Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies 220: The Power of Stories Told by Women (Summit Speeches by Carol Cox & Diane Diaz)
In this episode, we’re sharing the opening remarks from our recent Brave. Bold. Beyond. Live Virtual Summit.
Listen in for not only the content but also the structure of our speeches. What elements do you notice?
Our emcee Amber Hawley kicked off the event and then our lead speaking coach Diane Diaz opened with her speech on how as women we’ve studied our absence and how that has affected our confidence.
I then picked up on this thread and talked about the importance of stories told by women, why as women we silence ourselves, and what we can do to change this.
Our event was inspiring, motivating, and empowering for the hundreds of women who attended.
Here's what attendees said:
"This is by far the best online event I have attended: intimate, engaging and special. The speakers were riveting, their stories compelling. Thank you to all the women who worked so hard to create this day of empathy and strength to make us all stronger. WOW!"
"This is my first summit and so amazing. I feel super motivated and understood."
"I love the diversity of age, background, speaking and life experience."
"Kudos to all of you for putting together this ambitious program, and to your speakers for sharing their vulnerable stories. This is helping me get real with myself in new ways."
A huge and heartfelt thank you to our team, speakers, panelists, summit speaking coaches, and volunteers who made this event happen!
