“Good morning Anne, the purpose of this session is to help you create a new, more productive behaviour, by rehearsing this desired behaviour a number of times in your mind.
So, Anne, can you tell me what would be a new behaviour that you would like to have?”
“I would like to be able to speak confidently and eloquently in front of a large audience.”
“Yes Anne, you are right that public speaking is an important life skill that anyone would like to have.

When was the last time you had to speak in front of a large audience?”
“It was just last Sunday.”
“Where were you? Who were in the audience?”

“How did the speech went?”
“I was a nervous wreck and could hardly remember anything that I wanted to say. It was so embarrassing.”
