Well if you see shyness as an enemy of progress, you will definitely get rid of it. Learn to read more motivational and inspirational books. Attend functions and seminars often, and also contribute to topics discuss in a group. Always ask reasonable questions in public lectures if you have the opportunity. In your closet, practice it

For starters, I would suggest you get comfortable addressing family members or friends first, then try speaking in front of a small group of strangers. When you feel you've mustered enough courage, you can then move onto larger audiences. Also try to be very prepared. Preparation is key to controlling your fear. If you know your material inside and out, and you're ready to answer audience questions, you’re well on your way to giving a good speech absence fear and shyness.

Good luck.

You don't need any theoretical books for this, all you need do is to begin from addressing small gathering of people whenever the opportunity arises.

You want to know How Gani Fawehinmi said he conquered that?

In one newspaper interview, He said he would face a standing mirror to address himself as if he was addressing someone else. That's how to start when your shyness is going to affect your profession.

Another point, if you're a Christian attend Sunday school class ,try to either make useful contribution, or ask thought provoking questions at the end of every class.

It's a gradual process. The start may be challenging and tasking, don't be discouraged even if people noticed you're shy or nervous.

Boldness is seriously needed in your profession.

You can join a Toastmasters Club. A club that gives people room to speak up and be better public speakers. If in Portharcourt, there is Garden City club and Sterling Club that both meet at Presidential Hotel.
You can check www.toastmasters.org or reach me for more info..
