Customer Reviews

A great book. Buy it if you speak.
I bought this book because of an article I read about a year ago. When I first started reading it, I thought, "Eh. I know this already." But as I continued to read, the power of the book opened up for me.

Mr. Glickstein's numerous examples and excellent choice of chapter topics led me to want to create and be a part of a Speaking Circle. In fact, I went so far as to contact him to find out about training opportunities.

My experiences in other stuctured group settings in which one's wonderful human qualities are affirmed have given me enough evidence to trust that Speaking Circles can do what they purport to do. Be Heard Now is the key to the door of your true voice.

I heartily recommend this book to you if you wish to learn how to "come home" to yourself as you speak. It is an easy, but oh-so-powerful, book to read. By recommendation of other individuals, I have also just purchased the companion tape; I hear it dovetails well with the book.

It's Not Rocket Science - But It Sure Helped Me!
This is a great book. It took a little time for the idea to sink in - be yourself, make real contact with the audience and speak from the heart. I have always had an innate fear of speaking, despite everyone else telling me how confident I am. So this month (May, 2004), I've got onto the horse and ridden into the sunset of public speaking for the first time. I'd had the book for a while without reading it fully (like a few others - thanks Amazon!), but as the time drew nearer for the engagement I'd booked to get me going, I was in a bit of a panic - so I read Lee Glickstein's book. Last Wednesday, I spoke confidently, in the flow, with a rapt audience (of seven!) for 40 minutes, without any notes, using the 4-step principle that the book demonstrates. Whilst it wasn't that easy - it wasn't that hard either. So, if I can do it, so can you. I'm ready for more now - anyone want a UK speaker? From mh@fasttrackdevelopment.co.uk
