Hello Influential Women team, I am a Leadership Advisor to Fortune 500 executives and strategist for first-time founders. As the Founder & CEO of Olivia Dufour Consulting, I equip women with the tangible tools and coaching to effectively negotiate their next promotion and leap to new levels in compensation. For the past 10 years, I have advised tech and finance companies, discussed strategy with military leaders, and outside of work hours, offer pro-bono coaching to women that do not receive support or resources. My passion in life is to see women use their unique leverage to gain the visibility and recognition that their work deserves. My speaking engagements are focused on women in leadership, overcoming doubt, negotiating for more and the future of work.

Hi, I'm Sarrah Pitaliya, VP of Digital Marketing at Radixweb. I believe that I can bring meaningful value to your audience by discussing how women can make a mark for themselves in a male-dominated tech field. Over the past 15+ years, I've led digital marketing and growth initiatives for global brands. I've built high-performing teams and orchestrated strategies that delivered real business impact. All while navigating the inherent challenges that women face in a male-dominated field. My experience has given me insight into how women can navigate these challenges, build influence, and step confidently into leadership roles. Here is a recent podcast I hosted: https://youtu.be/ZmlEWmVooEw?si=jACUoJCBOdOH5QYq. It reflects the kind of conversations I enjoy leading around leadership, digital innovation, and latest happenings in the tech world. I am comfortable speaking on topics such as women in tech leadership, digital marketing, emerging tech and its impact on marketing and tech, and leading with impact. I feel that these conversations matter because I've seen how powerful it is when women are equipped with practical guidance, actionable frameworks, and the confidence to make bold moves in their careers. My goal is to inspire women to claim their voice, grow their influence, and thrive in spaces where they can make a difference. Happy to discuss further if this aligns with what you're looking for.

Topics of expertise * Work life balance and sustainable success for women in demanding roles * Getting recognized at work and increasing visibility without self-promotion fatigue * Stepping into leadership and seniority with clarity, presence, and influence Links to videos or previous speaking engagements * Recent live streams and talks: https://www.youtube.com/@dana_zellers/streams * Recent podcast appearance: https://www.togetherindigital.com/podcast/unlock-your-success-system/ What I speak on and why it matters to women: I help women create careers that work for their real lives, not against them. Too many women are doing exceptional work while operating at an unsustainable pace, being overlooked for opportunities, or stepping into leadership roles without the support or clarity they need. My talks give women practical ways to create balance, build visibility, and lead with more confidence and influence. I focus on the challenges high-achieving women face every day: carrying the invisible workload, taking on more than their role requires, being passed over despite strong performance, and navigating leadership expectations that were never designed with women in mind. I offer tools that help them reclaim their time, communicate their value, elevate their presence, and step into seniority without losing themselves. The goal is simple: empower women to succeed on their terms and build careers that actually feel good to live. Please reach out if I can provide any additional information. Dana dana@danazellers.com

Hi! My name is Jenny and I'm a founder / brand builder / digital health expert. This sounds like a fantastic opportunity. * Topics of expertise - marketing (d2c), brand building, digital health, women's health, entrepreneurship * Links to any videos or previous speaking engagements - https://jenniferdwork.com/press * A short note about what you speak on and why it matters to women - I speak on my non-traditional path from TV producer to marketer and now building my first business (as a pregnant woman!). I work in often highly stigmatized areas (women's health including BV, UTIs, STIs) and anorectal care - working to increase access, break down barriers, and normalize these conversations for women.
Excited for the opportunity! Topics of expertise: leadership and career growth (e.g. leading with clarity, delegation and decision making rights, leading through change when under-resourced); people strategy & org culture (building high performing teams, future-proofing your organization); confidence, clarity & influence (e.g.Confidence, Clarity & Influence (e.g.: finding your voice as a woman leader (and letting go of outdated scripts), Influence without authority: how women get things done inside messy orgs, How to give feedback that sticks without over-explaining or apologizing); Navigating Ambition, Identity & Neurodiversity (e.g. Leadership lessons from a late ADHD diagnosis) Links Building a Leadership Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-leadership-bench-with-guest-lisa-friscia/id1690049430?i=1000721503773 Career Pivot: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/232-how-to-transfer-your-skills-into-a-new-position/id1548327541?i=1000649162140 Addressing Burnout (panel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIPleXDKdqk What Moneyball taught me about hiring: https://vimeo.com/1022618285?share=copy#t=0 I speak about the real challenges women face when they step into leadership—often without clear expectations, support, or the space to lead in their own way. My work focuses on practical tools for clarity, communication, delegation, and building teams that don't rely on a few people carrying all the weight. I also share how my late ADHD diagnosis reshaped my approach to work and why so many women end up over-functioning without even realizing it. This matters because women are often navigating systems not designed for them, and they deserve strategies that help them lead with confidence, sustainability, and a sense of ownership over their own path.
Thank you for considering me for your Influential Women podcast. I currently host the Fearless Females Podcast, where I focus on amplifying women's voices across all professions. This work aligns closely with your mission to inspire and elevate professional women through shared experiences and practical insights. I also feel that I could add to this space with my very practical and actionable ideas around women and finance. Women have been underrepresented and underserved in financial services for decades, and I would love to be a catalyst for practical change in that space. I have some very impactful, actionable steps that women can use to take control of their financial future. I do have experience speaking on stages, symposiums and events. I would be happy to discuss potential topics that would resonate with your audience.
Thank you for considering me for your podcast. My focus is on championing women in technology, and I regularly address this topic through speaking engagements, podcasts, and mentorship work. I speak on advancing women's careers in tech and creating pathways for female professionals to succeed in traditionally male-dominated fields. This matters to women because technology continues to be one of the most influential and lucrative industries, and women deserve equal representation and opportunities in this space.
1 / I deliver talks about how the body expresses self-assurance, how design functions as a therapeutic practice, and how sensuality connects to personal respect. The lingerie and swimwear collections I design are created to help women reconnect with their own identity, rather than seek external validation. My professional background includes fashion and product development, but my true mission is to help women cultivate deeper body awareness, self-assurance, and a more empowered self-image. 2 / https://linkedin.com/in/julia-pukhalskaia-9b0b98337 3 / I teach that softness is a strong and powerful quality. Women don't need to physically change or become stronger to earn respect--it's already within them. Through my design work, I emphasize that your body doesn't require transformation to be worthy. Beauty exists within your own body; it's not something you have to chase.
Good afternoon, my name is Hayley Barber and I am a licensed cosmetology who has been practicing behind the chair for over 20 years. I am originally from the U.K but migrated to the U.S with my family in which I achieved my practicing Cosmetology license and now practice in the state of Florida. I am a mom of 4 children, and have built my business, Hair By Hayley from the ground up. As a solo female business owner, I found myself practicing mobile hairstyling as it was becoming difficult to balance caring for my children and a full time salon position. This decision led me to where I am today, a business owner and aspiring educator for cosmetologists who aspire to be more inclusive. I cater towards an underserved community, those who cannot access a traditional salon setting. Some of my clients include those who suffer from chronic illnesses and cannot access a physical salon, those with medical devices who do not feel cared for in a setting where they cannot use their mobile devices as well as those who have mental health challenges that can make the busy salon setting an uncomfortable experience. My time as a mobile stylist has led me to the discovery that not a lot of stylists cater to people who are underserved beauty industry. My areas of expertise are: business owner, trauma-focused care, implementing inclusivity as a cosmetologist and a female business owner who also has 4 children (balancing home life with work). Please let me know if you would like any further information from me whether it be client testimonials or a resume of my experience. Thank you!

I have experienced firsthand that connecting is the key to success in a career, community, and as a parent. I've engaged with millions of people to build confidence, connections, and meaningful collaborations. As CEO of Last Night's Game and Cultivate A Network Of Champions, a corporate executive, Chair Emeritus of IrishAngels, and an adjunct professor, my message of creating confidence in conversation has reached audiences of over 6 million people in the last seven years alone. Women are at the core of my audience, not just because I am one but because I've worked alongside and been led by women my entire career, and not all of those experiences were positive. Women can be hard on each other, but we're typically hard on ourselves. I love speaking to women because we are accomplished, driven, and collaborative, but don't often own our competitive edge, which makes us memorable, nor do we share our accomplishments as they deserve to be recognized. From my sports business to angel investing to speaking on building a network of champions with confident connections that create a competitive edge, my mission in all of my work is to help people win.
Hello Podcast Team, Thank you for your opportunity to empower young women's voices. My name is Ashleigh Ewald, 23, and it would be an honor to be considered as a guest for the Influential Women podcast. Listed below are the expertise topics that I hope to add to, and how I can meaningfully contribute to the conversation. Topics of Expertise: Gen Z leadership & empowerment — encouraging young women to pursue ambitious academic, professional, and civic pathways. Women in public policy and government — navigating graduate school, imposter syndrome, and public-service careers as a young woman who experienced overcoming foster care, adoption twice, and then becoming a full-ride Master of Science in Public Policy student at Georgia Tech. Digital media storytelling — how young women can build platforms, shape narratives, and create opportunities through social media and uplift communities. Adoption, identity, and resilience — transforming early life challenges into a mission-driven career of policymaking and helping improve the quality of life for many. Political communication & advocacy — making complex issues accessible to younger audiences. As a part of my podcast experience, I created my 100% Real with Ashleigh Ewald Talk Show in my senior high school to bridge young people and community leaders. Later on, during college, I had the honor to interview well-known figures such as New York Times bestseller Harlan Cohen --- college expert, Tony Awards Actor BD Wong, Fanbase CEO Isaac Hayes III, TikTok Star Karissa Eats, and more.
