Executives and event planners declare “We need more women on the main stage!” Quickly followed by the question: “Where can we find them?!” I find this conundrum puzzling.  

I am a female speaker, and I know many other amazing female speakers. There are hundreds of credible women speakers with impressive credentials and expertise -- yet it seems they are hiding in plain sight.

Incorporating female speakers into an event enlivens the agenda with new, relatable and expert voices. 

Yet the challenge remains: 

How do we bring forward these female speakers who are hiding in plain sight?
