Say goodbye to shy Alex Mlynek Sunday, September 24, 2006

Excerpt: "Shy people can have issues with speech due to a lack of confidence
and a fear of being judged, says Bonnie Gross, a speech pathologist who, through
her Toronto-based company, SpeechScience, has treated shy people for about 15
years."

She also says that "The good news is that if you're shy, you may already be a
great listener, according to Walker, and you should use that to your advantage.
"If a shy person can work on not avoiding social situations, but join in and be
a good listener, and show an interest in other people, this characteristic will
be valued," he adds.

This is a very helpful article to read for those who are dealing with shyness
in the workplace.

Cheers,
Marta
