In-company trainings
"I am the only woman on an all-male, tech team. We are facing a major crisis within our software development team and call for a meeting to look for the solution.
The problem is connected to the field where I am an expert in & I see the solution and how we can fix this.
I decide to be brave: to speak up and share my idea during the meeting.
The response: none.
2 minutes later, my male colleague says the exact same thing.
The response?
"Yes, that's it, such a great insight, good job man!"
I can't believe what's happening. Did this really just happen?
Again, I decide to speak up, with the little bit of voice that's left inside of me, I say:
"That's exactly what I just said?"
The response? "Oh, Claire, don't be so sensitive.." "

Do you feel any recognition, reading this? Whenever we share this (real life experience) story in trainings, almost all women nod. This happens every day. To so many of us.
And so many of us think we are alone. Opening our trainings with stories like this, opens up the realization that we are not. That so many women struggle with the same biases, the same glass ceilings, the same sexism on the work floor. Every day.
Research shows, that even at the highest levels in organizations, women struggle to speak up. They ramble and sometimes get silent, even when they are the expert at the table.
So, YES. It is time to bring women together. Share experiences and feel that we are not alone.
In our in-company trainings, we create a space to connect the women in your company. We focus on skill-building, on becoming more confident speakers & at the same time, community starts to from. By creating a new shared experience together.
What to expect?
In our seminars, we always focus on one specific topic that is connected to public speaking. You can find an overview of suggestions for topics here. In either half a day, a full day or multiple days - we train public speaking skills and create a sense of community between the women in your company. We can have an introductory call, in which we state your question/need/wish, so that we know exactly which topics to work with & on which level to step in.
Set-up
All our seminars are interactive. This means you won't sit and watch us talk about public speaking theories. Everybody takes part actively, we practice skills -all together, in smaller groups and in the end 1 after 1, on the stage. Building confidence mostly comes through practice. This is why we encourage all women to practice the speaking skills in the safe setting of our seminars.
