July 22 The Value of Shy Introverted Clients

Title: Understanding the Value Characteristics of Shy Introverts

Presenter: Neal Burgis, Ph.D., CEO & President of Burgis Successful Solutions

Description:

--Are your clients being held back due to their shyness?

--Do they profess being at the mercy of their shyness all their lives?

--Do these clients wish they could walk into a room of people and immediately feel comfortable and confident? Or at least be more comfortable and somewhat confident?

Getting rid of shyness seems impossible to those who admit to being shy but with effective coaching and a clear desire to be more outgoing, people can definitely overcome shyness no matter how crippling it has been for them in their lives.

Do you have clients who are struggling with the consequences of shyness but not admitting to being shy? It's imperative to know the telltale signs to be able to move these people through a process that will give them a new experience whether or not the word shy comes into the conversation or not.

It is important to know the fears your clients feel when shyness hits them, if there are triggers and how intense the feeling. Once you a sense of these factors, you can help these clients to see their circumstances in a new way and, consequently, help them to feel more at ease regardless of any particular situation.

At least one of four people prefers to avoid the limelight and tends to listen more than they speak. Shy celebrities include golf pro Tiger Woods, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, singer songwriter Carly Simon, who sang to audiences of thousands despite having stage fright, actor and Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger, and actor and movie director Clint Eastwood.

During this teleclass, Neal will discuss:

  • Why he does this work, the specific insights he brings to this work
  • The unique characteristics of shy people
  • How to measure the degree of shyness in your clients
  • Quick tips to start the process of reducing shyness
  • A perspective on how coach your shy clients to first, to minimize their shyness, and, ultimately, to overcome it completely
