About Janet Esposito
Janet E. Esposito is the President of in the SpotLight, LLC, a company devoted to helping people overcome their fear of public speaking and performing. She speaks from first-hand experience as she has overcome her own terror of speaking in front of groups and now experiences a level of comfort and confidence she never thought possible. Janet has helped hundreds of people who suffer from performance anxiety through her compassion, inspiration, and profound understanding of the problem and the solution. Her mission is to reach as many people as possible to help them overcome this limiting, and often debilitating fear. Even those who have mild to moderate levels of public speaking and performing anxiety have found Janet's methods helpful.
Fear of public speaking has been reported to be the number one fear of American adults, with many people suffering because of it. This fear takes a huge toll on peoples' effectiveness in the workplace as it stops them from fully expressing their ideas in meetings and other settings requiring speaking in front of groups. This fear afflicts not only the timid but also those who are otherwise seen as outgoing and highly capable. Many professional people report engaging in avoidance tactics to avoid speaking in group situations or they are less effective when they do speak. Many have given up professional opportunities for advancement to avoid facing their fear of being asked to do more speaking or performing. There is clearly much lost potential due to this fear.
The methods Janet teaches are specifically designed to help people reduce and manage their fear more effectively in all situations that require speaking or performing in front of others. Janet has authored a book on this subject, entitled, In The SpotLight: Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking and Performing, and has also created a supplemental CD, called In The SpotLight: Guided Exercises to Create a Calm and Confident State of Mind, Body and Spirit While Speaking or Performing, to help put some of her methods into practice. She offers two day weekend No More Stage Fright Workshops and individual phone or in-office consultations and coaching.
Janet's work has been featured in The CT Business Magazine, CT Post, The Danbury/Housatonic Business Digest, The Danbury News Times, The Waterbury Republican-American, The New Milford Times, The Litchfield Times, and The Physicians' Financial News. She has been interviewed by America West, McCalls, Glamour, Marie Claire, Seventeen and First Women magazines. Janet has also been featured on several radio and television networks, including The Sally Jessy Raphael Show, Star 99.9, ESBN, WDIS, WPAT, WINE, WODI, Fox 61, News 12-The Exchange, Women in Business, and Issues and Answers.
