Stage Fright

Course Length:

One Hour

Price:

£250

There is no more universally felt fear than that of public speaking, second only to death itself. This means at a funeral most would rather be the body in the casket rather than the speaker giving the eulogy. For over a thousand years, great speakers have shared their fears of speaking in public. Even during the golden age of public speaking, a pencil scrawl written by a man sentenced to be hanged read “I would rather face the gallows than speak to the crowd before it”.

Whether you’re saying “Hello” on a zoom call or standing up for a simple meeting, if you find you’re trembling before an audience in person or remote, big or small, in this one-off course you will learn:

The background behind stage fright and the fear of public speaking
How to manage anxieties before, during and after a speech
Exercises to regulate your breathing, rumination and internal dialogue
How to use your environment to your benefit to deliver a confident and compelling speech
Skills specific to your particular needs and concerns

This course also comes with an optional bespoke report which outlines your current strengths, weaknesses and exercises for home practice.
