Helen Sharkey

Professional Speaker • Ethics and Accountability

A powerful message about the consequences
of keeping silent—and redemption.
Helen is an insightful speaker who not only helps individuals understand the importance of ethics in the workplace, but also advocates for employees to speak out. In this era of bullying, our college graduates need to know how ‘going with the flow’ and not speaking up can impact their lives and the lives of others. Fantastic speaker!
Annette Craven, Ph.D.
Wonderful to hear Helen’s story. This was one of the most inspiring stories I have heard at a CPE event.

It was a powerful experience listening to your story. Thanks for sharing and for all that it took for you to reach the point where you could stand before an audience and speak.
Professor Stephen ArbogastUniversity of Houston
Truly enjoyed this presentation, extremely interesting and moving. I have never been to any discussion, much less one at lunch, where no one spoke, stirred or left. Truly excellent.
Audience MemberHouston TSCPA CFO/Controller’s Conference
Compelling, amazing story, eye-opening and a little scary.

Audience MemberHouston TSCPA CFO/Controller’s Conference
Being in that room was like watching a match dropped on dry tinder … I was locked on each word of her story, as was virtually everyone in the room.
Dr. Michael ShaubTexas A&M University, Mays Business School
Outstanding speaker. Real-world experience and consequences. Brave lady.
