Essential Speaking: The 7-Step Guide to Finding Your Real Voice Doreen Hamilton

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.

 * 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
