Do you want to speak on stage? Have you got a powerful story to share?
About Our Speakers
At HerStory we welcome any speaker who wants to talk from the heart, in full authenticity, about a story that has powerfully affected their life and will inform, inspire, and empower other women. Our speakers come from all walks of life, all different ages, different cultures, and different nationalities.
As a collective, this is very powerful. It provides a safe and nurturing space for women to share their stories of how they have overcome adversity and challenges to lift and inspire others. It is also an ‘incubator’ for women to share and hone their speaking skills, whilst gaining confidence and support, in order to take their talks to a wider audience such as the TEDx circuit.
What Makes Us Different?
HerStory isn’t a typical conference for women. It is truly a female empowerment event through the medium of stories. The event prides itself on bringing women together so that they can connect, at a very authentic level, through storytelling.
There are no sales pitches allowed on the stage, in fact, the stories that our speakers share are very personal ones. This allows the audience to really support and ‘hold space’ for each person on stage. Every HerStory presentation is 15 minutes in length, which keeps the talks to the point and very powerful.
At each HerStory Conference, there are 100 speakers invited to attend. Every speaker is also encouraged to spread the word and invite another 5 or 10 other women (either as nominated speakers or as attendees). Therefore the room is full of women who inspire, and women who wish to be inspired.
