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:

• Ad more women speakers: This Australian ad executive challenges the notion of no women speakers on panels. And in Tel Aviv, this ad agency seems to have a good model for getting more women speakers out there.
• Did you miss? Last week, I took issue with the word "bitch" in resting bitch face, and this blog reached a major milestone with our 200th Famous Speech Friday post: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's opinion in the landmark VMI case. On the Moderating Panels blog, we looked at what happens when the panel gets away from the moderator.
• About the quote: A reminder from Hillary Clinton that when people don't like what women say, they are likely to call it something else. Worth remembering, eloquent women--but not a real reflection on you.

I've got two small-group workshops coming up on Creating a TED-quality talk in Washington, DC, in January. Choose the January 14 workshop or the January 28 workshop. All you need to do is bring your one big idea for a talk in the style of TED. You'll learn how to plan, write, time, practice, and deliver it in a group limited to 5 people per workshop. Join us!
