As Bill Gove once said "Speaking is easy. You already know how." He's right. Even my baby daughter can speak. One day soon we'll even work out what she means:)

Actually she, like all kids, points to the key to speaking with no fear. She already knows that speaking is natural and it just feels great!

Sadly for most adult humans something got in the way.

Fear.

Fear, any fear at all including the fear of public speaking, will hold you back and stop you enjoying life.

I've been speaking in public for more than thirty yearsStarting when I was in school debating teams, then on into a 21 year military career as a Naval Officer and for the last 9 years, as a Business Coach and owner of my own businesses. For at least the last 9 years my income has depended largely on my ability to speak in front of groups of people and I have done thousands of presentations of various types.

I used to be afraid of speaking and now I'm not.

If you'd just love to be able to say the same thing with absolute confidence then read on!

As a result of my own speaking activities and a lot of time spent coaching people and studying what makes them tick, I believe there are only three things you need to do to get rid of the fear of public speaking forever.

1. Understand it.

2. Love it.

3. Practice it.

They are like the three legs of a milking stool. If any one is missing or shorter than the others, it's all gets a bit wobbly!

Here's how this site has been designed to help you with all three.

Understand It

When you truly understand speaking your thoughts won't allow you to be afraid of it. This site is packed with articles. blog entries, and video lessons aimed at building your understanding of public speaking. You'll also find a lot of content designed to help you understand the fear of public speaking itself.

Love It

Ever heard the statement "Love conquers fear"? It points to a great truth. How can you be afraid of something if you love it so much that you can't wait to do it? This site is designed to help you develop a passion and enthusiasm for speaking in public - no matter what the occasion.

Practice It

Public speaking is something you do - not just something you understand and love. Recognizing that there's no substitute for a ton of practice, I've created a way for you to do it online. You simply video yourself speaking, upload it to You Tube and then create your own page on no-fear-public-speaking.com with a link to your video. You can get your talk reviewed by other members of our on-line community and gain exactly the sort of feedback you need to help you improve. You can even get your speaking evaluated by me personally if you want to go into more detail and it's worth your while to invest some cash in that type of one to one attention. I'm very excited about this aspect of the site because it'll enable you to get years worth of experience at speaking in a few weeks or months - it only depends on how fast you want to go!

If you can even start to imagine your life with absolutely no fear of public speaking, then I congratulate you and invite you to start exploring this site.
