After earning a degree in
Sociology in the 1960’s Doreen's life path took her to
Malaysia as a Peace Corps volunteer. She saw that at the
core of social problems were communication and relationship
issues. She returned to get a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology
from the University of California, Berkeley and began her
private practice in the 1980’s.
Although she was working to
help others overcome their fears, she admits that she had a
hidden terror of her own. She was afraid to speak in public.
This personal challenge led her to Speaking Circles where
she found the opportunity to finally face and transform
anxiety and discovered the inner strength that now compels her to
teach others how to dissolve stage fright forever. Doreen's
calling is to facilitate personal and professional
transformation and to help people recover their vibrant
inner spirit and speak without fear. |
