We are changing the visibility of women in the media, this training will empower you to be impactful in the spotlight!

Introducing: One More Woman – Increasing Gender Diversity In Your Speaker Bench!(Online)

To support this next phase, we are launching a new, dedicated With Women session for in-house communications leaders and marketing directors. Importantly this session will be run for women and men who are allies for gender diversity in the marcomms space who will be an essential part of this shift.

Many comms professionals understand the importance of diverse representation. Yet they can often face internal barriers, from entrenched leadership habits to concerns around risk, readiness or reputation. Some may not feel they have the influence or authority to shift established spokesperson strategies. This new session is designed specifically for them.

With invitations opening on International Women’s Day 2026, we will host a Train the Trainers session ‘’One More Woman – increasing gender diversity in your speaker bench” on Tuesday 16th June for comms and marketing leaders. In it we will:

  • Build confidence in identifying and nurturing new, diverse spokespeople.
  • Provide practical frameworks to advocate internally for broader speaker benches.
  • Equip comms leaders with the tools to prepare senior women effectively.
  • Offer language and data to support the business case for change.
  • Create a community of comms allies committed to driving representation from within.

This session complements our existing With Women media training for senior spokespeople, giving organisations a joined-up approach: meaning we are able to empower both the women who step forward and the leaders who champion them internally.

Participants will also receive access to future With Women sessions for their senior women spokespeople, ensuring that commitment translates into capability.
