Dana Rubin runs the Speaking While Female Consultancy, helping women become recognised experts, brand ambassadors, and rainmakers, and helping companies attract, retain and promote gender-diverse leadership by showcasing the ideas and insights of their female talent.
She is also compiling one of the most important databases in public speaking - a list of thousands of speeches by women given over the course of many centuries.
In this episode, Dana and I discuss the challenges for female leaders and public speakers. She shares with me

• where she sees female leadership today
• the three speeches I should recommend to my daughter
• how Sojourner Truth dealt with hecklers (hint - she didn't ignore them!)
• what inspires powerful women like Kamala Harris to get into politics
• why speeches by women get less credit and how to change that

It's a really good episode!
