I live and work on Budjalung Country, near the Cavanbah, meeting place. An area also known as Byron Bay and surrounding hills. I recognise and honour that country, language, culture, land and waters, and the living and ancestral connection that exists for all indigenous people to these are matters of current and vital importance to all First Nation Australians. I pay my deep respect to elders past, present and those emerging.

The time for feminine-centred public speaking and leadership training that understands the genius of the feminine mind, and how it works, has come.
Women around the world are wanting support in speaking up and leading as who they truly are, rather than feeling like they have to suppress a part of themselves in order to fit into a masculine model of leadership.  Our world has never been more ready, or in such deep need, of full throttle expression of feminine intelligence. We are here and ready to meet that need.
what some of our participants are saying
"I am so dedicated to my WomanSpeak practice and love how Elegantly Annalee Atia and Tamar Newman Ben-Hur facilitate and teach the class. They hold the space and so skilfully teach us and guide us in a way that is uplifting, enjoyable and so respectful. If you can come to an introductory session I would so recommend it... I was hooked straight away and now a year in, I never miss a class. Many thanks!" - Sarah, 2019 
"My 13 year old daughter and I have both been blessed with opportunities to be coached and supported by Annalee. Annalee encourages authentic expression and creativity whilst assisting women to maintain the form and structure necessary to bring their vision to fruition. My daughter is excited and uplifted after her sessions with Annalee, and her project is truly taking form. I am deeply grateful for the experience of working with Annalee" - Kat Barwick, Author and Teacher
"I’ve had a growing desire to develop my ability to speak in a group situation for YEARS! The moment I saw WomanSpeak I dived in. I have loved every month’s thought and feeling provoking topic it and I love my very interesting group of fabulous local women whom I have the privilege of listening to each month. A real treasure. And ...I’m learning to speak! I wholeheartedly recommend diving in wholeheartedly!"  - Ange, 2019
"I am so grateful to KC and Annalee and Tamar for bringing this work to my home town in Australia. For four years I have been quietly building my business of running Sister Circles and teaching women how to create their own Sister Circles in their communities. Last year I recognised that if I wanted to take my business to the next level I needed to overcome my fear of public speaking and cultivate tools and techniques for being able to express myself in an authentic and confident way to a bigger audience. The curriculum for WomenSpeak is a refreshing and empowering journey that has helped me articulate my message and find my voice on topics that I feel passionate about and that I want to share with the world. Over the past 6 months since I started the program, I have gained tremendous confidence due to the supportive environment as well as the coaching that KC and Annalee and Tamar provide us. I am very grateful for being introduced to this work and strongly believe that it is a game-changer for every woman on both a personal and professional level."   - Kate Reed, The Sister Circles, 2019
"Annalee and Tamar are such skilful and supportive circle leaders that our womanspeak group has become a safe and powerful place of transformation. I can’t recommend this group more highly. Especially for the feminine, empathic, highly sensitive and intuitive women out there who would like to practice speaking up, but doesn’t resonate with more masculine public speaking forums. Life-changing, profound and exciting"  ​- Lisa Fitzpatrick, Sacred Women's Business, 2019 ​
"Thank you deeply for the class last Monday, I left feeling taller and blown away by my experience...thank you both for your love, care and passion. I would definitely like to continue." - Participant, 2019
WomanSpeak’s unique curriculum  was created by our founder KC Baker and delivered in the Byron Shire (Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads) and Eastern Suburbs in Sydney by certified leader Annalee Atia. Annalee has trained with KC Baker in person and completed further training to deliver her work in the community. It is designed to support women in becoming clear, confident and influential in their speaking. It’s ground-breaking, effective, transformative and fun!
This is not your typical public speaking training program. Most public speaking training programs foster a more masculine model of leadership and professionalism training. While effective for some women, far too many feel they don’t fit the mold or have to become more like men or suppress parts of themselves in order to be taken seriously and be effective as leaders.
WomanSpeak training with certified leaders is delivered across three main programs:
​
16 Month Circular Ongoing Classes - in person and online
A dedicated curriculum presented in a circular, 16-month program. Each month a new standalone module is introduced and two in-person classes with a small group of members are provided to practice and learn over time. Truly a nourishing and healing space. 
6-Week Intensive Program - in person and online
The 6-week program offered in level 1 and level 2 provide women with a condensed version of the full 16-month training. These are powerful boosters for women who are speaking up at work, conferences, online and in their communities. 
Full Day Intensives - in person only
An immersive WomanSpeak experience to get you up to speed with the most potent practices of WomanSpeak. Great if you are not local, have a big event coming up or time poor. Incredible results!
