Solid suggestion, you should consider applying this one.
On the other hand,
there will be no answer here that will help you. Sorry =(
It took you many experiences to build up your beliefs to their present intensity, such as "I'm shy" which is reinforced everyday, by simply not being social. If you were REALLY serious about this, then you know that there is only one real way to overcome social anxiety. Talk to people. Talk to lots of people.
Say hi to the first person you see in the morning. Say hi to the first person you see on the street. Say hi to the person you sit beside on the bus/subway.
TALK TO PEOPLE! Make a GOAL. If you have say, a week before training, you can initiate conversation with at least 50 strangers by then. Think of what that will do for your shyness. Once again, if your SERIOUS about this, then stop asking HOW, and just TACKLE it.
