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:

• No: Refusing to answer questions about past salary--now considered a best practice for applicants--helps men, but hurts women.
• Ja: In a lovely speech about the benefits of knowing a second language. John le Carré quotes Charlemagne: “To have another language is to possess a second soul.”
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at Let it go: How to tell when your public speaking script should be frozen, and Famous Speech Friday shared Anita Sarkeesian's clap back at her trolls at VidCon. And an extra: I shared 10 lessons, 10 years into The Eloquent Woman blog.
• About the quote: Know your audience, but don't let them silence you. Wisdom from Michele Roberts.
