3 Reasons Why There Are So Few Paid Women Speakers (TRSP 09)
Have you sat in the audience watching one male speaker after the next wondering where all the female speakers are?
A friend of mine went to a marketing conference last year and every single speaker was a male. How is that even possible? Aren’t there any women who speak on marketing?
Well statistically it’s not possible. There are many women who speak and speak well on marketing but weren’t represented on that stage.
On today’s show, we’ll cover three reasons why you aren’t seeing as many women on that stage:
- Why there is historical bias against women speakers
- How the male way of speaking dominates the professional stage
- How women are holding themselves back from going after paid speaking opportunities
