Being a Public Speaker Mom - Hosting Shmuela Jacobs

Bits of B

Speaking in conferences and traveling the world, can be challenging as is. But what happens when you have a baby? How can you still do it?

In this episode Britt hosts Shmuela, who has been traveling with her baby all over the world, giving talks and workshops, and smiling the whole time! Shmuela shares her experience, with some challenges and how to overcome them. The message is clear and loud - continue to do what you love, everything is possible! She also gives some ideas for organisers on how to make it a little easier for parents to speak and attend, in the hope that even more events will become more inclusive to parents.
