IWD, also known as Feminist Christmas, is the season to host a special event and book an International Women’s Day speaker who will make your event unforgettable. That speaker is Lucy Bloom.
Each year, Lucy shapes her keynote to the official United Nations theme, weaving in powerful stories that acknowledge the challenges women face, celebrates the progress made and then triggers a bold plan toward an even brighter future for all of us.
Men are welcome in this International Women’s Day speech which recognises that the world is richer when we work together.
Take-homes include but not limited to:
- Witness the gob-smacking power of unconscious gender bias and learn how to combat this in all of us
- Discover how one of the world's largest corporations achieved gender balance all the way up to executive level, within 12 months, and how that boosted their bottom line
- Learn from the unique challenges women face in countries like Ethiopia, Uganda and Cambodia, and how innovation is the gateway to freedom, personal agency and solidarity
- Consider the confidence that men are nurtured to develop from an early age and watch doors open for you when you do the same
- Understand the roots of lateral violence and learn practical strategies to counter it like a queen
- Build your personal arsenal of tactics to execute the kind of passive feminism that changes the world
- Best for International Women's Day speaker events of all kinds, in-house IWD gatherings, high schools, DV fundraisers.
A global perspective on women and leadership
Lucy Bloom has worked on the ground in countries where women face barriers that go far beyond glass ceilings. She has seen how access to education, health care and financial independence can change the entire trajectory of a woman’s life. These experiences give her International Women’s Day keynotes a unique depth. Audiences hear not just about corporate leadership and policy change, but also about women who have shifted the culture of entire communities with creativity and courage. It is this global perspective that leaves people thinking bigger than their own corner of the world.
An audience experience
Lucy’s keynotes have been described as rollercoasters. One moment she has the audience bent double with an outrageous story, and the next she has them leaning forward, caught up in a tale of resilience or reinvention. This emotional range is what makes her speeches stick. Lucy knows that if people feel the message, they will remember it long after the day is done. International Women’s Day should never be just another date in the calendar, and Lucy makes sure of that.
For every kind of IWD event
Not every International Women’s Day event looks the same. Some are intimate breakfasts with a handful of senior leaders, others are full-scale conferences with thousands in attendance. Lucy has done them all. She knows how to fill a ballroom with energy, how to hold the attention of a corporate crowd at 7am, and how to pitch her message so that every audience member, from graduates to executives, feels personally included.
More than a speaker
Lucy is often told that she doesn’t just speak at an event, she transforms it. She can set the tone for a full day of programming, or close an event with a finale that sends people out the door buzzing. Some organisers book her year after year because they know she guarantees impact. With Lucy Bloom as your International Women’s Day speaker, you are not just filling a slot in the agenda, you are creating the highlight of the entire celebration.
