Overview

It is a fear all too many people are familiar with. First, your heart starts beating hard and fast, then your face feels hot and flushed and you have difficulty catching your breath. A gripping fear seizes you and you start to have a feeling of impending doom. For those afraid of speaking or performing in public, these symptoms are all too real. Fear of public speaking is reported to be the number one fear of American adults, with many experiencing tremendous suffering because of it. This fear takes a huge toll on people's lives as it stops them from fully expressing themselves in front of others. It afflicts not only the timid, but also those who are otherwise seen as outgoing and highly capable. Many professional people report engaging in tactics to avoid speaking in public or they find themselves far less effective when they do speak due to their high anxiety level. Many have given up professional opportunities for advancement just to avoid facing their fear of presentations. There is clearly much lost potential in the workplace due to this fear and most companies are unaware of the hidden cost of stage fright in the workplace. Janet Esposito s book 'In The SpotLight: Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking and Performing' offers a unique approach to the age-old problem of stage-fright for speakers and performers. In The SpotLight goes right to the heart of the matter and focuses exclusively on how to reduce, master, and ultimately move beyond the fear.
