About this Event
Back by popular demand! A public speaking workshop for female founders ready to lead with presence, confidence, and power.
Think: Toastmasters for Female Founders 🥂
You can have the smartest message in the room and still get overlooked.
As female founders and leaders, we spend so much time crafting the perfect pitch, perfecting the deck, refining the message, writing the most engaging content. And then we walk into the room (or onto the Zoom) and our nerves take over, our voice gets quiet, our presence dims.
The truth? Your message is only as powerful as your delivery.
OWN THE STAGE is a transformational workshop for the woman who knows she has something to say, and is ready to actually be heard when she says it. After the success of our first sold-out session, we're back by popular demand with an even bigger experience.
This isn't a lecture on speaking tips. It's a hands-on, practice-based workshop that gives you the mindset shifts, the embodied tools, and the real-time reps to walk into ANY room, boardroom, stage, Zoom, sales call, founder meetup, with grounded confidence and full presence.
You'll leave knowing how to own the stage wherever you are. Whether the stage is in front of 500 people, across the table from an investor, on a podcast mic, or in your next sales call, you'll have the tools to show up as the woman behind the message.
What you'll walk away with:
✨ The fundamental mindset shift that eases nerves when the spotlight is on you
✨ Simple, embodied techniques to elevate your presence when speaking or presenting
✨ The key distinction between presence and performance, and how to lead from the right one
✨ Real-time practice in a supportive room of women cheering you on
✨ A clearer sense of what already makes you a strong leader (and how to lean into it)
✨ Tools you can use immediately - in your next intro, pitch, post, or stage moment
Who this is for:
🤍 Female founders, creators, and leaders ready to be seen — not just heard 🤍 Women who freeze, shrink, or speed up when the attention turns to them 🤍 Builders preparing to pitch, present, or take the stage in a bigger way 🤍 Anyone tired of the smartest woman in the room being the quietest 🤍 Founders ready to claim their voice and step into their next level of impact
