DURATION: one-hour briefing; or half-day to full-day workshop (Content depth and scope will be adjusted to accommodate amount of presentation time allocated by the client).
DESCRIPTION: Most of us are chicken of something. Maybe it's fear of looking silly, incompetent, or disorganized. Could it be fear of losing ... or maybe it's fear of winning, and then what? Perhaps it's stage fright of speaking in public. Whatever your fear, it may be affecting your ability to do great presentations and may be stopping you from reaching your full potential. In this insightful and reflective session, Marion Grobb Finkelstein shares strategies from the "Facing the Chicken Within" chapter she co-authored with her sister and fellow professional speaker, Joan Grobb Augustino www.coreperformancegroup.com.

EXCERPT (from "Facing the Chicken Within" chapter co-authored by Marion Grobb Finkelstein and Joan Grobb Augustino, as featured in Expert Women Who Speak Speak Out!): "Feeling fear can mean that you are heading to the edge of your personal comfort zone... It is here, 'on the edge', that ordinary people can become extraordinary."
