lecture, she energizes workshops, seminars and yes, even keynote speeches, by directly involving participants as they think, practice and respond to her thought leadership on executive careers, personal branding and the boardroom.
A highlight for me of the NRWA Convention was a well-developed seminar centered on Career Portfolios presented by Phyllis Shabad.

Wow - I left that seminar reeling from its potential as a significant service product! And upon arriving home could not stop myself from introducing the concept to my clients. Great job, Phyllis! And an additional thank-you for providing us with outstanding handouts and a terrific group exercise to begin practicing our new portfolio concept. This seminar certainly delivered.

Phyllis' talk was filled with concrete suggestions and all the details necessary to implement them ... [it] may have been the best investment of time that I made at the convention.
