Change Girl Talk to Women Talk:
Many women feel unheard whether it's because they have been shut down too often or told: "It's not polite to..." From the way women introduce themselves to apologizing for speaking out or disagreeing, they diminish their power as leaders. Helen offers a list of best practices, tips and tools to take control, and become acknowledged and listened to. This talk will help every woman (and girl) in the room–whether they need to speak with a potential client or donor, take the lead at an event, or simply during a networking opportunity, every woman in the room will become a more impactful communicator and get taken seriously.
