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

Available on Amazon and Online Sellers

Essential Speaking by Doreen HamiltonMany people are crippled in their personal and professional lives by a deep fear of public speaking.

There are those who 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.

As a Psychologist, Founder of Essential Speaking, and Training Director for Speaking Circles® International, I once suffered from stage fright. I set out to conquer my fear and discovered…being centered in one’s true self is the key to relaxed and confident public speaking.

Essential Speaking: The 7-Step Guide to Finding Your Real Voice takes you beyond scripts and techniques, the mainstays of conventional public speaking classes.

By following the 7 practical steps outlined in my 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
