Essential Speaking

Many people are crippled in their personal and
professional lives by a deep fear of public speaking.
They avoid leadership roles at work, cower in
group settings, and can't seem to put their feelings
and ideas into words-even with loved ones. As a
result, their true potential remains unrealized.
Doreen Hamilton, a Licensed Psychologist, once
suffered from stage fright. She set out to conquer
her fear and discovered that being centered in
our true selves is the key to relaxed and confident
public speaking. She learned how to speak from
her "essential self " and is now an internationally
recognized speaker and seminar leader.
Essential Speaking takes you beyond scripts and
techniques, the mainstays of conventional public
speaking classes.

By following the 7 practical steps
outlined in this book, you will learn to:

• Speak without fear in any situation
• Be fully present in front of groups
• Create real connection with listeners
• Access your wise inner voice
• Live a full and authentic life
