Why speaking is so important, especially for women with guest, Bobbie Carlton

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2488708/fan_mail/new] This week, Pam is joined by Bobbie Carlton of Innovation Women. Learn all about why Bobbie considers Innovation Women including Speaker Friend Fridays is indeed her Dream Job. Key takeaways this week – Getting more women on stages presenting at conferences and programs. Matches have been made between women and conference stages in the 1000’s but the needle still isn’t moving from 1/3 women vs 2/3 men. If you are event organizer – please invite new people to speak each year. And, women need to do a better job bringing other women into the mix.  Sadly, ½ of event organizers don’t have a speaker budget for speaking or expenses. The episode includes some really good tips if you are trying to get on stage, or if you have secured a space and now have to advertise it in the conference information. You can turn into a great speaker, listen to Bobbie share how to start. And so much more… Is your company saying the same things over and over but the message isn't getting through to your staff or clients?
