Speaking Circles is about overcoming fear of Public Speaking and to my mind about overcoming our fear of being in the presence of other people. But after the Speaking Circles training, there was no holding any of us back, we loved being seen and heard for the unique beings that we are and felt renewed and invigorated to go out into the world and to connect fully and authentically with our fellow human beings. I can only talk from my experience but in conversation after the Speaking Circes training, we all felt a change at a very deep personal level.
