Speaking Circles®

Growing in Japan

The Speaking Circles method arrived in Japan in 2005, when I became the first certified Speaking Circles facilitator in Japan.

Ever since meeting Speaking Circles, I've been hooked on the magical sense of pleasure and connection that the practice of Relational Presence lets me experience in front of groups, in my personal relationships, and as a coach.

It is now part of my life's work to give root to Speaking Circles and Relational Presence in Japan, as well as to spread the work to other countries in Asia.

Over the years, I've held countless Circles, and witnessed over and over again the profound ability of Relational Presence to touch and transform people. 

Then There Were Three...

Two of those people became Japan's next certified facilitators. That's Helen Fujimoto on the left and Takahiro Kurata in the middle, in the picture with me. 

The three of us are pooling our time, creativity, and commitment to build a community of certified Speaking Circles facilitators here in Japan. 

And, of course, we're here to support you. 

In English or Japanese. In West Tokyo and Shonan. In person and online.

You can find Helen and Taka at speakingcircles.com. 

You can see an overview of my courses here.

A Worldwide Family

Lee Glickstein founded Speaking Circles International in 1989 in the United States. The simple but elegant approach that Lee discovered to help people release their fear of being the center of attention in front of groups grew out of Lee's search for a cure to his own stage fright.

Today, Speaking Circles facilitators hail from multiple countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Through them, countless people far and wide have experienced the confidence-giving power of Relational Presence as practiced at a Speaking Circle.

Browse the Relational Presence Facilitator Directory or speakingcircles.com to find a facilitator near you outside of Japan.

To the Future in Japan...

I'm actively imagining the day in Japan when Speaking Circles and Relational Presence are household words. Already, the Speaking Circles family in Japan is growing.

You can join the Speaking Circles family by participating in workshops or by becoming a facilitator. It would be my pleasure to welcome you.

Regular attendance at workshops will give you:

  • Confidence and poise in front of groups

  • Free expression of your True Voice

  • Deeper, more authentic connection with others

Facilitator training will give you:

  • An expanded capacity for presence

  • More ability to create rapport while imparting information

  • A sense of how to "hold a room" while managing your inner state

For a schedule of Speaking Circles and Relational Presence events in Japan, see my calendar. 

Facilitator training is held annually in the United States and Europe. Visit Speaking Circles International for a full description of facilitator training and the schedule.

For information about facilitator training in Japan, or if you have any other questions, get in touch with me. 

Rather than teaching presentation techniques, a Speaking Circle® lets you develop your Relational Presence muscle, so that you can speak in public without fear.

MetaFocus

Pam’s quality of presence and the depth of care and professional skill in creating a loving and safe space is second to none. She elicits rather than tells, models rather than lectures, and supports each person . . .

Ken Burton

At Speaking Circles,® I don’t feel stressed. I can just relax and let words flow, without any preparation. I can be myself. Through Pam’s Circles, I learned to feel my pure connection with other human beings.
