How to choose and book a women’s empowerment speaker
What women’s empowerment speakers bring to your event
A women’s empowerment keynote gives your audience proof that barriers can be broken, from someone who did it. The strongest speakers pair a personal story with practical lessons on leadership, confidence and advocacy that apply to every attendee, not only women.
Molly Fletcher, known as the Female Jerry Maguire, and Carey Lohrenz, the first female F-14 Tomcat pilot in the U.S. Navy, speak about leading in male-dominated fields. Susie Wolff and Claire Williams bring a motorsport view, as a trailblazing F1 driver and the former Williams F1 team principal. Dominique Dawes and Annika Sorenstam add Olympic and golf-course perspectives, while Barbara Corcoran and Julie Wainwright speak about building companies, and Mel Robbins and Cassie Kozyrkov about confidence and decision-making.
How to choose the right women’s empowerment speaker
Start with what you want attendees to do differently afterward, then narrow the list with four questions:
- Background. Athletes, executives, military leaders and founders each model resilience differently. Match the speaker’s field to your audience.
- Message. Confidence, leadership, breaking barriers, advocacy and career growth are different talks. Pick the speaker whose story proves the point you need.
- Audience and format. Employee resource groups, women’s leadership summits, sales kickoffs and associations call for different tones. Many speakers also offer fireside chats and Q&A.
- Budget and logistics. Compare the fee ranges and travel locations on each card, and check whether a virtual keynote fits your event.

Women’s empowerment speaker FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a women’s empowerment speaker?
Fees on this page range from about $4,000 to more than $250,000. The fee depends on the speaker’s demand, your date, the event location and whether the keynote is in person or virtual. Each card shows the current fee range where it is published.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as possible. In-demand speakers commit to dates months ahead, and booking early gives you more choice and more time for travel planning and a prep call.
Can these speakers present virtually?
Many can. Use the In Person or Virtual filter to see who offers virtual keynotes, and check the profile for the virtual fee, which is often lower than the in-person fee.
Will the speaker tailor the keynote to our audience?
Ask when you check availability. Many speakers hold a planning call to learn about your audience and goals and adjust their stories and examples to fit.
What is the difference between a women’s empowerment speaker and a female motivational speaker?
Women’s empowerment speakers focus on breaking barriers, leadership and advocacy, often from a specific field such as sport, business or the military. Female motivational speakers speak more broadly about resilience, mindset and performance for any audience.
