Testimonials

"We recently engaged Rebecca as our keynote speaker for a national convening of 90+ people. She energized and engaged the group, and set the tone for the entire event with her personal, powerful, and thoughtful remarks. Many presenters referred back to her remarks and ideas, which became themes for the next two days. She was a pleasure to work with, and cared about tailoring her services to our needs."

Passionate, clear-sighted, brilliant and truly vested in the success of those who would make our world a better place. These are just a few of laudable attributes of Rebecca Chavez-Houck, whose incredible character and commitment to justice and fairness is unmatched. She is one of the hardest workers I know, is results-oriented, exceptionally strategic and steadfast in her desire to create lasting, positive change in our communities. As a very lucky recipient of Rebecca’s mentorship and guidance, I have realized opportunities for leadership that, without her encouragement and steadfast support, I would never have even seen in myself. Rebecca excels at seeing how the potential and passion of others can be supported and nurtured in order to reach lofty goals, both personal and for the greater good of our communities. She would never miss an opportunity to make sure that every person or organization who wishes to serve others is able to harness their own best talents, opportunities, and potential for excellence.
