overcoming fear in public speaking

"I had only skimmed through my PowerPoint review with Lily, but I have to say, my conversation with her gave me excellent new insights on how to make my PowerPoint not compete with me as speaker, but to support and strengthen my educational message for my clients. I travel around the country and give educational presentations on best practices for number organizations in the dental industry. While business is picking up, I still create my own PowerPoint presentations. Having a call with Lily and keeping her ebook on hand as a reference guide as I design and edit my slides is already making my presentations stronger and more effective than ever.

“We had the pleasure of inviting Lily of Fearless Delivery to our Professional Organizers in Canada Halton-Peel Chapter meeting. Lily is a friendly and welcoming person. Her gentle manner is well suited to instilling self -confidence in even the unsure public speaker. The information was clearly presented, concise, easy to follow and useful for anyone to use when making any type of presentation. We found Lily to be a very dynamic speaker. She was very warm and personable and the audience could relate to her down to earth manner. She really helped us. One of our members did have a presentation soon after and our member kept Lily’s top 5 tips for successful presentations in mind and she ended up doing well! ‘Thanks Lily I could not have done it without you!’ We hope to have Lily return to speak to us again.” ~Wendy Hollick, Chair, Halton-Peel Chapter, Professional Organizers in Canada

“Lily Iatridis is an expert speaker in the field of communication, organization and public speaking. Her presentation to the Women’s Business Center members in both Manchester, NH and Portsmouth, NH was both informational, and educational, as well as lively and entertaining. Lily’s streamlined approach to presenting yourself, your company, your product or your service was practical, and her recommended outline for success, easy to follow. We highly recommend, Lily, if you are looking to take your company or your self to the next level!” ~ Lois Matheson, Business Counselor and Programs Manager,Women’s Business Center, Portsmouth, NH

“The marketing staff at my law firm has engaged different communications experts from time to time to help us with skills like the 30-second elevator pitch. Most of these “experts” made the task seem so unpleasant that the idea of taking the stairs began to look awfully good! In this discussion, Lily offered some concrete ways to drill down to the essence of a good 30-second elevator pitch, making it easier to present and more interesting to hear. I am confident that her good advice will help me to direct, produce and star in my own effective elevator commercial.” ~ Pamela J. Knauer of Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla, P.C.

“[My partner] and I did a corporate workshop yesterday on De-Cluttering and we used your methods. Objectives and say-do. It went really well, and we both happy at the end — there was a lot of really great feedback. We were able to put together the whole thing in a short period of time, on a topic outside of our comfort zone, and pull it off professionally. Cheers, Scott. ”

“[In her workshop] Lily went over how to talk about other products and services during your [own] workshop. She rightly emphasized the need to point out the benefits to the listener, and I liked that she stressed conveying “the cost of NOT working with you.” And given the number of hangups we got at the end of one of our preview calls awhile back, her advice to promote throughout the presentation, instead of saving it for the end, made total sense.”

“Being very uncomfortable with public speaking, I found myself feeling a lot more clear and confident on how to tackle the design of my own 1-minute video commercial after Lily’s workshop on the subject. Her clear breakdown of the process and step-by-step instructions made the project seem simple and easy. Now, instead of dread, I’m looking forward to being filmed and seeing my video on the internet!”

“Lily is a treat…her coaching style made me comfortable immediately! She quickly grasped my situation and developed resolutions with empathy, understanding, and importantly, interest. I appreciated that her methods helped guide me to my own logical conclusions, as opposed to imposing her idea of what I should do. Lily is a real pro.”
~ Janet Bloomberg, Architect

“Lily helped guide me through the process of starting a new business with my partner. She listened to my fears and ambitions and guided me in shaping my plan for a successful enterprise. She is a strong, skilled listener who empathizes and encourages, without judgment. She gives good ideas and encourages you to find your own path. She has been great!”
