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:

• Same old story: Part of the reason storytelling works is that we're really telling the same stories, again and again. All stories are the same is useful background for any public speaker.
• Introvert power: Introverts can use vulnerability to become strong leaders includes adapting public speaking to build on those strengths.
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at 10 questions to make you a more resilient speaker in 2017, and Famous Speech Friday shared Carrie Fisher's roast of George Lucas, a timing and pacing masterpiece.
• About the quote: More wisdom from Carrie Fisher that applies well to public speakers. Find more quotes like this one on our Pinterest board of great quotes by eloquent women.
