“I presented my speech in front of about a 100 trained speakers and not one of them could give me a clue on how to make it better. They all said, ‘it’s perfect the way it is.’ In just two hours with Darren’s materials, my speech went from great to WOW! Those two hours were two hours of my life very well spent.”
Maybe you have publicly spoken numerous times before or it is your first time…but whatever your situation, you no longer have to feel sick with fear and over-whelming panic when you speak in front of a crowd…
You may have been asked to do a presentation… and you now feel the apprehension and adrenaline start to build…
You are going to be the ‘show’, so you need this public speaking opportunity to be the best it can be, otherwise your career and reputation could go right down the tubes… with hundreds of your peers watching!
And to make matters worse, you suffer massive panic attacks, uncontrollable anxiety…in fact, you’re terrified!
Because I’ve been there…I’ve been through it myself…and I have felt that high-voltage anxiety.
I have heard my heart pounding in my ears. I start pouring buckets of sweat just before going onto the stage…
…does this sound familiar when you’re making your way to the stage?
Hi, I’m Andrew Rondeau and there I was over 25 years ago, on the surface, my career appeared perfect. I had just been promoted to Junior Manager, my income was much higher than the average, and the company I was working for was going places.
But the stress of Management was just too much…especially my irrational and paralyzing fear of Public Speaking.
Because I couldn’t speak in public (I just dried up with fear), my reputation as a Manager was dreadful.
This was not what I was expecting. No matter how hard I tried to remove the fear, I just did not make any progress. It was like swimming in molasses. In fact, the fear actually stopped me writing the speech as well. I felt incompetent.
I knew there HAD to be a way, as other managers were making it look easy standing and presenting in front of large audiences, engaging with them, getting a few laughs, answering the awkward questions.
And what if my boss thought I wasn’t up to the job and I was demoted – I’d be back to where I started (and with less money!).
Then it just hit me…why don’t I just simply ask a co-worker for some advice.
I asked one of the best speakers in the department and the advice I received was no better than useless.
“Just get up there and do it", "no one will laugh if you make a mistake" and "tell some jokes" did not help at all (the laughing comment actually made things worse – I just pictured myself being laughed at by 100′s of people).
That was it, I thought I had made a big, big mistake – this Management career just wasn’t for me.
I really struggled, I lied awake at night worrying…locked in crazy-making, inner-conflict.
I wanted to do a good job (we all do, don’t we?) and was keen to fathom what “Public Speaking” was all about because I was getting used to the excellent income – that’s one thing I didn’t want to give up.
But rather let the situation to get the better of me, I knew I had to do something about it myself.

“Andrew Rondeau is an incredible resource for anyone who wants to quickly rise to the top of their career.”
So, I became a self-help junkie – reading Public Speaking self-help books, listening to self-help audios whilst commuting to and from work…plus attending courses facilitated by NLP experts.
I was infused with fresh enthusiasm…and my boundless energy was back.
But looking back, now, it’s stunningly easy. Once you know and use proven techniques, the transformation is immediate and amazing.
I know how it feels to experience that fear of public humiliation, the tightness that you feel on the inside when you just don’t know what to do and your boss is watching your every move (or so it felt).
I shudder to think where I would be now if I had not made the decision to change my approach and discover the proven techniques of Public Speaking.

So, I wanted to put together a special and unique Public Speaking product.
Because I see many individuals being held back from having a great career or just getting on in life (like I was) because they don’t have good Public Speaking skills.
When I started to put together this Public Speaking product I wanted someone who was even more experienced than myself to be on board as well.
So I carried out extensive research on expert Public Speakers. I studied their videos, I purchased their products, I spoke to them and I found the best of the best – none other than the Public Speaking World Champion, Darren LaCroix.
