Your voice deserves to be heard
You’re in the right place.
The Women on Stage Academy is the perfect safe space for you to grow your technical public speaking skills, amplify your voice, and bring your talent to light.
A unique and comprehensive training program, created to turn R&D professionals into star public speakers.
Get you all the tools you need to speak at tech conferences worldwide, become a thought leader, and accelerate your career.
This isn’t just another public speaking course.
Most public speaking courses focus on pitching, persuasion, and body language — but miss the bigger picture. Unfortunately, gender diversity on tech stages is still an issue, and it’s not because women lack the skills.
We've been there, and we understand: it's not about selling.
It's about having the confidence to share your knowledge without fear of being wrong, judged, or overlooked.
At the Women on Stage Academy, we do things differently.
Our instructors are tech experts themselves, who understand these challenges firsthand.
You won't just learn; you'll deliver your talk to a real audience, and gain ongoing visibility through our 360° ecosystem, including the Speaker Platform, community events, and global channels.
The results speak for themselves: almost every single participant gets on stage again within 2 months.
Are you going to get on that stage? It could be you.
“Just this week I got accepted to talk at Amazon’s annual data conference. I almost chickened out… But I remembered what I learned in the program, and it made me feel that much more confident that I can do this.”

R&D Manager
Women on Stage was an eye opening experience for me; Since graduating, I’ve achieved significant milestones. Recently, I was offered an opportunity to speak about AI at a live conference with over 200 participants. Additionally, I set up an internal community for women at work, empowering them to find their voices and take the stage. It's incredible to witness such meaningful consequences. As more women step onto stages, we can expect more conferences to be driven and led by women.
