“Women are often less assertive than men in the workplace and tend to apologize or minimize the importance of what they say when they do speak up—even female executives in meetings with their peers. But being on the defensive appears as a lack of confidence.” Speak Up and Don’t Apologize, Diversity Woman Media, Mar 27, 2023
I just came across this post by Stephen Ashcroft this morning – https://bit.ly/3OYviqi
Titled “Finding female speakers is proving difficult,” please have a read and:
🗣 Let me know if there is a reluctance on the part of women to speak at events and conferences, and if there is, why?
🗣 Are you interested in speaking at this event?
🗣 Given the strategic importance of your role at Frito-Lay, Katelyn Rheinlander, would you be willing to share your story with a broader audience of procurement and supply chain professionals (men and women)?
Tapping into some of my followers to see if there is an interest in speaking at this event.
“It’s a vital tool for effective communication and can significantly impact one’s career. For women, harnessing the power of public speaking can be particularly transformative, as it allows them to break through barriers and challenge stereotypes.” Empowering Women Through The Power of Public Speaking, Apr 18, 2023
I have had the privilege to be in the audience or moderate panels where some really amazing women shared their experiences and expertise on important, timely topics. These included Kate Vitasek, Joselina Peralta, Sanja Cancar-Todorovic, eMBA, MM., Cheryl Hayes, Kim Castellucci, Leana Maharaj, Canda Rozier, Sarah Scudder, Kelly Barner, Quave Burton, Sneha Kumari, MBA, Six Sigma, Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, Dawn Tiura, and Susan Walsh (to name only a few).
