What more could you achieve if you had more confidence to speak up?
Women and girls often have trouble speaking up in the moment, expressing themselves in front of groups, and simply "putting themselves out there."
Speak Up! helps women and teenage girls cultivate confidence to address the "confidence gap."
What could you achieve at work, at school, or in your personal life if you had more courage to speak up?
Evidence shows that women are less self-assured than men—and that to succeed, confidence matters as much as competence.
What You Learn
Using exercises and tools from improvisational theater and leadership training, this program guarantees to help you:
- Identify your comfort zone (so you can expand it)
- "Make friends" with your inner critic
- Become more comfortable with vulnerability
- Express yourself to others (and in front of groups!)
- Promote yourself without feeling like a braggart (and take the applause!)
Are opportunities slipping by because you lack the courage to raise your hand, speak up, or take action when they arise? Do you cringe when asked to speak in front of others or promote yourself to a group? This new one-day workshop is designed for you!
I remember early in my career that sometimes I would have a thought in my head, but I lacked the confidence to be able to get that thought out. Then I would hear, usually a man, say the point that I had in my head, and I'd kick myself.
