It is amazing how many people consider themselves shy. In fact, almost all of us feel shy in certain situations. But why are some people more shy than others – are they born that way or is it something they learn? Most importantly, what can shy people do so that their shyness doesn’t interfere in their life or success? Bernardo Carducci, Director of The Shyness Research Institute, at Indiana University Southeast and author of The Pocket Guide to Making Successful Small Talk (http://amzn.to/2CCzcOw) offers some incredible insight into becoming what he calls a successful shy person.

Maybe you are thinking about a New Year’s resolution for 2021. It always seems like a good idea but as we all know, most resolutions fail. So maybe there is a better way.
