Fans of The Eloquent Woman on Facebook see links to good reads, resources and ideas from other sources there, in addition to posts from the blog. But you won't miss a thing, since I'm summarizing that extra content and putting it here on the blog for all readers to see. Here's what I shared in the week just past:- Transcribe and learn: TED needs volunteer transcribers for TEDx talks. Even better than its good reasons for why you should sign up: You'll learn a lot about what goes into a good (and bad) TEDx talk.
- No wonder women don't want to speak up: This compilation of how women are referred or spoken to on one TV network offers one answer for why women don't seek speaking or interview roles.
- It gets worse: A male blogger's take on the lack of women speakers in the tech world: It's worse than it seems, as women are a higher percentage of workers in cerrtain categories.
- Every woman needs a sponsor: I was last week's sponsor for Technically Speaking, a weekly email newsletter for tech speakers. It comes out on Tuesday, so today's a good day to subscribe...
- Did you miss? Last week, our Famous Speech Friday looked at Viola Davis's powerful acceptance speech at the 2015 Emmy Awards, and I wrote about why you should resist the urge to neaten up your personal stories in speeches. On the Moderating Panels blog, I offered ways moderators can help stop the "what she said" syndrome among speakers on the panel.
- About the quote: Wise words from Susan B. Anthony, who got us the vote so we could have a voice. From our Pinterest board of quotes for public speakers.
