Our purpose is to empower and educate girls about the importance of using their voices and realizing the impact they can have by becoming confident and effective leaders.

The Difference One Woman Can Make

The idea for I’m Speaking came when the founder, Rachael Frost, first started business school. To her surprise, she noticed that her classes were mostly full of men. When she went to school events and new venture competitions she saw the lack of women there too. In her teams and group projects, she was interrupted, and ignored, and she often felt like she wasn’t smart enough to contribute.

Rachael decided that she was sick of feeling uninvited to those important discussions so she created I’m Speaking; An organization dedicated to helping girls realize their full potential and building their confidence to become the future generation of leaders.
