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:

• Enunciate! Dame Julie Andrews showed late-night host Stephen Colbert what it's like to practice one of the enunciation exercises from "My Fair Lady" in this video.
• Speeches of Note is a new blog from Shaun Usher, author of the popular Letters of Note books and blog. I'm happy to say women speakers are well-represented in his offerings.
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at why speaker coaches think you should spend more time preparing, and Famous Speech Friday shared thoughts from Patti Smith on the artist's journey.
• About the quote: Some courage for speakers, via Brené Brown. Find more quotes like this one on our Pinterest board of great quotes by eloquent women.
