This is great in that I no longer have to waste time or energy with a fear of public speaking. It's hard to believe that 3 hours can eliminate years of a belief, but it's true. I would definitely recommend to anyone being held back by a fear of public speaking or wasting energy worrying about what they may say to use The Lefkoe Method. Quit being stuck!

Every time I had to stand up in front of an audience of as few as 30 people I felt a real fight-and-flight panic reaction. I gave a three-hour class last night at Cal State Long Beach and felt no fear at all.

My fear of public speaking had stopped me from completing my Ph.D. I knew that after my book was written I would have to speak publicly in order to spread my message. My fear of public speaking kept me from completing my degree requirements. I now feel ready to write and promote a book that I have been procrastinating about for a full year.

Due to my fear of public speaking I had been limited in the promotional activities that I could select to enhance my business. Now that the fear is gone, I am equipped to speak publicly and promote my business in ways I could not before.

Originally I had felt somewhat skeptical until I got in front of a room filled with people and realized that I was no longer in a state of panic. I really appreciate The Lefkoe Method because the fear of public speaking is completely gone.

People have a choice about living with the fear of public speaking. They can use The Lefkoe Method to eliminate the fear of public speaking.

My fear of public speaking was preventing me from getting promoted and handling more responsibility. I would stutter, get anxious, and make mistakes in front of my managers and important clients. As a result, my managers did not think I had the abilities to be promoted.

After my 2 sessions with Morty, my fear was 100% gone.

The funny thing was that I didn't even realize that and I was successfully doing presentations until Morty called to check in.

Since completing my sessions, I've successfully done 2 presentations to 20 people, some of whom were antagonistic to me; held my own and stood up for myself in front of others; and met 2 Chief Officers of a firm and talked to them with poise, knowledge, and was articulate.

It was funny seeing my coworker stammering, acting anxious, and making mistakes- the same stuff I used to do until 2 weeks ago.

The best thing I like about eliminating my fear is that I now sound intelligent and competent to my clients and managers, so that I can garner more respect and perhaps a promotion.

Using The Lefkoe Method to eliminate my fear of public speaking was quick and interesting. We started with fear, and then I soon realized that this was something I picked up in childhood and also involved judgment, low self-esteem, shame, and embarrassment. We quickly went through everything painlessly and effortlessly in 2 sessions.

I think the best thing about this process is that it's permanent.

I didn't need to spend 6 months on a doctor's couch, and I saw the results immediately.

I've always been held back by the fear of publc speaking. And, frequently, I was not able to enter into group discussions until we had met four or five times. This inability was limiting in my business and personal relationships because I rarely got my voice into important conversations in time to have any influence on the outcome.

However, just three days after my second session with Morty, I spoke in front of a group of new people four times, totally without fear or apprehension. Before these sessions, speaking in front of a new group had always been extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Now, speaking in front of groups and with potential coaching and training clients has taken on a lightness and ease. My first two marketing calls this week landed me two new coaching clients and my coaching has taken on a new clarity.

Morty's process is fast, effective and efficient and my public speaking fear is gone, period.

I work as a liaison between the business and technology group within my company. This can be a difficult role in trying to bring two groups that don't see something the same. Meetings can be quite a challenge with different personalities, and interests playing out while you try to present something. If that isn't enough to deal with my internal struggle with myself, and the anxiety to perform was stopping me from succeeding at holding meetings.

This internal struggle would manifest itself physically and emotionally. In the morning of a major meeting, the thought would occur, call in sick that is the answer. I was so tensed up the meeting would be a disaster. The throw up factor was with me the whole meeting so I couldn't focus. After the meeting I couldn't even write up the notes for the meeting, as I had to relive the anxiety one more time.

I was offered "how to hold a meeting" courses by my managers, thinking this was the issue. I would think it is organization, eye contact and oh, yes the infamous see everyone in their underwear trick that I was missing. None of this worked. I realized it was inside me that wasn't working right.

I found the Speaking Without Fear website and it made sense. I needed to understand what was driving my physical and emotional issues around a meeting. I did have my doubts about doing this over the phone, but what did I have to lose there was the money back guarantee. I had my sessions and the changes for me were almost immediate.

In technology we have two words that get a lot of respect, Just Works. If something Just Works, you have hit the nail on the head. Applications and technology can have no higher recommendation from a customer in that it Just Works. The Lefkoe Method just plain works.

There was some hard work on my part. I had to be ready to see that the actions of today can be something from my past. Those old demons that we all have can play havoc on one's life. Once I realized that these issues were always there to be resolved, I regretted I hadn't done it earlier. But, here is the best part the road that lies ahead is the path that I make it without all of that old baggage that was stopping me from being as effective as I could be.

Well I had my talk today and it went just amazing. It couldn't have gone any better. My face didn't get red and my voice didn't shake AT ALL. I mean, I was a tiny bit nervous the morning of and a little before but not NEARLY as much as before and once I got going it was reallly easy. I mean, it just went soooo well, like more than I thought was even possible.

I was talking about the AIDS orphans and by the end the kids started crying!!! Afterwards everyone came up to me to tell me how they were soo impressed and started taking pictures and everything. One of the teachers told me that she had gotten sooo many calls that week from parents that were against two 18 year olds giving the assembly period because they thought the audience would take advantage of us, but she said she'd never seen a the kids more silent and involved before.

Thank you so much shelly. I gave the same talk later that night for a fund raising event that the high school was sponsoring and I raised over $1000 to bring to the orphanage in Thailand.

I got the adults to start crying too! woohoo! :) I've never felt so proud of myself and I finally feel free and powerful and respected. Thank you so much for helping me get to that state.

Hopefully we'll talk in the future.

Thank you again for seriously changing my life.

Dale Ryan, High School Student

I cannot thank you enough. I am completely amazed with your work as I never thought I would be able to overcome this fear of public speaking. Normally, I would have found every way possible to get out of presenting but yesterday I went in and was very calm. There were a few nerves but no heart pounding, shortness of breath or quivering voice! What a miracle worker you are!! Not only did I give my speech yesterday, I set up a spontaneous interview on camera for a video shoot. I never would have done this in the past either. Truly a transformational day.

Thank you again, Shelly for taking me in on Thursday. You truly changed my life and I am forever grateful. I look forward to working with you in the future. I feel as if a tremendous weight has been lifted off my shoulders and can't wait to see how much lighter I can become.

Kind regards,

Margaret, Director of Marketing (phone number available on request)

I am very pleased to tell you that, in addition to the big one in Sweden, I also made about a half dozen or so theatre style trade show booth presentations at Dallas...all with absolutely no sign of fear or anxiety!

I cannot believe it. I actually was looking forward to my next one while in Dallas. I cannot tell you how much of a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel like I am now in so much more control of my career. I can't imagine ever having a fear of public speaking again.
