About the one-day Refresher Course

This Refresher Course is an excellent way to "tune-up" your skills to help you better manage your fear and anxiety related to speaking or performing. The Course is open to anyone who has either read Janet's In The SpotLight book and/or attended her Getting Over Stage Fright workshop. The focus of the Course will be to give you lots of hands-on practice applying the methods and strategies Janet teaches in a number of different planned and impromptu speaking exercises (or performing exercises if you are a performer). There will be approximately 8-12 participants in a Course and Janet will ensure a safe and supportive group environment in which to practice reinforcing these skills. Everyone will be supported and encouraged to do the most they are capable of doing, but no one will ever be "forced" to do anything they feel they cannot do.

The Refresher Course will help you to build more confidence in yourself when speaking or performing and support you in moving beyond the limitations of your fear. The focus of the Course will be to expose you to a number of different speaking or performing opportunities, while receiving the guidance of Janet's coaching and the support and feedback from the group. The objective of the Course is to help you desensitize further to the fearful feelings and avoidance behaviors and to build a stronger base of confidence, belief, and trust in yourself. This Course is also perfect for you if you have made a certain amount of progress in using the methods, and have slipped back into some old patterns or feel stalled in making further progress.

The Course is held at the The Heritage Inn in Southbury, CT (800-932-3466) on selected Saturdays throughout the year from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The cost is $150.00 (see Order Page) and there is a full money-back guarantee if you are not fully satisfied with your experience of the Course. Out-of state Refresher Courses are priced differently. See the Order Page for details.

Money-Back Guarantee: If you are not fully satisfied after attending the first half-day of the Refresher Course , you may receive a full refund of your tuition .  Please read our Cancellation Policy.
