The Podium Project was born because of a truth we can’t ignore: even today, most stages are dominated by men. But every time a woman’s voice is missing, we lose something — a perspective, a story, a lived experience. We (Maggie, Kristine, and Sheana) believe the reason so many women aren’t on stage isn’t because they lack ideas or passion; it’s because they often lack the tools to be seen as speakers: polished reels, compelling bios, branding photos, feedback, and a community that supports visibility.

The Podium Project exists to shift that. We help women gain those assets. We give them space to practice, feedback to grow, and confidence to step forward. We will track what happens: how many stages they step onto, how many speaking deals they land, how many voices are amplified. Because when women speak, when we all hear more of the stories, the insights, the leadership, everyone benefits.

Our vision is bold: a future where when you walk into any conference lineup, you don’t even think about “where are the women?” because you see them in leadership, as keynote speakers, at panels, across fields. 

The Podium Project is here so that every woman who wants to speak has the assets, the confidence, and the support to do so.
