From stage fright to fearlessness, new book presents a paradigm-shifting approach to public speaking
SAN FRANCISCO — Be Seen Now! Inspiring Insights into Being a Fearless Speaker is the latest transformative work by Lee Glickstein, founder of Speaking Circles International.
With decades of experience and innovation, Glickstein presents a fresh, profoundly human approach to public speaking, one that transforms anxiety and stage fright into opportunities for authentic connection, relational presence, and genuine transformation.
Lee Glickstein’s methodology, developed through years of teaching and personal experience, challenges the traditional paradigms of public speaking, which often rely on techniques, tricks, and performance-driven tactics. Instead, Be Seen Now! focuses on fostering connection, presence, and authenticity. Through this groundbreaking book, readers will discover the core principles of relational presence — an innovative, heart- centered approach that emphasizes being fully present and listening deeply to the audience.
“Public speaking is not about delivering a performance; it’s about building relationships, one person at a time,” says Glickstein. “When you create an environment of mutual trust and authenticity, speaking becomes less about fear and more about the human connection.”
Be Seen Now! introduces readers to a paradigm-shifting model of communication. At its heart are the seven elements of relational presence: Listening, Gaze, Stillness, Breath, Belonging, Silence, and Connection.
These principles are backed by scientific research on neuroplasticity, which demonstrates how new, positive associations with public speaking can rewire the brain, replacing fear with confidence and joy. The book is packed with practical exercises and real-life examples to guide readers on this transformative journey.
“This book is a treasure; each chapter continues the process of unfoldment. It’s about personal transformation as much as it is about speaking,” says Janice Campbell, author of Practical Wisdom for Everyday Spirituality.
“Be Seen Now! is a must-read for anyone seeking to elevate their communication and leadership skills by breaking free from public speaking anxiety and truly connecting with their audiences,” adds Kathleen Gage, author of Power Up for Profits.
Be Seen Now! is available in paperback and eBook formats. Whether you are a beginner seeking to overcome stage fright or a seasoned professional aiming to enhance your magnetism with audiences, this book is an invaluable resource for taking your public speaking skills to the next level.
