For those struggling with stage fright
Sally Kanemitsu
Company Head
Thank you for accessing this page. I’m Sally Kanemitsu, a specialist in overcoming stage fright using brain-based methods. I tried traditional methods, such as speech and breathing exercises, and even pushed myself through numerous public speaking opportunities, but my stage fright only got worse.
Then, one day, I received a speaking request that I simply couldn’t refuse. This became the turning point in my journey. Determined to overcome my fear, I discovered a brain-based approach, and everything changed—I conquered my fear.
My goal is to help you enjoy your daily life without dreading sudden speeches, presentations, or introducing yourself to others. I have come to realize that not only in Japan but all around the world, people are making their stage fright worse by relying on misguided traditional methods. If you understand the mechanism of the brain and use it well, you can overcome stage fright. Using Sally’s method, let’s change your life to a brighter and chance-filled one!
Biography
Sally Kanemitsu struggled with extreme stage fright for many years. The turning point came when she received an invitation to give a public speech that she simply couldn’t decline. She immersed herself in studying neuroscience and psychology, eventually developing a method based on these disciplines. In just ten days, she successfully overcame her stage fright.
Drawing from her personal experience, Sally realized that people could achieve significant change in a short period with the right approach. She spent eight years working as a mental trainer at a national qualification preparatory school, supporting more than 10,000 adult students.
In 2010, Sally established Vigorous Mind, a company dedicated to helping individuals overcome stage fright using brain-based methods. Her methods deliver fast and effective transformations by addressing the root cause of stage fright.
