Speak from Presence, Not Performance

“I used to torture myself leading up to a talk. Now I feel confident I’ll deliver whatever I’m meant to share, and that feels like freedom.”
You Know What You Want to Say, But Fear Takes Over
- You hold back, rush your words, or disconnect from yourself and are left with a sense of regret that you didn’t speak up.
- You avoid the spotlight because you cannot control the way your heart races, your throat tightens, and your voice quivers.
- You want to get rid of your fear and be free to express yourself without hesitation at work, with friends, and in your daily life.
Why Performance-Based Speaking Advice Falls Short
Most speaking advice focuses on performance and techniques such as good eye contact, power poses, and vocal variety.
Deep confidence when you express yourself does not come from rehearsing scripts or trying harder. It comes from learning how to be fully present inside yourself first so your energy radiates from your own inner strength.
That is why the 7-Step Guide to Fearless Speaking focuses on your inner voice rather than outward projection.
When you are calm, grounded, and centered, speaking becomes an embodied experience that feels authentic and natural.
“I had a meeting at work and actually raised my hand to ask questions and was not afraid. I have never done that. I always stayed in the background. It felt liberating to be free.”
When confidence comes from the inside out, you can:
Share your opinion
Speak on a stage
Inspire your clients
Promote a business
Launch your book
Inside the Free 7-Step Guide, you will learn how to:
- Calm your nerves in under a minute so your body relaxes and your voice stays clear and strong.
- Anchor your attention in the present moment so your mind does not spiral into self-doubt or mental noise.
- Stay grounded when all eyes are on you so being seen feels manageable instead of threatening.
- Trust yourself to speak honestly and spontaneously, even without a script or endless rehearsals.
Meet Your Guide
I’m Dr. Doreen Downing, a Clinical Psychologist and Fearless Speaking Mentor with decades of experience.
I support clients to express who they truly are by working at deeper, more mindful levels of awareness, presence, and authenticity.
I know firsthand how it feels to hide behind a professional degree and still feel insecure about speaking up in public.
That is why I went to great lengths to create an alternative approach that heals the voice wounded earlier in life.
My unique and proven Find Your Voice programs welcome you to speak up and be recognized, respected, and remembered.
“It doesn’t take long to see why working with Doreen is transformative. Traditional public speaking courses often teach superficial tactics to gain confidence, but Doreen lays out a grounded framework that genuinely changes your relationship with fear itself.”
“I’ve tried hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, beta blockers, meditation, avoidance, memorization and much more. None of that helped. With Doreen’s help, I can now face an audience and speak authentically today, tomorrow, and into the future.”
“Presentations and workshops are critical to market myself. Before Dr. Doreen Downing’s trainings, the thought of it would leave my mouth dry, heart pounding, and wanting to cancel. Now, I can calmly show up as my best self and share my gifts with a true confidence.”
