The Eloquent Woman's weekly speaker toolkit

Savvy speakers keep up with my wide-ranging reading list on women and public speaking by following The Eloquent Woman on Facebook, where these links and articles appear first. I always collect them here for you on Mondays as well. It's a great way to expand your public speaking knowledge:

• Major speaking fear: An extreme fear of social interaction--including fear of public speaking--is social anxiety, examined in this useful article.
• Hear me roar: Elizabeth Renzetti looks at the consequences of speaking out in Having an opinion while female: You'll need a thick skin.
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at my April workshop in London on creating a TED-quality talk, and Famous Speech Friday shared perspective on Meryl Streep's Golden Globes speech.
• About the quote: For the Women's March on Washington next weekend, artists were asked to contribute designs for posters for the marchers. We're partial to this one, focused as it is on women's voices.
