Named in 2019 as "One of the 100 Best Confidence Books Of All Time!" (Book Authority)

Want to boost your confidence every time you speak? Written by an actor and speech coach, Fearless Speaking features the method that will help you eliminate your speaking fear in as little as 12 days.

We all know what it's like to feel worried and anxious, especially in stressful situations. But fear isn't rational. The truth is, you have everything you need to succeed when speaking to others . . . and overcoming your fear is easier than you think. Have you found yourself struggling with any of these types of negative thinking:

Learned Response: "I had a bad speaking experience once, and I know it's going to happen again."
Anticipation: "I worry for days or even weeks ahead of time."
Mind Reading: "I can tell the audience doesn't like me. And why is that person scowling?"
Fear of Appearing Nervous: "Everyone will see it and think I don't know what I'm talking about."
Fear of Going Blank: "It happened once, and it was awful. What if it happens again?"
Lack of Skills: "I'm just not a good speaker. Now everyone will know."
Physical Reaction: "My heart pounds, I can't breathe, my voice gets shaky . . . ugh!"
Performance Orientation: "I have to be an excellent speaker. Look at the others in my company."

The Fearless Speaking system features Dr. Gary Genard's performance-based approach to beating anxiety and building confidence: cognitive restructuring, reducing your "fight-or-flight" response, and learning focus, mindfulness, and presence. You'll learn and practice 50 hands-on exercises to acquire your own toolbox of confidence-building techniques.

As a professional actor, Gary Genard can turn anyone into a more confident and dynamic communicator, and has been doing so worldwide for over twenty years. If you suffer from speech anxiety, Fearless Speaking can change your life. Start enjoying public speaking today, and reap the rewards!

"This book is sensational! Fearless Speaking features a smart, positive method for eliminating your speaking fear immediately. You won't find a more hands-on and practical approach."
