The Eloquent Woman's weekly speaker toolkit

Fans of The Eloquent Woman on Facebook see links to good reads, resources and ideas from other sources there, in addition to posts from the blog. But you won't miss a thing, since I'm summarizing that extra content and putting it here on the blog for all readers to see. Here's what I shared in the week just past:

• Self-esteem by another name is a big ego. Here's how your big ego can actually help your coworkers.
• Goals with soul: You can certainly take this approach with public speaking: reframe your goals based on how you want to feel, not what you want to accomplish.
• Start with "thank you:" Here's what to do when praise makes you uncomfortable.
• Send your lists: If you or someone you know has compiled a list of women speakers in your region or profession in order to increase the number of women on conference programs, please share a link to it in the comments, or in a tweet to me at @NoWomenSpeakers.
• About the quote: From our board on Pinterest of great quotes for public speakers, a rule that's easy to appreciate and tough to live up to.
• Coming up this week on the blog are some notes from my research for the book I'm writing on women and public speaking--this week, on misogyny around the world as a barrier to women's speaking--and a roundup of famous speeches by women about religion.
