Speaking with Women
Speaking with women is a global conversation on being visible and crafting your professional path when you are a woman.
The options we have, the brands we build, the permissions we give ourselves.
It is a show about showing up.
You will hear the voices of real women from all over the world discussing a variety of subjects. There are special editions such as the 2020 Virtual Coffee Tour or the Unmistakable series, but also solo episodes where we dive into some of the more common roadblocks you might encounter as a professional woman and what you can do to Find your Voice, Own your Story and Step into your Power.
