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:

• Face the face: File this alongside the research that shows why we don't like the sound of our voices. Apparently, our brains are rigged to make us see our images as weird. No wonder speakers don't like watching their videos...
• Negotiation for women vs. men: I'm a proud alum of the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, and love that this guide to negotiating your salary doesn't start with the premise that the woman is somehow inept, but that the societal deck is stacked against here. With solid, research-backed resources.
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at Samantha Bee's ah-ha moment on wearing a comfortable outfit when you present, and Famous Speech Friday shared a speech by Hawaii Rep. Beth Fukumoto at the Women's March--a speech that reversed attempts to silence her.
• About the quote: Nikki Giovanni wants you to use that voice of yours, eloquent women! Find more quotes like this one on our Pinterest board of great quotes by eloquent women.
