Public Speaking Anxiety Solved
“The turning point in solving my own crippling stage fright came at age 45 with the epiphany that my problem was not a block in speaking, but a block in receiving the available listening.
“This set me on a path to discover how to tune into ‘available listening.’ It took some practice, but I soon got to the point of feeling at home with any audience, having discovered that when I allow room for their listening, their attention comes to me like a magnet.
“This led me to devise the Speaking Circles protocol which provides a luminous listening field for one person at a time to pleasurably come to terms with an audience that is practiced at providing a soft steady gaze of kind regard.
“With no pressure to give a talk or speak at all, but rather to simply meet the soft gaze of one listener at a time and see what might come through to express, this became a foolproof way for 90% of participants to change their relationship with audiences in the ‘real world’ forever.”
