Speech Session to Overcome Your Stage Fright

Info

---- Introduction ----

Many seminars promise to eliminate stage fright, but the majority fall short of delivering results.

While some claim that a single session can transform lives, enduring change requires more than just a momentary experience.

The anxiety felt during public speaking typically cannot be resolved by theoretical knowledge alone.

It's important to seek effective solutions rather than falling for quick fixes.

Significant change occurs gradually. This program is specifically designed to help individuals build confidence and overcome stage fright over time.

Our approach has been validated through numerous successful outcomes in public speaking improvement.

Each speech session lasts between 2 to 3 hours and is focused entirely on personal experiences, rather than being lecture-based.

Participants have the opportunity to deliver six speeches throughout the sessions to alleviate stage fright through positive speaking experiences.

Whether preparing for a work presentation or simply wanting to improve speaking skills, everyone is welcome—stage fright is not a prerequisite.

What participants can expect from the speaking practice sessions:

These sessions are tailored for individuals battling stage fright to hone their speaking abilities.

Initiated in January 2015 in Japan, they have gathered over 300 sessions, becoming one of the leading programs in Tokyo.

Now, there are plans to launch sessions in the United States in winter 2024.

While some may think that public speaking experience alone can conquer stage fright, the reality is more complex.

Failing to succeed numerous times does not instill confidence; one’s mindset may remain focused on fear rather than achievement.

Conversely, repeated successful experiences can instill the belief that one can perform well again.

Thus, successful, affirming experiences are crucial for overcoming this fear.

This program fosters a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere, allowing participants to work on their stage fright collaboratively.

Notes may be referenced during speeches, with topics chosen by participants. If discomfort arises, stopping mid-speech is perfectly acceptable.

The objective is for every participant to achieve six "successful speech experiences" in a relaxed and supportive environment.

For those serious about conquering stage fright, these sessions promise a supportive setting with peers who understand.
