In a world where change is rampant and fear can set in, Lee draws a connection between you and the audience that is charismatic. Public speaking becomes a spiritual experience, where you co-create with your listeners.

Ayurveda medicine says that speaking who you are improves your health. Expressing yourself fully increases your Agni (digestion), improves heart circulation and moods. Suppression of your voice represses your innate power. Be Seen Now! charts a practical path to living your healthiest self out loud.

I highly recommend Be Seen Now! to anyone who wants to feel more present, relaxed, and self-assured as a speaker.

“This is a beautiful book that honors the true value of human beings and invites us to express ourselves from the place of innate magnificence that is inside each of us. Lee has a magnificent life calling in assisting people to open up their natural abilities to communicate. Highly recommended.” 

Marilyn Gordon, author of Realize Your Greatness: A Spectacular Journey to Success, Transformation, & Spiritual Power

“This book is the perfect prescription for speakers who want to improve their delivery and presence with audiences. I love the ‘lack of technique’ approach—it’s easy, natural, and uplifting. It will influence my speaking going forward.”

Robert G. Kramer, author of Taming the Black Dog of Depression: A Guide for Those Who Are Suffering and Their Families 

“I’m getting a copy of this breakthrough book for every young speaker I know, and some of the old ones. It clarifies what I’ve known as a professional speaker for 30 years, that when we can drop into a deeper level of ourselves, we have a good time and people get who we are. When I present from this place I feel like my words and presence are touching people. 

Dale Ledbetter, author of From Mother with Love and How Wall Street Rips You Off — and what you can do to defend yourself

“I cannot recommend this new book more highly –it is truly a gem, filled with incredible wisdom that invites readers to take their communication skills to a much deeper and higher level, which will offer profound rewards for all who take his gentle, thoughtful ideas and wonderful insights to heart and put them into daily practice.”

Caroline Joy Adams, author of The Power to Write: Seven Keys to Discover Your Writer Within

Be Seen Now! is a rich resource of unusual methods for those wanting to master public speaking in an authentic way. Using the information contained in this book is likely to cause the audience to perk up and perhaps even lean forward to fully take in what is being said!”

Cheryl Scheurer, PhD, author of Wealth Transformation: Integrity, Integrity, Integrity

“Breathing, eye availability, and being fully present in the room are just the beginning of the gold Lee offers. These practices will not only make you a better speaker but also a better listener in everyday life.”

Michelle Vanderpas, author of Purpose, the Alignment Guide

“Within these chapters, Lee creates an internal environment of safety, science and self-reflection for the reader. Be Seen Now! encourages speakers to:

  • communicate with sincerity and clarity
  • infuse their audience with a relational presence and genuine heartfelt awareness
  • create a daily practice  of love and kindness for self and others

I recommend this book for teachers, therapists, spiritual leaders and professional speakers. An audience of 1 or 1000 would benefit from these lessons.

Debra Joy Hart, TedX Speaker and author of Grandma D’s Bubbles: A Lesson in Life and Loss

“I recommend Be Seen Now!. You will not just read it, you will keep it as a bible. Over thirty years ago, Lee Glickstein sparked my speaking abilities and lit a fire under me that allowed me to have confidence in myself even with a significant facial disfigurement. With that powerful starting point, I came to enjoy a speaking/performing/acting/comedy career for over a third of a century.”

David Roche, inspirational humorist and author of The Church of 80% Sincerity and Standing at the Back Door of Happiness: And How I Unlocked It

Inspiring Insights Into Being a Fearless Speaker


Public Speaking Anxiety Solved 

“Galileo, known as the father of modern science, was banished by the Pope as a heretic for theorizing out loud that the earth revolves around the sun rather than being the center of the universe. 

My heretic post-modern science notion is that the speaker is not the energy center of the room. Rather, the big energy in the room is the potent field of human attention the speaker asks that the speaker is asking for. 

My work is creating safe spaces for kind, responsible humans to practice energetically joining that listening field before speaking, and while speaking from it. I submit this book to you as a safe space to retrain your mind to approach public speaking so that you are seen and heard for who you truly are.”
