Many femtech entrepreneurs want to enhance their presence as recognized public speakers who get paid to share their insights with audiences worldwide. The reality, however, is that only 32% of professional public speakers are women and only 25% of all technology keynote or stand-alone public speakers are women. Too often, women struggle to break into the public speaking arena or are offered speaking engagements solely to add diversity to an all-male panel. This devalues the expertise of incredible founders and entrepreneurs who have important insights, journeys, and lessons to share with interested audiences.
In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin speaks with Bobbie Carlton, founder of Innovation Women and Carlton PR & Marketing, about how women entrepreneurs can fight for their place on stage. Bethany and Bobbie discuss tips and tricks for women to get their names known in the public speaking world, why it’s important to start your public speaking journey early, and how to find your “secret sauce” and core message that sets you apart from other speakers. They also explore how speakers can set themselves up for success when taking that next step into paid public speaking, how to think about your own business model as a speaker, and why it’s essential to do the hard work before presentations to deliver real value. This episode is a must-listen for any female (especially those in femtech) who is looking to create a bigger presence on stage!
