About Janet's Book

"Your book has been a life-saver! Before I found your book, I was feeling pretty hopeless and desperate and was so tired of being sick to my stomach all the time. Now I feel that this is definitely something that can be overcome and I feel there’s a safety net if I get stuck! Your book and your work are awesome and I can’t thank you enough!" Susan

" Thank you so much for writing your book.  It has helped me immensely! Your book has really changed my outlook on myself, on my career, and has truly changed my outlook on life and how to approach it.  I have purchased the book for several people who I know have public speaking anxiety issues and would recommend this book to anyone who suffers from the same fears that I do. " Keith

" This book is a well written, easy to read guide to overcoming fear of public speaking. You really get the sense that the author is truly committed to your success. Everything is explained thoroughly and broken down so it's easy to follow and understand. My thanks to the author. "  Steve

" The day I received your book in the mail, I was asked to speak on a panel to about 35 people about a topic related to my work.  I was panicked!!  I got about half-way through your book over the weekend and practiced some of the techniques you suggested.  They worked really well!!  I wasn't nearly as anxious as usual.  I didn't have the fight or flight feelings that normally come when I have to speak in front of groups.  It was more of a "normal" nervousness, one that is easily dealt with, not noticeable to others and gone within a few seconds of speaking. Thanks for writing such a great book! "  Marian

" I am a successful 44 year old male.  I am the VP & Treasurer of a $2.4 billion organization.  I have battled the problem of giving speeches and presentations since a full blown episode in 1994.  I have read a lot of books since that time and attended some Toastmasters sessions but nothing has resonated for me as much as your book. "  Bill

" Just got your book yesterday and have been reading it.  It gives me comfort and hope for I am currently at the crossroads of trying to beat these dreadful panic attacks.  Thank You for writing the book.  I'm glad you wrote it in laymans terms also.  I see myself in so many of these situations that I feel it was almost written for me personally.  I'm about halfway through and plan to read it over and over !"  David

" I went from absolute dread at the prospect of speaking in public to actually VOLUNTEERING!  Janet's book provided me with the tools and behavior modifications to overcome this self-limiting, career-crippling fear. "  Jane

" I've read a fair number of books on social phobia, shyness and so on, and yours is, in my opinion, the best of the bunch. Not only is it the only one that nails the bulls eye on this specific fear, but it's also a joy to read - conversational, yet authoritative; concise, yet comprehensive. "  Dave
