About

Learn how to communicate inside and out with calm, confidence, and self-love no matter the circumstances.

Presenters and performers aren't the only ones who need calm and confidence in their everyday lives. After all, confidence is the fuel that drives us toward our ambitions, and calm eases the way. And when the two states combine, they form a magical and powerful combination.

After years of struggling with communication in school, business, and public, Patricia Stark achieved this state of "Calmfidence" not through some single moment of revelation but through years of small insights, "aha" moments, and constant practice. Today, after helping thousands of students and clients find their own voices and abilities, Stark makes her methods available in “Calmfidence”, a comprehensive guide to improving communication skills in any social interaction.

“Calmfidence” gathers a unique set of mental tools and experiential practices for quelling the self-sabotaging habits of the Inner Critic. With warmth and compassion, Stark guides you in how to identify and overcome your blockages to communication, how to react skillfully to strong emotions as they arise, and how to deal with setbacks in your Calmfidence journey without self-judgment.

Here you will learn:

• "Calmfidence boosters"-practices for shoring up your ease and resilience on the spot and in the moment

• Positive daily habits to avoid burnout, exhaustion, and other drains on your Calmfidence

• How to soothe negative inner beliefs around age, body type, unrealistic expectations, and more

• The dos and don'ts of healthy, engaged eye contact

• Why mindfulness of facial expressions and body language is imperative for effective communication

• How to sidestep and eventually erase any fear of public speaking

• Common verbal tics that disrupt public speaking, and how to wean yourself away from them

• Advanced tips for transforming public speaking engagements into memorable, inspiring occasions

• Interview Calmfidence: how to navigate and eventually master one of the most nerve-wracking social exchanges

• Natural, non-intoxicating remedies for soothing ambient stress and restoring balance

You don't need some rare talent to communicate well. When you engage with the exercises and encouragement in “Calmfidence”, you'll learn how to stop surrendering to fear and become the calm and confident communicator who has always been waiting within.
