Biography

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 minds, hearts and spirits of organizations and individuals.

She draws upon practical business know-how, life's experiences and years of consulting to major national and international organizations that have ranged from global pharmaceuticals to the US Armed Forces, from health care associations to religious institutions. Executive Excellence magazine selected her as one of the top 100 thought leaders in leadership and among the top ten consultant providers of leadership development.

She authored Work for a Living & Still Be Free to Live, the first book on work/life balance -- a topic that placed her as a futurist in this issue and continues to be published in revised editions. 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 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.

Clients have ranged from American Airlines to Xerox, from 3M to IBM, from drill foremen in the Arctic to juvenile offenders in prison. She served as one of ten faculty members in a business television series, Reclaiming Business Excellence and has headlined with speakers like NBA Coach Pat Riley, Notre Dame’s former coach Lou Holtz, Dr. Ken Blanchard, executive strategist Marshall Goldsmith, William Bridges, and boardroom poet, David Whyte.

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 3500-member National Speakers Association. She’s on the Board of Directors of NSA and also on the national board for Take Back Your Time, an international initiative for work/life integration practices.

Publications

The events of 9-11 proved that our spirits are larger than we ever imagined. We can do amazing things- collectively and individually. This small book gleans wisdom from the ordinary and extraordinary, offering simple reminders of powerful actions that produce resilient results. As one client told me, "this is a book I keep on my desk and open everyday. There's always the right lesson staring at me." After all, we can use a boost every now and then!

Our spirits need encouragement. We believe in the power of the human spirit to overcome great odds, to make bold moves, to change the course of history. We know the energy and skill of the talented men and women in all of our communities. And we know that our spirits need encouragement to stay the course in a world of challenge and complexity.

Each of us has great strength to overcome odds. We just need to be reminded at times. Consider this little book your "booster shot". Let it spike the antibodies so that you'll not only survive but thrive in your work, your life, and our world.

After all, we ARE in it together.
