The Eloquent Woman's weekly speaker toolkit

I read a lot about women and public speaking, and post my finds first on The Eloquent Woman on Facebook. But I always collect them here for you on Mondays as well. Here's what I've been reading lately:

• I just don't like your voice, lady: A powerful essay on the common complaint female sports announcers face from male listeners: They just don't like hearing female voices call sports games. (Women radio announcers and reporters also get these complaints in all topic areas.) My, we don't like listening to powerful women, do we?
• Say yes to the no: “The ability to communicate ‘no’ really reflects that you are in the driver’s seat of your own life." Start practicing, eloquent women...
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at Senator Elizabeth Warren's inspiration from high school debate class, and Famous Speech Friday shared the creepy interview of HBO's Sheila Nevins by Alec Baldwin. She handled it like a boss.
• About the quote: Tell them who you are, eloquent women. Wisdom from Ursula Burns.
