A workshop on women and public speaking
Women report fearing public speaking more than men do--and they may have more reason than just nervousness. Women are more frequently talked over in meetings, or their points are ignored, then claimed by male participants. Women working in the public sphere often find journalists focus on their appearance, rather than their message.
This workshop is designed to help women executives and politicians improve their public speaking. You will acquire strategies for succeeding as a speaker, whether you do most of your public speaking in meetings and on conference calls, or in the public arena.
Participants will learn:
Registration includes continental breakfast, lunch and break refreshments, and all participants will receive an email with additional reading, books and other resources that you can refer to again and again. All registration for the Washington, DC, workshop closes February 21, 2014 at 12 midnight Eastern Time.
