Can't make a resource recommendation, but I can tell you what helped me.

I started looking at business news or stockholder calls, compiled highlights onto a narrative and tried to bring it up with people that I thought would be interested. Those conversations really helped me guage a) if my logical structuring was tight enough and b) if I made the story relarable enough to keep their interest. an unintended side effect is that my peers and client came to think of me as a source of expertise on a variety of subjects, which really helped me market myself and the firm.

It takes a lot of upfront work though, so it may not be for everyone.

I have heard good thinks about “toastmasters” and also improv?

Improv. The classes do get deep into the mechanics of what makes a good story, and it’s fun.

Hey guys can someone help me refer my friend in BDO? Please help me if you can. My friend is urgently looking for Job. TIA.

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
