Ginger Public Speaking Team Highlights The Dangers Of The Gender ‘Say’ Gap

The company is sharing their professional insight about the missing piece in the female talent pipeline debate, reports gingerpublicspeaking.com.

London, England – February 18, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

The team at Ginger Public Speaking is pleased to announce the publication of their latest in-depth though piece highlighting the dangers of and possible solutions to the workplace gender gap. As a company that supplies public speaking training courses in the UK as well as creating and conducting bespoke international courses for businesses all over the world, their experts are highlighting the reason why it is beneficial for business owners and leaders to invest more in public speaking training for their female leaders.

“Since Ginger’s inception, our company has always stood behind the idea of having more women in business. Unfortunately, the gender debate has only grown hotter as the gender gap continues to be a pressing issue in business,” said Sarah Lloyd-Hughes, Founder & CEO of Ginger Public Speaking. “As we interact with businesses across the globe, we observe two key themes emerging in the gender debate. First, those who champion diversity in male-dominated industries want to attract and retain female talent, but they don’t know how. In addition, gender-balanced industries are able to attract 50 percent women to junior-level positions, but the numbers fall to nearly half that when it comes to the C-suite level. While these are important concerns, there’s a missing piece of the puzzle in this debate – what Claire Mason of Man Bites Dog refers to as The Gender ‘Say’ Gap.”

Lloyd –Hughes continued, “The Gender Say Gap is the gap in visibility and voice between men and women in the workplace. Female team members report a reticence in sharing their opinion in meetings due to aggressive atmospheres, or not wanting to participate in self-promotion. Moreover, female leaders are more likely to be self-conscious about putting themselves out there as experts and frequently turn down opportunities to speak. Fortunately, there is something business leaders who value and desire diversity can do about this.”

The Ginger Public Speaking team has identified 4 stages of addressing the Gender Say Gap. These are: encouraging women to enter male-dominated industries by making sure there are visible, vocal female role models that they can see; helping women build confidence in their ability to lead at the early stages of their career; helping women learn to navigate the complexity of family-life balance, and encouraging women to develop vision for their lives & shoot for the top. Ginger Public Speaking Courses can assist with developing women into high-level leaders who inspire, build trust, and influence change.

Sarah went on to say, “There’s no doubt that the Gender Say Gap is affecting multiple parts of the female talent pipeline. The good news is that there are very practical things that can be done to increase women’s visibility and voice. In a day and age where media and conference organisers are desperate for more female voices, having visible female leaders may very well be the competitive advantage businesses and organisations need to expand their reach.”
