Presence/The Second Circle
Everyone has known the feeling of being present. Babies and toddlers live there almost constantly. Great performers work in this state. Great athletes win in it. Great teachers teach in it. Every great communicator speaks from this place. It is when fully present that we do our best work and make our deepest impression on others. In her years as an acting coach, Patsy Rodenburg has discovered the secrets to that elusive quality actors call 'it'. There are three basic ways human energy moves between people and you can be in any one of the 'three circles' in any situation. In the first, your focus is purely inward, in the third, all your energy is moving outward. In the second you are focused, you give energy out and you receive it. You communicate spontaneously and listen well, you are generous and people are generous in return. And by working on your breath, posture, voice, language, listening skills, focus, courage and trust you can access the second circle on a daily basis. Your work, relationships, spirituality and passions will all benefit.

After considering what we already have in our library and what our demands are at present, we've concluded not to summarize your suggestion. Sometimes we have to turn down even very good recommendations because the titles don't quite fit into any of our library's categories, because the topic has been extensively covered by other titles already, because the suggested content is too old (we focus on new releases), or because we are unable to summarize this content due to legal restrictions. Please understand that we can’t reply to every suggestion individually, but rest assured that we examine them all diligently.
