The Most Elusive Riddle...
(that, once solved, will unlock enormous wealth)

• What did Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan, all have in common?(Hint, the answer has nothing to do with being persecuted for your beliefs/politics.)
• What did Moses, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Budah, and Brigham Young all have in common? (Hint, it has nothing to do with religion.)
• What do Zig Zigler, Anthony Robbins, Les Brown, Brian Tracy, and Dale Carnegie all have in common? (If you know the profession of these people, you're probably on the right track.)
• Chances are ALL of these people have one thing in common with the last person who knew less about your job than you but got promoted over you anyway, or a number of the executives within your company, or the most successful person who you know personally...

... ALL of these people used SPEECH to Influence Massive Numbers of People. The secret that ALL of these people uncovered (that eludes 95% of the population) is how to stand on their feet and command attention when they speak in front of groups. When these people communicated their ideas, they commanded attention!

*** IMPORTANT: Our peers judge our COMPETENCE by how CONFIDENT we are when we stand up to speak. Self-Confident People who communicate well (1) Make Higher Incomes, (2) Get Promoted Faster, and (3) Are More Highly Esteemed by Their Peers than people who show less self-confidence when they present. ***

Public Speaking Advice, You Might
Relate to Some of These Tips. What do
They All have in Common?

...They Don't Work!

Just about everything that you have ever learned about public speaking is wrong! Most of the tips that good intentioned coworkers and mentors give us actually make presenting much more complicated and difficult to deliver and actually distances you from your audience. Here are a few of the gems that actually make presenters worse...

• They say to slow down and anunciate your words. We show you that speed adds energy and enthusiasm to your topic.
• They count your "hums". We show you that this is just a symptom of nervousness. Eliminate the nervousness and the "uhms" go away.
• They say that some public speaking topics are just more boring than others. We show you that there are no boring topics... Only boring speakers -- but you don't have to be one of them.
• They say to look over people's heads to hide your fear. We show you how to confidently look your audience IN THE EYES with no fear.
• They have you put all of your data on your slides so that you don't forget anything. We show how you can confidently deliver your entire presentation without ANY NOTES at all.
• They tell you to hand out your slides as notes -- People really like that. We show you that people really hate that. If your slides can deliver your presentation without you... What do we need you for?
• They tell you to put down all your thoughts, then cut out whatever doesn't fit your time frame. We show you that this technique can take hours or days and result in a Swiss Cheese presentation. (We show you how to design your presentations in 1/10th the time.
• The tell you to practice, practice, practice. The more you practice, the better that you get. We show you that the more that you practice, them more nervous that you make yourself.
• They say to picture your audience naked... Really? Is that supposed to make you less nervous? Really?! We just suggest that you not do that.
• They have you memorize your talk. We show you that this technique is the single biggest reason that 95% of the population has public speaking fear.

Their tips and techniques make people nervous and boring. The public speaking tips and techniques presented in the FEARLESS PRESENTATIONS PUBLIC SPEAKING BOOTCAMP® will help you become a poised and confident presenter -- FAST!

If you've ever used any of THEIR techniques because you were nervous or to better prepare for a presentation, then this class is for you. If you just do the OPPOSITE of what they tell you to do, you'll increase your self-confidence and reduce your fear and anxiety of public speaking. You'll also cut your preparation and design time to just a fraction. If you replace THEIR techniques with time-tested skill sets from our team of certified public speaking instructors, you'll move yourself to the top of your industry very quickly.

Doug Staneart is a true rags to riches story. He grew up in the town of Palarm, Arkansas (Population 200) and was the first person in his family to attend college. Doug walked on as an NCAA athlete to play college football for Texas Tech University, and his work ethic helped him become a very popular leader among his teammates. Doug ended up earning a scholarship and graduating with honors.

After a few years working in corporate America for Atlantic-Richfield, Doug spent eight years as a trainer and a salesperson for some of the largest and most successful training companies in the world before founding The Leader’s Institute® in 2002. He is the author of the best-selling books Fearless Presentations and 28 Ways to Influence People and Gain “Buy-In”. Since December of 2002, when Doug invented the High Impact Leaders™ leadership class, he has trained over 2000 of the world’s future and current leaders. He’s helped over 12,000 people eliminate their fear of public speaking since 2003 when he invented the Fearless Presentations® public speaking class.

Doug used his presentation skills to build a multi-million dollar income from speaking and training allowing his students to tap into their untapped potential through public speaking. His greatest success, however, has been to work hard enough to allow his wife, Laoise, to be a full-time mom to their two kids, Colleen and Benjamin. His career allows him to be a full-time dad as well.

Doug has spoken to over 100,000 people in his career and has been a mentor to and friends with famous speakers, politicians, actors, Hollywood directors, military leaders, and business executives.
