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:

• No, and I mean it: A slight change of verbs gets you to the most effective way to say "no" to things you don't want to do.
• Help! In this video, Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi talks about presentations as one area where women can help other women.
• Equal opportunity: In the European Parliament's debate on equal pay, a male member made misogynistic remarks...and his female colleague came right back at him: 
An argument erupts in European... - Telegraph Politics
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at Gabby Giffords, women speakers, and the courage to face public audiences, and Famous Speech Friday shared Viola Davis's 2017 Oscar acceptance speech.
• Join me in London April 3 for my one-day workshop, Creating a TED-Quality Talk. It works for speakers, speechwriters, and anyone who wants to elevate their presenting in this way. Get some tips in my post, What you can learn from an outstanding TED talk, on Ragan.com.
• About the quote: Wisdom from Shailene Woodley. Find more quotes like this one on our Pinterest board of great quotes by eloquent women.
