Accelerated heartbeats, dry mouth, tightening of the jaw and sometimes even trembling legs - these are just some of the physical symptoms that accompany the stress and anxiety that comes with presenting a topic in front of an audience. …
Here is a lovely report sent this morning on our course's WhatsApp group. Of all the reports of success that the students shared, it stood out because it was a report of failure, but there was so much value in that failure that for me it teaches more than many successes. failure in battle…
This is the 12th year that we have conducted a public speaking course for the students of the leadership program of the Herzog Academic College of Education from the foundation of the Har-Etzion Yeshiva in Alon Shavuot. Since 2011, every year Guy Yariv conducts a theoretical and practical course for the third-year students at the college where they study...
Quarantine update: the corona data didn't really improve this week, maybe even the opposite, we are still in the same question marks as there were last week regarding the exit from the quarantine. just like you If the lockdown ends, we will try to start the courses as soon as possible. If the lockdown doesn't end - well, it's...
So how do we function during the quarantine period? We use it to do special things that we would never be able to do otherwise - and you are welcome. And in addition, we have special offers for courses after the lockdown. Because every closure has closure finders! So how do we prepare? Instead of sitting...
A few years ago, I gave training to senior executives of the communications giant Cisco ahead of a big conference. We were sitting in a typical, cool hi-tech meeting room, but off to the side was a strange system with a huge screen and several rotating cameras. I asked what this system does, and VP of Sales Aren Aral (today CEO of...
Let's bless the year together! Let's talk to a real audience (and not just on Zoom) let's not be afraid of an audience (and watch out for those at risk) let's say original things (not just radiant clichés) and may we all have a happy and blessed new year! …
So the holidays are approaching, and with them the new lockdown: it seems that there won't be many opportunities to speak in front of an audience soon... so how do we prepare? Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, we do lots and lots of online workshops at a reduced price. True, it's not exactly like the real thing, but it...
Like everyone, even a little more than everyone else, the corona virus affects us. For 13 years we have been helping people overcome their fear of crowds, and we have always explained that this anxiety is irrational. So how do we prepare? And here, a day has come when the fear of a large crowd is rational, and if you are in groups...
There is a dark spot in my past, which not everyone knows: before I opened the public speaking school, I founded an institute for market research and surveys that specialized in the ranking of universities and colleges. Now, for the elections. for the sake of…
Merat Per Cave in the Upper Galilee is (or maybe was) one of the most magical places in Israel. Every time it rained, a real miracle happened in the cave: the rainwater and snow that fell on the Adir Mountains and the branches of Mount Meron flowed into the Gap Valley, then into the cave and then... that's it. They just got swallowed up in the cave. …
We started with a new study that examines public fear in Israel. how many are there? Who suffers from it? How do they deal with it? We conduct the research in the form of a thorough in-depth questionnaire (over 120 items of information and questions) that we deliver to students across the country. In the meantime, we have already prepared…
Netanyahu received an attack from a very surprising source - AMBI, the organization of stutterers in Israel, criticized him fatally for insulting people with disabilities. Contrary to his elaborate reaction procedure, Netanyahu almost apologized for the joke. And the next day everyone will probably forget about it - except for those of us who sometimes face an audience...
The Likud made a very big story out of Gantz's little stutter. Then Blue-White made a bigger story than Bibi's joke about Gantz's little stutter. Netanyahu was attacked by a very surprising source - AMBI, the organization of those who stutter in Israel, which criticized him fatally for insulting people...

Exactly today in the evening, 51 years ago there was one of the most serious stutterings in the history of Israel. And don't say a long stutter. It was actually a small stutter. No more than 15 seconds. But a stutter that caused mass hysteria, the resignation of the defense minister, and the establishment of a new coalition. I am not kidding. And there is…
Two years ago I received this book as a gift from lovely course students in their last class. And this week I read the story "If women go out, they come to wonderful places" in the kindergarten of the heiress (yes, I know the book was translated into standard Hebrew, meaning for boys. But I have a daughter. And girls too...
Like Coca Cola, my courses also have a secret component. But unlike them I don't keep it a secret. on the contrary. And when people ask me what the 'secret ingredient' is in my courses, most of them think it's the techniques for speaking perfectly under pressure, and the rest guess it's the intense practice. …
Today I was interviewed by Channel 1 regarding Commissioner Elsheikh's speech yesterday, for which he was accused of racism against Ethiopians. My analysis, from listening to the entire speech (and not just the short segment that was broadcast), is that Alsheikh's words were indeed unfairly taken out of context. But I show in the interview that the Commissioner can...
Sorry for the glitch - thank you for your patience... as some of you have already seen this week, renovations have started at our office. As happens a lot with renovations, the schedules got complicated, and we are currently with a large classroom that had a re-flooring day, and a small classroom full of chairs that were in the classroom...
A politician being interviewed and saying nothing is not a new phenomenon. But it has grown to dimensions that warrant consideration. Here is an interesting interview I did after the kidnapping of the three boys that explains why politicians do it (because the interviewers and viewers impress them) and also how a good politician can avoid...
Using "Guy" for self-marketing When I was a student I ran a telemarketing center. Wait, wait, don't run away! I'm not proud of it either. After all, my employees disrupted 800 dinners every shift... But I have extenuating circumstances: I was young, And I was single, and since then I have recovered. I even became a fighter against telemarketing!…but the knowledge I acquired…
Being too good at ignoring the audience, so we've already explained in the past that it's cowardly, insulting, unprofessional and lowers the audience's attention. But there's another much simpler and much better reason not to ignore questions from the audience: because maybe you're doing it too well. Yes, yes, being...
Alternative treatments for fear of crowds No, I don't really think that chicken soup helps with fear of crowds. But there are people who try things that are no less 'creative', and it is worth once and for all to put order in the world of grandmother's remedies and alternative treatments for fear of crowds. In this article we will look at…
And how can he profit from blunders in front of a certain audience? You noticed that there are objects, people and institutions that collapse under pressure while others actually flourish in crisis situations. But is it possible to be anti-fragile even when standing in front of an audience? Is it possible to turn anxiety and disorders into a professional tool...
It is dangerous to be too good at ignoring the audience. We have already explained in the past that it is cowardly, insulting, unprofessional and lowers the audience's attention. But there is another much simpler and much better reason not to ignore questions from the audience: because you may be doing it too well. Yes Yes, …
Apologizing in front of an audience is never a pleasant thing, even for those who do not suffer from fear of audiences. Israeli politicians apologize a lot, but somehow never ask for forgiveness. In an interview with the Knesset channel, I analyze these 'probable apologies', and show how to do it right. Apology…
Presentations are a business notorious for the embarrassing mishaps that come with it. There is always a chance that the computer will freeze, the slide will jump, or some other annoying malfunction. But it doesn't have to be that way. In my course, the students discover that the list of possible faults is indeed long, but a checklist to prevent...
To learn public speaking, you need an audience. Obvious? You will be surprised. Those who contact us ask that we teach them to speak, or that we solve their fear of audiences in one-on-one meetings. It doesn't really work. Because: learning to speak in front of an audience without an audience is like learning to ride a bike...
