Being shy could hinder your career progress Abel Kabiru
Publication details: Nairobi Financial Post Ltd. May 5-11 2008Description: p.11, The Financial Post, May 5-11 2008Subject(s): Summary: The saddest part about shyness in the business world is the opportunities missed out as we sit back in staff meetings, training sessions and business negotiations . Shy people are lonelier, have fewer close friends, date less frequently and feel more inadequate. Their careers suffer because they would rather fade into oblivion than demand recognition, a plum assignment or a raise. From networking to resume writing to public speaking, shyness stunts our growth because it keeps us from learning the things we need to know to do our jobs well.
