Remarkable


Biz 417 wants to see more women share their stories and lessons with others through public speaking opportunities. Through a six-week training program, Biz 417 can help women choose and clarify a shareable message, develop it into a compelling and impactful talk and learn how to confidently share it with others. The ultimate goal is to raise the confidence and visibility of local women who could speak at local and regional events and within their own industry groups and conferences. Biz 417 is partnering with speaker coach, Lori Robertson, to provide a select group of local women high-impact training to identify, craft and deliver a compelling 15-minute signature talk. Whether you've never given a talk before or have done some public speaking and need help crafting an impactful message and training on best practices to delivering it with confidence, we want to help.
