Speaking Circles help people who suffer from anxiety around speaking to overcome their fears.

  • Through Speaking Circles, people who suffer any level of anxiety around speaking, including severe stage fright and social anxiety, can learn to stand in front of a group and feel more at ease and receive the attention of their listeners. 
  • The approach to communication practiced in Speaking Circles is the most natural and effective way to eliminate performance anxiety and capture the attention of an audience. 
  • Creating group support in a step-by-step process, Speaking Circles use an approach that has been the key to gently dissolving fear of speaking in public for thousands around the world. 
  • In Speaking Circles, we have found that whatever separates a person from his or her listeners dissolves naturally, including stage fright and other types of anxiety around speaking. 
  • The method does not deal with content or performance techniques; rather it allows a person to be in intimate connection with their audience. 
  • Business communications and presentations are enhanced when you have the ability to be calm, confident and connected while speaking. 
  • Advanced Speaking Circle programs integrate such elements as content, structure, and presentation with the pure Speaking Circle approach. 
  • Lee Glickstein, author of Be Heard Now!, developed Speaking Circles in 1989 and is the founder of Speaking Circles® International.
  • Janet Zahn is a certified Speaking Circle® Facilitator.
