Public Speaking Fear? Shift Your Thoughts.
Is one of your biggest fears having to speak publicly? Give a report at a meeting? Pitch a design or a project? Network with new people? Win a job interview or promotion?

My BVocal Presence coaching techniques involve time-honored exercises from theatre performance to help you shift from the fear of being judged and failing to the joy of making meaningful connections and eliciting positive response.
