We believe that the key to positive transformation in our world is to support women in unleashing the brilliance of their voices.
We are on a mission to support women and girls in feeling free to own the value of their ideas and perspectives and to share them authentically and confidently.
We want to see their ideas and wisdom spread because we know that a world and civilization inclusive of the feminine perspective is a world that is sane, healthy, and thriving.
We Believe Unleashing the Brilliance of Women’s Voices Is the Key to Positive Change in Our World.
Join the Movement
We have WomanSpeak Circles across the United States and in 7 countries.
And we’re growing. Fast.
Our founder KC Baker has taught and spoken about this unique body of work at the United Nations, Women@Microsoft, TEDxWomen, and more.
Women around the world are wanting support in speaking up and leading as who they truly are, rather than feeling like they have to suppress a part of themselves in order to fit into a masculine model of leadership.
The time for feminine-centered public speaking and leadership training that understands the genius of the feminine mind, and how it works, has come.
Our world has never been more ready, or in such deep need, of full throttle expression of feminine intelligence.
We are here and ready to meet that need.
Why WomanSpeak Matters
For too long, public speaking training have fostered a masculine model of what leadership and professionalism looks and feels like. This can have a detrimental effect on the self-esteem of women and girls who desire to speak up and lead.
This sparks feelings of self-doubt, a lack of valuing the wisdom within, and a resistance to speaking up. It erodes a woman’s sense of inner freedom to lead and share her mind publicly.
We specifically provide an alternative for women to harness the power of their feminine energy, rather than hide or deny it, as they speak up to lead and effect change.
How Is WomanSpeak Different?
Training
Our curriculum supports women in clarifying and owning the value of their ideas. We teach women how to prepare and deliver talks, presentations and communications that move, impact and influence their listeners.
Support
We support women in feeling confident and free to speak up & be themselves in a variety of settings: public talks on stages, panel discussions, group/team meetings, fundraising conversations and more.
Challenges
We help women to transform fear, doubt and resistance to sharing their voices into natural confidence and charisma. We deal with the unique challenges that come up for women around sharing their voices in the presence of men.
Celebration
We provide a very supportive, celebratory and fun environment!
Why Is WomanSpeak So Effective?
Our unique practices help women to re-wire their nervous systems so that speaking up becomes an experience of safety, power, joy and freedom.
WomanSpeak Circles are led with true celebration and support.
The women celebrate and support each other in speaking up and exercising leadership & power in their careers.
WomanSpeak addresses the unique fears and doubts women have about sharing their voices.
Women feel safe to fully be themselves, to be seen and heard, and to share their ideas.
Women and their voices blossom in this kind of environment and culture.
How Does WomanSpeak Work?
Consistent Practice Matters
WomanSpeak Circles are online or locally in-person and can be in the form of long-term 16-month programs, 6-week courses, or intensive full-day experiences. The content supports the growth and empowerment of voices.
Circles are designed to offer safe places for consistent practice, which is the key to becoming a powerful speaker (whether in public or in personal conversations) and for developing an authentic voice of leadership.
Imagine a transformational Toastmasters designed specifically for women that has a rockin’ fun & supportive community and a lot of emphasis on speaking authentically, effectively, and from the heart.

Incredible Leaders
In leading our Circle for the last many of months, I have been blown away with the results the women in my Circle are experiencing during the evening and… the ripple effects of the techniques through the rest of their personal and professional lives is profound. I just want every woman I know to experience what we are experiencing.

What Women Think
Because I’m pioneering a new concept in a very set industry, it can be frustrating trying to explain my philosophy and methods to those whose minds are set. In WomanSpeak there is a grace where I feel comfortable expanding and playing with different ideas and words. Speaking out loud to others enables me to fine-tune not only presentations but my day-to-day talk track.
These circles are great for getting me in my body and connected to my message. That’s good! Because that’s where my truth is and the story begins. I have found when I stand before my circle members feeling free to speak and flow it anchors to my memory and is ready for recall. It’s a whole-person experience. And it’s upping my game and giving me the confidence to be more brave and bold.
In the WomanSpeak Circle, I have discovered not only am I a new segment in an old standard, but I am starting a much bigger movement.
Joining Women’s Speak is the best decision I have made for my business. Since I have joined, I have accepted speaking engagements at the Lincoln Memorial, started doing webinars, and turned around my 10% conversion rate for workshops to 100% in five months.
Although I had been live streaming for almost a year when I joined, I wanted to propel my speaking to the next level and knew that I needed training. At the meetings, I have learned to use my nerves as a life force in my speaking, to connect with my audience and to engage them from an abundant heart.
Whether you are a female entrepreneur or just looking to increase your confidence, Women’s Speak is an integral part of evolving as a woman.
I’ve always struggled with opening up in a group. Being vulnerable and the center of attention is a big issue with me. Being in around the kind lovely ladies in WomanSpeak San Diego has allowed me to have my voice back. I have opened up more and it feels really good. I’ve realized that I do have something to say and most importantly, people want to hear me. Angela our leader, is so positive and gently nudges us on, which is something I need. My biggest accomplishment so far is feeling more confident and vocal not just at WomanSpeak but at other groups and everyday life. It’s so liberating. Thank you Angela and WomanSpeak.
When I joined WomanSpeak, I struggled connecting with other women – that was definitely one of the hardest things that I dealt with personally – but after joining WomanSpeak I had the great opportunity to connect with not only kind and humble women, but high achieving women who valued their success while also valuing other women. For the first time, I felt like I truly connected with people! For the first time in a long time, I felt like I belonged.
I have been an educator, trainer and speaker for many years, involved in so many platforms to better my technique, be more magnetic, speak to inspire, get the right formula, etc, etc. And frankly, it has been great but exhausting. It wasn’t until I came to Woman Speak that I felt for the first time in my life that I could sit with all those valuable tools, give myself permission to keep only what works for me, let go of what doesn’t and stay so true to myself. Authentic and even vulnerable when it comes up. What a relief!! I feel seen for my brilliance, not for the script that I have perfectly crafted. Im still working on it, but I do feel the incredible shift on stage, with my clients even in my conversations with my teenage daughter. I am amazed at how the meetings flow from one incredible story to another, bringing so much growth in so many levels, plus the beauty of the sisterhood that connects us all, during the meeting as well as outside of them. I am forever grateful to be a part of WomanSpeak, looking forward to more!
WomanSpeak allowed me the space and support to own my wisdom, trust my voice, and embrace my essence. I gained the clarity and confidence I needed to share my unique message in whatever venue Life offers, from the dinner party to the storytelling stage. An incredibly divine experience!
As a manager in the high tech industry in Silicon Valley, I often find myself working amongst men in technology who treat less technical roles with lack of respect (a challenge for the only 19% of women who are in technology compared to the 81% of men), and therefore find myself holding my voice back. I enrolled in KC Baker’s work because I know my value and uniqueness in what I bring to the industry, but struggled with my communication in sharing my voice. Coming back to the work this week has been effortless for me to share my ideas and voice, and I am surprised by how quickly I was able to implement KC’s teachings! Thank you KC, I am eternally grateful.
I joined WomanSpeak Circles because I knew that my utter terror of public speaking (and that’s not an exaggeration) would hold me back in the future, and had caused me significant anxiety in the past. I had absolutely no idea that the Circle would help me in so many other ways. In just three meetings, I am amazed at the change in myself, that I also see reflected in our other members. I am in awe of the wisdom of these women; both Chantal and my fellow Circle members. I have learned so much about the way women can work together, support each other and heal each other. I have laughed, cried and been utterly moved by the stories and wisdom that is shared each Circle. Although I am still very nervous, I am so excited when I get to attend a Circle, and I am so looking forward to learning more and more. I am stunned by how far I have come in such a short time and therefore can now look forward at the next topics that we are working on. I absolutely love our Circle and I am so grateful for the support and encouragement I receive every meeting, and get to give in return. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
