A book and a DVD on how to overcome shyness, social anxiety and fear of public speaking.

Fear of speaking in front of an audience can cause tremendous stress for some people. The symptoms are easy to recognize - quaking voice, lump in the throat, knocking knees and a pounding heart. This syndrome is also an indication of shyness in public. Can this dread and anxiety of public speaking be overcome?

To overcome this fear it is important to understand the reason for this fear. There are several reasons for this fear.

Probably the most important among them is fear of rejection! What if I fail? How will I face xyz? I will be branded as a failiure for life.

Another reason is being extremely self conscious. Too much thought on what others might think about themselves is another prime reason for this fear. The entire focus is on what others in the room might be thinking about them rather than the speech itself!! Am I looking good doing this? Is this style ‘cool’? Are people able to see anxiety written on my face?

A third important reason is a tendency of being a perfectionist. Of course there is alaways a better way to do a thing. But rejecting yourself just because you feel you are not being ‘perfect’ is one big cause for causing stress and anxiety related to public speaking.

There are people who have suffered from this public speaking anxiety and have got over it. These are people who have analyzed their situation and tried various strategies to overcome their phobia. Some strategies succeeded and others failed. One such public speaking guru is John Simpson. Today he speaks in front of audiences ranging from a small group of Royalty (including Princes William and Harry, the Sultan of Brunei and Prince Rainier of Monaco) up to arenas and stadiums of many thousands. He is not only an excellent speaker but also an excellent teacher. He has compiled techniques that he has tried over a very long period - techniques that have worked for him and will work for any one who tries.
