Summary

Can you believe standing on a stage in front of hundreds of people has become my comfort zone? It could be yours!

Your heart pounds. Sweaty palms. Quivering voice. You’re not alone. You suffer from “Glossophobia” - the fear of public speaking. And it is crippling your career. Don’t worry. Once upon a time, Esther Stanhope was just like you.

She was shaky, red-faced, and stumbling on stage. Now she speaks to audiences all over the world - and it's her mission to help you say good-bye to glossophobia, too.

This audiobook is for you if you:

  • Hate having all the eyes on you
  • Would rather stick pins in your eyes than speak in public
  • Think “Oh ****” in the Q&A after a presentation
  • Need to be more visible to build your career and your business
  • Dread the thought of introducing yourself around the table (creeping death)
  • Need the confidence to do it and help now!

Whether you’re in the corporate, public, or creative side of the world, this audiobook helps you smash any presentation and feel confident. Esther Stanhope shares her quirky secrets so you can stand up, speak out, and be yourself.

"At some point in our careers, we all have to address an audience of some sort. This book is packed with real-life tips from someone who spent her life behind the camera (at the BBC) coaching others to be at their absolute best." (Vanessa Vallely - founder WeAreTheCity, speaker and author of Heels of Steel)

Did you know my book won the Highly Commended Short Business Book of the Year Award 2020?

A repetitive humble brag.

It's really poor. Trying too hard to be quirky and relatable. Comes across as forced. There's more talk about how successful she and her clients are in the world of business than any decent help or guidance. The audio book presents as a repetitive plug for her personal services with flat attempts to be funny. Tough listen.

Very disappointing - absolutely nothing useful

I honestly found absolutely nothing useful in this book. It delivers very little advice on actually overcoming glossophobia instead the majority of the book is the author bragging, telling pointless stories or delivering the earth shattering advice of "don't worry, it'll be fine". If you're hoping for actual strategies on overcoming a fear of public speaking, look elsewhere.
