Here are several quotes of wisdom by **Dorothy Sarnoff** – American operatic soprano, Broadway performer, and later a well-known image and speech consultant, especially to business leaders and politicians:
—
### On Speaking and Presence
**“Make sure you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening.”**

—
### On Inner Calm and Confidence
**“When you feel nervous, focus not on yourself but on the message you’re delivering.”**
– Dorothy Sarnoff
> She taught that fear fades when attention shifts from *self-consciousness* to *service* — from ego to purpose.
—
### On Self-Image and Authenticity
**“People will like you for being yourself far more than for trying to be someone else.”**
– Attributed to Dorothy Sarnoff
> Confidence and effectiveness grow from authenticity, not performance.
