Expand Your Presence, Speaking Circles®

Imagine standing in front of your audience, feeling absolutely at ease and enjoying their full attention. Do you
suffer from stage fright or simply want to speak with more authenticity and impact? Learn how to fully engage
your listeners. Discover and use your natural capacity for Relational Presence.

Expand your personal and professional presence, speak and listen with ease, authenticity, and power with
Speaking Circles Training.

Relational Presence means being receptive to another person without agenda or effort. It means that you are
inviting connection rather than trying to connect. This way of speaking calls for truly being and speaking with one
person at a time. Developing this capacity with Speaking Circles is like building a muscle at the gym. It is a potent
exercise that helps you get over any speaking anxiety and allows you to reach hearts, minds and souls from a
natural place of ease and power.

The 2 day training is based on Speaking Circles. This approach transforms the way people communicate by
focusing on the essential first step - the connection between speaker and listeners.

You will develop your capacity to speak with clarity, presence and impact. Our relationship-based approach
provides a supportive listening environment where you explore and discover how to express yourself confidently
and naturally in your own unique style. Relational Presence is the foundation of Speaking Circles. Discover how
people learn to listen to each other at an essential level through this elegantly simple process.

In this training program you can also learn how to use Relational Presence in specific situations, such as how to
develop a compelling authentic talk and communicate one-on-one with presence, ease and flow.


About Speaking Circles®

This deceivingly simple yet powerful formula of Speaking Circles; was developed in 1989 by Lee Glickstein,
Founder and President of Speaking Circles International and author of “Be heard Now!”. He added his knowledge
of the healing power of groups to his fear of public speaking. Out of this alchemy a kind of magic was born. Since
then this transforming concept was not only introduced in the USA but in different countries all over the world
(e.g. UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand).

Speaking Circles was introduced to the Netherlands in 1999. Jennet Burghard and Koos Wolcken have trained
hundreds of people in Speaking Circles; and applied SC-programs. They are both Certified Speaking Circles
Facilitators and Trainer and Training Director Europe of SC International.
