As a mission-driven organization, Innovation Women helps women and other underrepresented groups better understand what goes into:

    • Identifying your topic and building a signature talk
    • Finding and securing speaking opportunities
    • Building a speaking career or standalone business

    While other organizations charge tens of thousands of dollars for the “secret” path to speaking success, we can offer you many free and low-cost resources that will help you better understand the world of speaking, whether as a career and standalone business or to support your existing career or business.  Our Getting Started as a Speaker resource kit is great whether you are just getting started as a speaker or you’re looking to reinvigorate your speaking career.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DOWNLOAD NOW” align=”center” link=”url:%23sec_form|||” el_class=”btntheme”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”35838″ img_size=”364×450″ css_animation=”bounceIn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section content_placement=”middle” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1706619637240{padding-top: 90px !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}”][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”What is Innovation Women?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:40px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:50px” google_fonts=”font_family:Hind%3A300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1659367502027{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1705933231304{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Innovation Women is a self-service visibility bureau connecting event managers with public speakers.
