In this inspiring episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel welcomes Lee Glickstein, founder of Speaking Circles International®, acclaimed public speaking mentor, and recipient of the Athena Award for Excellence in Coaching and Mentoring. Lee is the author of the well-known book Be Heard Now! End Your Fear of Public Speaking Forever, and in this interview, he introduces his powerful new book, Be Seen Now!.
Lee shares how his early life was shaped by shyness and a feeling of not belonging—an experience Betsy could relate to. Together, they explore the universal human need to be seen and heard. Lee emphasizes that true public speaking isn’t about performance—it’s about connection.
Some key insights from the episode and Lee’s book include:
-
“Find your friend in the mirror” – Lee encourages starting each day with a smile in the mirror and greeting yourself with “Hello, friend.”
-
Relational Presence – The power of being fully present, whether in personal relationships or speaking to a crowd. Lee shares techniques such as maintaining a soft, steady gaze and “listening with your eyes.”
-
Audience Connection – Successful public speaking comes from showing interest in your audience—letting them know you’re truly with them.
