With Women – Addressing the Underrepresentation of Women’s Voices in the Media

Half the world, only a quarter of the news

Women appear or are heard in just 26 per cent of all broadcast, radio and print news, according to the latest data from UN Women 

While many businesses now report on internal gender balance, far less scrutiny is applied to who is given authority and airtime in the media.

The With Women programme

We have decided to do something to address this imbalance. Which is why, as experts in helping businesses and their leaders communicate their story, we designed our With Women programme, offering high value FREE media training to women leaders. 

Since 2022, we have worked with senior women, both C-suite executives and ambitious founders from across sectors, training 1,000 women in the last year alone.

What does media training entail?

The session is run by our senior team who have prepped hundreds of global leaders for media interviews.  Over the course of two hours you will cover the four C’s of media training: confidence, clarity, control and connect. 

The session will break down the substance of media interviews to demystify them and look at how you style your language to engage as broad an audience as possible, and includes clips of good and bad interviews to learn from. 

From the preparation required, to managing more difficult questions, the training will leave you feeling more ready to lean into media interviews and has applicable skills for board, investor or shareholder meetings and both panel and keynote presentations.

How do I keep my skills alive after the session?

It doesn’t stop at training. We have set up a WhatsApp group for the women who have received our training and we help connect them with the journalists we know want a wider range of spokespeople in their articles. With former trainees already landing in the pages of the national media, including the BBC, The Times and Bloomberg, we couldn’t be happier.

Interested in partnering? 

We also partner with industry bodies, publishers and events such as WebSummit, CMO circle, Fintech Talents, Natwest, and the Young Women’s Trust, who want to equip more of their communities with the confidence and skills to engage with the media.
