Speak Up: Public Speaking for Women
About This Program
Speak Up is a transformative 4-week in-person program that equips women with the confidence, skills, and presence to communicate powerfully in any setting — from boardrooms to public stages. Through progressive exercises, recorded practice sessions, and a final live showcase event, participants overcome the fear of public speaking and develop a signature speaking style. Small cohort sizes (max 20) ensure personalized attention and a safe environment to practice and grow.
