Do you want to empower your female leaders to become thought leaders in your industry? Increase their influence? Elevate their visibility? Establish their expertise?
LEAP! is a fast-track speaking program for businesswomen who want to make an impact in their industry through public speaking. This is an opportunity to master the art of speaking – a key skill that sets leaders apart. Leaders who make the power choice to improve their speaking skills exponentially increase their ability to spread your message, garner support for your cause, and influence your clients, employees and stakeholders!
Why LEAP?
The Center for Creative Leadership cites three barriers to women advancing leadership roles: unequal opportunities, a lack of confidence, and glass cliffs – being offered opportunities in no-win situations. The cost? The proportion of women in leadership positions remains at 24 percent globally, denying capable women and their organizations the kind of supportive, effective leadership women bring to the table. Research indicates both male and female employees report feeling more committed and less burned out when they report to a woman leader.
Companies who actively encourage women to become leaders understand how essential it is to create opportunities for women to find their voice and develop the skill and confidence to share it – to become thought leaders. Within the company, and as external representatives, these women thought leaders command respect and garner positive visibility for themselves and their companies. They represent the leading edge and confer that status and integrity onto their companies.

“I discovered I truly do have something to share with the world! I loved finding and sharing my core message with confidence. And now I’m able to turn the nerves into excitement and focus on my audience. Putting my amygdala in check has been enormously helpful!”

“I’ve been in front of many audiences always to teach a skill. With Andrea, I learned how to deliver a signature speech and it felt amazing! I felt validated by the crowd’s response and now know I can do both. I learned how to tell a story to drive a concept home and inspire others. I can’t wait to incorporate this into my trainings!”
