What if the fear of public speaking could be transformed into the power to perform?
 
For many people, speaking in front of others creates anxiety, self doubt and a physical reaction that can feel impossible to control. Most public speaking programmes teach you how to structure and deliver a speech, but few address the fear that prevents you from speaking with confidence in the first place.
 
The Butterfly Phenomenon takes you beneath the surface of glossophobia and reveals why the fear occurs, how it affects your performance and, most importantly, what you can do about it.
 
Drawing on decades of experience as a speaker, author and coach, Peter Chatteris provides practical principles to help you understand your anxiety, change your response to it and use that energy to create power. These are not ideas to simply read and forget. They are techniques to study, practise and put into action.
 
Whether you speak in meetings, present to clients, lead a team or step onto a stage, this book will help you replace fear with confidence, communicate your message clearly and become the speaker you know you can be.
