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:

• The uniform: Switching to men's clothing taught me that the world doesn't want women to get too comfortable goes double for women speakers.
• Fight the interruptions: Can't finish a sentence? Here's how to handle interrupting colleagues, with tips based on research, and reflecting differences in interruption styles in different nations. Keep handy.
• Did you miss? This week, the blog considered trends in shorter talks, from TED to your next talk, and Famous Speech Friday shared Virginia Woolf's 1931"Professions for Women" speech.
• About the quote: Find more quotes like this one on our Pinterest board of great quotes by eloquent women.
