The TurkishWIN Speaker Club members have ideas, stories, and career tips to share. 

We want to pay it forward and leave a legacy not only through the work we do but the relationships we create and the women we impact along the way. 

The Speaker Club is a great way for us to connect with each other- inviting fellow TurkishWIN members to different team meetings or events. The TurkishWIN Speaker Club also enables us to connect to our alma mater universities. It is a win-win!

What are the benefits of joining the TurkishWIN Speaker Club?

When you join the TurkishWIN Speaker Club, you will have a dedicated page for your profile- think of it as a personal webpage. 

All requests from universities, NGOs, and fellow TurkishWIN members will come through your TurkishWIN Speaker Club page. 

We offer year-long training to our seasoned and emerging speakers to get better at giving presentations and storytelling. Sharing is caring! Last, but not least, you will meet fellow speakers and share ideas or suggestions

Tips to help your Speaker Club profile stand out

Your speaker page is completely unique to you. Below are some pointers for your profile to shine:

  • Make sure you have a motto - everyone is looking for like-minded people for their events, this is a great opportunity to show your essential values.
  • Keep your bio up-to-date. We live in a fast paced world, jobs and titles can change. Make sure you update your bio every now and then to keep it true. You can do so by going to edit profile > edit speaker profile
    • A sub note for this would be to include both an English and a Turkish bio. We have lots of universities and NGO’s requesting speakers in Turkish-spoken events.
  • Add your videos. If you have spoken at events before, this is a great way to showcase your past work. Make sure you add videos to your Speaker Page. You can do so by going to edit profile > edit speaker profile from your turkishwin.com account. 
    • A quick reminder to keep in mind: we only support YouTube and Vimeo videos currently. To get the best results please use the url from the search bar instead of the share button.
    • We can not include podcasts or articles on your profile yet. But keep an eye out for any emails from us that might have the latest updates.  
  • Your Wall of Love section. We wanted to give you a space to showcase some of the great feedback you received from organizers, followers and your audience in general. You can add to your Wall of Love through your ‘Edit My Speaker Profile’ section.

If our speaker rejects your request, this might be for a number of reasons. Most of the time it will be because her schedule has already been filled beforehand. If this is the case, you can always go back to our roster of amazing women and pick a different speaker.

To minimize the chances of this happening, we ask that you invite speakers through the TurkishWIN Speaker Club at least 6 weeks in advance.

We know there is always another woman - a sister out there - who is walking in your shoes. She may be younger, less experienced or not as fortunate as you were then, struggling with the same questions, hesitations and worries. She needs to know and hear that it will all be ok. Telling your story will not only inspire and empower her, but it will also empower you. 

Bring on the good-the bad-the ugly. Tell your story and inspire others. If you did it, so can they!
