3 Steps To Beating Shyness At Work - Discover How To Progress And Win That Promotion

You probably don't need me to tell you that shyness is likely to hold you back and hamper your success at work. After all, success means more money when you have a job so it's time you stopped sitting on the sidelines watching your colleagues grab the opportunities that you really deserve. Follow this 3 step plan and you'll be achieving and progressing at work in no time at all.

If shyness is a problem for you in the workplace then you have probably missed many chances of promotion and career opportunities in the past.

The bitter pill of disappointment is a hard one to swallow when you witness your colleagues take the spotlight and get the promotions while you stay where you are.

Sure, you have all the skills and abilities that your employer is looking for, but shyness at work will never get you noticed. It's usually confidence and personality that leads you to success so it's time to stop wasting your potential talent.

So, these three steps will help you deal with your shyness at work and set you on the path to success.

• Start Building Relationships With Work Colleagues.

Pluck up courage to make simple small talk with your work-mates during coffee and lunch breaks about non work related issues. Try to get involved and join in after work activities or go for an after-work drink. You want to get to know your colleagues better and build rapport. You never know, a good word or recommendation could one day be to your benefit.

• Create Opportunities.

Opportunities and chances for progression will not come looking for you. You have to pursue them yourself. Grab every opportunity you can to engage and build rapport with your boss and line management. Be alert to opportunities and let your boss know you're interested in progressing.

• Sell Yourself.

Don't be afraid and timid when it comes to sharing your past achievements and successes. You don't want to come across as "cocky" but if you stay quiet, no-one will ever notice you. After all, good performance should be seen and rewarded so it's down to you to get yourself noticed.

I know this all may sound "easier said than done" so try to visualize yourself talking confidently with your boss and colleagues. Really try to picture yourself in your mind as someone who is able to communicate with confidence at work. Stop letting shyness control your life. We all spend a lot of time at work so you really should do your best to enjoy it.

Follow these simple 3 steps towards dealing with shyness at work, then when a promotion or opportunity comes along it will be you who succeeds and not someone-else.
