(PRWEB) September 8, 2004 -- Harrison Monarth, President of GuruMaker School of Professional Speaking, a Denver-based company that coaches executives, professionals and entrepreneurs in the art and science of communicating effectively, announced today that his firm added Anxiety Specialist Larina Kase, PsyD, MBA, of the University of Pennsylvania to its highly select team of coaches and trainers.

"We are privileged to have Dr. Kase join our team. With public speaking ranking as one of people's biggest fears, even before death, we wanted to have an expert on the team that has a proven track record in treating severe anxieties," says Monarth. "We want to help our clients overcome any issues with anxiety first, before we coach them in the skills of speech and persuasion."

In the cut-throat environment of today's business world, sound speaking skills and the ability to excel in "pressure cooker" situations are key factors for success. Many people have extensive knowledge on any number of subjects, but find it difficult to present this knowledge coherently and persuasively.

The fear and anxiety associated with speaking in public, keeps many people from exploring the benefits that come with expressing thoughts and ideas clearly to others. "Our typical client is well educated, successful in their chosen profession, and ambitious to get to the next level," says Monarth. "However, many of them eventually find that in order to head major projects, lead a team or get into the corner office, they have to deal with the apprehension that comes with speaking to groups of clients and peers, and improve their communication skills dramatically."

According to Larry Tracy, one of the coaches of GuruMaker, "Fear and anxiety must be addressed first; otherwise there can't be any fertile ground for the successful learning of new skills and techniques, so we are looking forward to the contributions Dr. Kase can make to the professional development of our clients."
