What's in it for me?

Yes, women have made economic and professional gains yet many girls and young women continue to estimate their value in terms of how they can help and please other people. Consequently, many women struggle with voicing their own experiences and opinions.
Women Speak and Lead gives women a safe and supportive place to practice:

What Woman are saying about Women Speak and Lead:
"Liz is an amazing facilitator. She gives direct, clear feedback in a compassionate way. I loved how practical the workshop was. While many of us in our careers have heard the basics on public speaking, practicing real tangible things like what our contributions are or how to ask tough questions was really helpful and refreshing. I felt I learned concrete tools on how to communicate my abilities from Liz."
