The Shy and Mighty podcast is on a softly spoken mission to help shy people be more mighty. Shy people don't need fixing. We don't need to change who we are. In a world filled with noise and hot air it's time for us to speak up and stop hiding!Meet your host, Nadia Finer and find out what the Shy and Mighty podcast is all about. The visibility vortexShy people struggle with being seen. It makes you feel self-conscious, uncomfortable and awkward. You worry about being judged, about not being good enough, of doing something silly. You worry about all the things. Because shy people tend not to push themselves forward or shout above the noise, they are often overlooked, and under-estimated.We need balanceThe world needs a mixture of personalities, perspectives and skills to function. If shy people don’t speak up, and are under-represented in society, the only voices we hear are the loud ones. Imagine a world with only confident, shouty people. Nobody would be heard. Nothing would get done! The world needs balance and variety.It’s time to speak upShyness is not a problem. You don’t need fixing. Or changing. But if you’re frustrated with yourself for holding yourself back, and you don’t feel able to share your ideas, stand up for your opinions, or achieve your goals… then, we can do something to help you overcome the aspects of being shy that are holding you back.Shy can be MightyShy people have many positive skills. They are often self-aware, creative, thoughtful, empathetic and kind. When people around us won’t stop talking, shy people tend to listen more than they talk, observe and think deeply, forming deep, long lasting connections. There are certain fields where shy people excel, for example shy people make great counsellors, consultants, phycologists, analysts and researchers because they think deeply and are good at listening. There is a place for quiet, confident success.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shyandmighty/message
