The Fear of Public Speaking

If you're afraid of public speaking and giving presentations, then you're not alone. Not thousands, but millions of persons are afraid to speak up in public. For so many, the thought of speaking at a business meeting, giving a presentation, or a speech is terrifying. Speaking in public is the most common fear; people fear public speaking more than they fear death! That's a researched fact.

You CAN Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking

I should know. I speak from my own personal experience. At one time I was phobic about public speaking, however now I excel at giving speeches, presentations, and workshops. Just as I overcame the fear of speaking, so too can you.

I have participated in an international competition for public speaking. I have won awards for both for public speaking and also constructively evaluating and coaching others to excellence in public speaking and the giving of presentations. Yet at one time, I would have trembled at the thought of speaking to others.

Just as I have overcome my fear of public speaking, so too can you. I know what it takes to turn fear into confidence and excellence, and I can teach you that confidence and excellence..

How do I teach public speaking excellence?

I coach clients to public speaking and presentations excellence using a two-fold approach:

Training to develop your skills of public speaking and giving presentations

Hypnosis training to transform your mental attitude towards speaking

Not only am I an excellent presenter, but also I am a counselor and clinical hypnotherapist (the links below share my other working interests). My background provides me a unique approach to training and coaching public speaking excellence -one that combines both practical skill building with subjective attitudinal change. Not everyone who can coach public speaking can do so from the perspective of both an award-winning speaker and a clinical hypnotherapist and counselor.

In each session, I teach you simple, straightforward public speaking coaching skills to enhance your delivery and presentation skills.. These skills can cover such topics as speech organization, delivery tips, vocal variety, gestures, using the stage, using visuals, etc. Also I teach you physiological tricks of how to transform fear into the energy that can make you a dynamic presenter. We practice these skills in session (ideally with a public speaking or presentation project upon which you are working).

Using hypnotherapy, I also work with you to reeducate the unconscious mind so that you overcome your fear of public speaking. We use the mind to overcome the very fears which the mind itself created. To enhance the effectiveness of your hypnotherapy work, I provide you with a cassette tape or CD recording of each hypnotherapy session. That way you can continue to benefit from and reinforce your developing confidence in the convenience of your own home and on your own time.

For public speaking improvement, I generally work with my clients from six to eight 50-minute sessions.

You should be to check things out without having to pay for answers to question like "Can hypnosis work for my needs?" "Is the "chemistry" right?" That's why I offer complimentary consultations.

Why choose my program? Feel Welcome to Compare...

I have made every effort to create for the most effective public speaking hypnosis program. I provide you here a link (little blue button above) to the Oregon Hypnotherapy Association for you to compare programs. I believe you will agree there isn't a superior program offered in the Oregon/Southwest Washington area.

When comparing, consider also that my hypnotherapy practice is distinguished from the majority of my fellow hypnotists in several important respects: 1) my expertise in hypnosis has been recogized by NGH as qualifying me to teach and train hypnotists for certification; 2) unlike most other hypnotists, I have an extensive eduational background in psychology including not only a bachelor degree and a master degree in psychology, but also trainings in additional counseling modalities including training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming by the founder of NLP. WIth this background and my own training as a successful speaker, I am capable of supporting your development as a confident speaker with a comprehensive set of skills.

Consider a free consultation

Working with a hypnotherapist is a transformative relationship shared by two persons. So, it is important that you take the time to check out any person with whom you might work. Is the chemistry between you and the hypnotist right? Does his / her background and abilities meet your needs? Would a referral be appropriate? Because it is important that you explore such questions and not have to pay for the privilege, I offer prospective clients the opportunity to meet with me for a free 50-minute consultation.

How do I arrange a session?

I welcome you to telephone (503.226.2771) or email me to arrange a consultation or session or to answer any questions you might have. My hypnotherapy and counseling offices are located in Portland, Oregon.
