Help us train new women speakers
Donation protected
We're on a mission to see more diverse speakers on stage. Help us train more women and gender nonbinary folks to craft their first talk and deliver it with confidence.
At Women Talk Design , we're elevating the best talks about design from women, training new speakers, connecting speakers in an online community to share advice, speaking engagement opportunities, etc. and empowering event organizers with tools, approaches, and information to create more inclusive events.
We've developed a 2-day training to guide new speakers in crafting a compelling talk and delivering with confidence. Attendees walk away from the workshop with a framework for crafting a great talk, a draft of a 5 min talk and resources on how to expand it depending on the length of the talk, a professional headshot, a video of a 5-minute speaking example, and resources for continued learning.

We offered these workshops in San Francisco and Boston to date and have received extremely positive feedback:
“The training is very helpful to a talk noob, who has little experience in conference talk before, and I got a lot of practical tools to start my first talk!”
“Women Talk Design offers an amazing opportunity to help you look at your own stories through a different lens and pull out the pieces that make a great talk. Highly recommend!”
Each donation helps fund the operational costs of future workshops, as well as scholarships for individuals who cannot afford the tuition.
Support us in getting more diverse speakers on stage, by helping us train new women and nonbinary speakers to craft their first talk and deliver with confidence.
We’ll share updates with those who donate and subscribe.
