PROJECT FRIEDMAN
AWSN and Women Speak Cyber, in Partnership with Emily Edgeley (a Public Speaking Coach) and Sponsored by Aura Information Security, are excited to launch Project Friedman.
This Project aims to increase the talent pool of amazing female speakers in the Cyber Security space. To address this, we're putting 5 well deserving women through a 3 month FREE Public Speaking Coaching Program, designed to specifically help people become Conference ready.
Whether you are looking to present for the first time, or would like to develop your skills, this program is perfect for you!
FURTHER INFORMATION
Project Friedman is all about giving women the confidence to stand up and present their expertise at conferences.
This program was named after Elizebeth Friedman, a brilliant cryptographer. Sadly no one knew about her or the incredible work she did as she never spoke up. We are dedicating this program to her to ensure that the work of talented women never goes unnoticed!
