Speaking in Public Without Fear
The very idea of speaking in front of other people, of giving a speech or even just a few short words, sets your heart pounding in your throat.
Every symptom of fear creeps up in you. The old familiar film starts running at full speed.
Before your inner eye you watch your voice fail, your hands shake, and yourself being humiliated beyond words.
What fear of speaking costs at work
You stay silent in meetings although you had the better idea. You let colleagues present what you worked out.
Perhaps you have turned down a promotion because it would have involved speaking in public.
From the outside this looks like reticence. Inside it is relief, followed by annoyance with yourself.
This is where the fear becomes expensive — not on the stage, but in the opportunities you let pass because of it.
Why preparation alone is not enough
You know your subject. You have reworked the slides three times and learned the text by heart.
And still your voice fails at the decisive moment. That is because the fear is not attached to the content.
Standing in front of an audience means, to your subconscious: being judged, being exposed, unable to walk away. It responds with alarm although there is no danger.
More preparation does not reach that level.
How life coaching with hypnosis helps
LIFE COACHING with HYPNOSIS clears the way for an easy exchange with others.
The inner film is replaced
With the help of your inner sources of strength you will be able to replace the old, disruptive images that make your life hard with new and liberating ones.
Instead of the humiliation you see yourself speaking calmly. Your subconscious does not sharply separate what is lived from what is vividly imagined.
We look at where it began
Often there is a single situation at the start: a presentation at school, laughter from the class, one sentence from a teacher.
Once it is recognised, it loses its power over the present.
You are given something for the moment before
You learn a short anchor for the minutes before you speak and for the walk to the front. Nobody notices it.
You will look forward to your next talk in front of other people creatively and calmly.
How it works
The first session lasts 90 minutes and costs 130 euros. It leaves time for your story, for setting your goal, and already for a hypnosis.
Each further session costs 90 euros for 60 minutes. All details are on my price list.
If it is an exam situation, have a look at Exam Anxiety. For executives I also offer individual coaching.
Frequently asked questions
I have to present in two weeks. Is there enough time?
Yes. With a concrete date we can work quickly, because the goal is clear and we can go through exactly that situation.
More lead time is more comfortable, because you then experience the preparation more calmly too. It is not necessary.
Will this turn me into a different person?
No. If you are a quiet person, you will not become an entertainer. That would not be the aim either.
The point is that the fear no longer takes your voice. How you speak stays your own way.

Hypnosis accompanies and supports therapy; it does not replace medical treatment. If a pronounced social anxiety disorder lies behind the fear of speaking, I will say openly if additional psychotherapeutic care is the better route.
