Speaking Circles

How would you like to stand in front of your audience, feeling completely at ease and even enjoying the experience?

Don’t think it could happen?

Speaking Circles® offer an effective way to improve speaking skills and the ability to develop rapport with an audience and, yes, even come to enjoy speaking in public. In small groups (usually 5 to 8 people), participants focus on the connection between speaker and listener, being with listeners one person at a time. This innovative approach to self expression lends itself to the development of authentic
presence and impact in communication.

How participants can benefit:

* Present yourself with magnetic presence and authenticity.
* Inspire and motivate others.
* Express yourself with passion, creativity and spontaneity.
* Be comfortable with natural silences.
* Listen in a powerful new way.
* Learn to receive positive attention and appreciation.
* Experience an increase in self-confidence.
* Speak from the heart.
* Find your natural charisma and deep passion.
* Be seen and heard and appreciated for who you are.
* Enjoy the fun of comfortable, natural self-expression.
* Express the inner wisdom that flows out of silences.
* See and hear others differently, without the usual judgments.
* Be a more effective agent of change in the world.
* Give acknowledgment and appreciation more fully to people in your life.
* Enjoy the natural, gentle humor of our shared human experience.

Circles have been magical for me. I used to receive requests to give talks and I would just not return the calls. Now, I’m giving talks to 150 people – regularly - and loving it!
