HOSTED BY Speaker Express

The Female Speakers Conference: Dedicated to Filling the Stage with Female Voices

Run in collaboration with Speaker Express and World Class Female Speakers, The Female Speakers Conference is dedicated to helping shape the dialogue around the critical factors currently at play that keep women speakers from being found and recognized on stage.

Join us for an empowering day focused on the Business of Speaking and walk away with a better understanding of how to get on larger stages and be handsomely paid for it!

Gain valuable industry insights to help you better understand the type of speaker you are and where you can reap the best financial rewards.

Investigate what makes a great speaker profile, and explore some of the most common mistakes women make around marketing, branding, and sales which often stop us from being found and landing those high-level gigs.

Learn why bookers and agents struggle to find female speakers and discover how you can become top of mind.

Better understand how to find and secure speaking gigs so that you can increase your influence, upscale your business, and use your voice for good!

Plus, meet the women setting new standards and inspiring us from stage in innovative ways as we recognise these trailblazers across a diverse array of categories in the second annual Professional Speaker Awards.

HOSTED BY The School of Life

One of the most extraordinary and yet quietly routine assumptions of our age is that we should be able to find work that we can not only tolerate for the money, but profoundly appreciate - work with a high degree of purpose, camaraderie and creativity. We see nothing strange in the remarkable notion that we should try to find a job we love.

This one-day workshop insists that, in order to stand any chance of honouring our desire for meaningful employment, we will need to lavish concentrated brain power, time and imagination on its underlying complexities.

What to expect?

We examine how our expectations about a ‘good job’ were formed. We probe whether these are grounded in reality, and consider a helpful alternate notion of ‘good enough’ work to guide our ambitions. We finish up by considering some of the downsides of all jobs, even those we consider the most fulfilling.

Our culture has set us a devilish problem: promising us that fulfilling jobs exist while, at the same time, leaving us woefully unprepared for how to discover our own aptitudes and appetites. The purpose of this day is to help to correct an epochal problem which quietly gnaws at our lives and tramples upon our legitimate hopes. We come away better able to understand our talents and to move forward using the opportunities that are open to us.

This one day workshop brings together the best of The School of Life’s Work curriculum into a single high intensity session. You can explore our full curriculum here.

(Please be aware, Finding a Fulfilling Job contains material from the following individual classes: How to Identify Your Career Potential, How to Fail, and How to Be Confident).
