FEARLESS Speaking

This is a 5-session class exclusively for people who get nervous speaking in front of an audience. By limiting the class in this way, a safe and supportive

soverex public speaking for the individual

environment can be created where participants feel comfortable working through the lessons. Participants are taught practical methods that make working through public speaking anxiety much easier and faster, and surprisingly a lot of fun! In addition, these same methods significantly improve participants’ speaking skills. The FEARLESS book is given to each student as supplementary reference material to the class.

FEARLESS Speaking II

This class was created by popular demand from FEARLESS students who wanted to continue their development. It is a 4-session class exclusively for graduates of the FEARLESS class. Building on the basics of overcoming fear learned in the first class, this class will help students hone their skills and learn more advanced speaking techniques.

Student Responses

“I never dreamed I could have so much fun speaking!”
“Hi Tonja, I was in your Speaking Without Fear class a few weeks ago. I'm writing to tell you that I gave my presentation and it was a big success!!! I changed it all around, based on your suggestions & the feedback from class, and it went very smoothly. I actually got applause at one point and several compliments afterward. I have never, repeat NEVER, received compliments for my speaking. This was a wonderful experience! I want to thank you for everything you do.”
“I was in one of your speaking classes two years ago. It did wonders for me.“

“Hi Tonja,

I just wanted to tell you that my presentation went really well. Once I had the microphone I was able to speak loud and clear. My voice wasn't shaking and I got more and more comfortable being in front of the whole group as I went on. My opening line (the one you gave me) was really funny. It made EVERYONE laugh and that felt really good. People told me afterwards that I did great, too. All those words of encouragement felt really good.”

“Hi Tonja,

I just wanted to let you know that I had parents' night at work tonight. I did great! I wasn't that nervous. I took my time and took breaths like you taught us. I had some humor and asked them to raise their hands for something. My last presentation ended exactly on time and they clapped for me! I think the most helpful thing was realizing that I am the expert. I know more than they do about my subject. They are there to hear me. I will highly recommend your class to others.”

“I've had responses from almost all of the public speaking class participants, & they are unanimous in expressing their appreciation & their certainty that their public speaking skills have been strengthened & enhanced by the class. Thanks so much for customizing the class to fit our environment, and for providing such a useful, informative and inspiring series of classes!”
