 Being Confident?
I belong to the 'shy' world too. Because of my introverted nature, I tend not to speak alot at functions.
however, I do notice when I speak alot,and confidently too... when I am passionate about something and I have knowledge (and skills) of the area(s) that come to light.
So, you may want to really ask yourself - what is or are you strong areas that you could speak boldly and confidently about? Start with those areas. And in order to enhance what you may not have, listening to others and reading up help alot. Well, "Rome wasn't built in a day...", so the saying goes; it takes us time to develop confidence.
And by the way, listening is a powerful communication tool too. If you do not have confidence, yet, too talk alot, it's okay; just develop further the art of active listening, ya?
