2. why womenspeak?
Public communication - whether by way of a media appearance, a company presentation or a
speech for an event - is an instrument of incalculable influence. Yet current research shows that
women still struggle both to gain access to it and to thrive within its sphere.
WOMENSPEAK Training was established to address this lack of parity by way of better
communications training. We have tailored traditional communication programs to meet the
specific needs of the female communicator in a variety of public communications and advocacy
settings.
3. why womenspeak?
"Judgments about confidence can be inferred only from the way
people present themselves, and much of that presentation is in
the form of talk... In U.S. businesses, where men's speaking style
dominates, women may be ignored, interrupted, and passed over
for promotions - even if they're highly competent.”
"The Power of Talk: Who Gets Heard and Why"
Deborah Tannen
Harvard Business Review
Figures from the Women's Media Center show that globally,
news stories including women tally less than 15% and are often
only about appearance and family status.
