WomanSpeak 3-Day Foundation Course

An immersive, in-person WomanSpeak experience

The 3-day foundation course is an ideal and deeply immersive way to experience WomanSpeak in person. 

Take yourself away from the normal routine of life for 3 days to fully tune into this training.

It’s great for people who are interested in WomanSpeak but can’t commit to the 16-month Circle. Or maybe you just want to spend meaningful time with inspirational women.

What we do in WomanSpeak 3-Day Foundation Course

Our days will include:

  • movement and embodiment practices

  • small and large group activities and lessons

  • lots of times for you to get up and speak. 

During the 90-minute lunch breaks, you’ll have time to work on your messaging by yourself and in small groups.

Each day spans from 9am to 6pm and will cover these themes:

  • Day 1 – Creating safety in the body and Clarifying the situation

  • Day 2 – Owning the value of what you have to say and How to Write a Talk

  • Day 3 – Powerful storytelling and Participant speeches

  • 'WomanSpeak is more than speaking words. To deliver our message effectively in any space we need to believe, truly believe, in self. I honestly believe WomanSpeak does that.’

    Geraldine Moeder

  • ‘There are some events that create a before and an after in your life. On the weekend I attended a WomanSpeak 3-day foundation course that was one of those – empowering women to speak up and tell the stories deep inside: be ‘seen’ and be ‘heard’. This is not just a public speaking skills course!’

    Louise Brookes

  • ‘Chantal has an enormous amount of education and wisdom. She delivered the information with compassion and kindness and it was very easy to follow. The guidance, the education and explanation around what we were doing and practising…Everyone session gave me the ability to be calm, be present, be purposeful, be aware of my breath, body, magnificence, and be in the present moment. I also took all this into my daily life.’

    Fran Barwick

  • ‘Coming to your introductory event completely changed how I see speaking in front of others – I feel differently now.’

  • ‘The WomanSpeak program is life-changing, and Chantal is the most loving and nurturing leader, there to gently guide and challenge you to reach into the goods she knows you have.’

    Nat Mardon

  • ‘WomanSpeak with Chantal is life-changing. The thought of public speaking was terrifying for me, and I did everything to avoid it. It caters for everyone at whatever level they are at. It caters for everyone at whatever level they are at. Over the course duration…the feeling of terror being replaced with a sense of individual power and self-identity. You come away with the skills to freely be able to express yourself in all types of experiences.’

    Lenley Bursle Barrett

  • ‘It's like surfing and you catch this little wave and all of a sudden it turns into this big tsunami and you're just along for the ride. So that's basically what happened as a result of WomanSpeak.’
