Inner Path Seekers | Lessons for Life Learn How to Talk to Anyone, Even If You Feel Shy and Insecure
If you see me today talking to strangers on The IPS Podcast and doing these videos here, you wouldn’t say that I used to be a very shy person.
But I was. In fact, it’s quite an understatement. I was always the quietest person in the class or in any room.
Through the years, all this changed when I applied all the techniques, skills, and knowledge (and a lot of effort and work) of the ways to talk to anyone, and when I did the deeper inner work of increasing my self-confidence and taking a hard look at my own self-limiting beliefs.
These are all things that I am sharing here in this extended video. If you are a shy or insecure person (or both), try applying everything shared in this video and giving it time. True change, like with me, is bound to happen.
