Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking with ZPoint

Many people fear public speaking and it’s been said that often, people fear public speaking more than death itself. Below are the top 10 fears of Americans according to a February 2001 Gallop Poll of 1,016 respondents.

1. Snakes – 51%
2. Speaking in public – 40%
3. Heights – 36%
4. Being closed in a small space – 34%
5. Spiders and insects – 27%
6. Needles and getting shots – 21%
7. Mice – 20%
8. Flying on a plane – 18%
9. Dogs – 11%
10. Thunder and lightning – 11%

Say, maybe that’s why the movie, “Snakes on a Plane” made for such a great horror movie – LOL!

There have been many books written and courses developed to help people overcome this fear. Practicing can often help people to become successful at public speaking and so many people choose to join organizations such as Toastmasters.

ZPoint is also very effective at helping people overcome public speaking fears. Last week, my ten year old son had to do a school presentation on Medieval Monks. The morning of the presentation, he expressed that he felt anxious about presenting to his class. I had taken him through the ZPoint process before and so I suggested he repeat his “cue word” silently to himself several times while he focuses on his nervousness before he does his presentation. Then, I suggested that once he gets in front of the classroom, he could always try picturing everyone in the underwear which of course made him laugh.

ZPoint is a remarkable process that works at a very deep level of the subconscious mind. The process uses a cue word and when you repeat your cue word like a mantra after the practitioner repeats various statements, you release deeper and deeper layers of upset and eventually peel away all the layers of the “onion” of anxiety.

The end of the school day arrived and as I was walking home from the bus with my son, I asked him how his presentation went. He said, “Mum, I did what you said, I repeated my cue word before I had to get up in front of the class and I felt fine when I got up there. I didn’t feel nervous at all and didn’t even have to picture anyone in their underwear! And, everyone liked my presentation, even my teacher.”

I love how quickly and effectively energy techniques work with children. If only I knew about this stuff when I was his age.
