Six cities
Women coming together to practise speaking, back their ideas and use their voices

The movement

Good ideas deserve to be heard

Six cities
One purpose: helping women use their voices
You can have the expertise, the ideas and the ambition, but struggle to say them out loud. Annelise created You’re On Mute to give women a place to work on exactly that. In 2026, the tour brought women together across six Australian cities for a full day of practical communication training, connection and speaking practice.

A room full of women giving it a go

Practical tools, shared stories and time to put it all into practice
Women practised speaking, tried new techniques and learned alongside people who understood the nerves. Annelise guided them through exercises to speak more clearly and confidently, with plenty of conversation and laughter along the way. The focus was on tools they could take into their next meeting, presentation or everyday conversation.
