What are you like in an unknown situation? Lets say in a conference where you don't know 95% of people? I used to be quiet and shy and dead scared when I was young but then I started to learn more about communication skills, learned from different mentors. I participated in network marketing company that helped me to improve my Belief in Myself and it reeeeally worked ( It took me about 7 months to work on myself - continous self-improvement, positive thinking books, listening to audios of successful people, attending seminars) .. That's a bit about my journey of improving my communication skills :) What about you guys? What was challenging for you and how did you overcome it?
