Synopsis

Communication and confidence tools for shy people!

Is your shyness holding you back from going after what you want? Are you tired of feeling like you aren’t good enough? Do your self-limiting beliefs sabotage you from speaking up and owning your story?

In Shy by Design, career coach and leadership and communications lecturer, Michael Thompson, shares his inspiring journey of moving from being riddled with self-doubt due to his shyness and debilitating stutter to becoming a sought-after career coach, university lecturer, and strategic communication advisor for leading business executives, entrepreneurs, and creators (despite still being shy, and at times, still stuttering).

Packed with actionable strategies and heartfelt stories, this transformative book will revolutionize your relationships, help you embrace the blessing of being underestimated, and amplify your impact. Thompson’s 12 principles will help shy people:

• Build confidence and strengthen communication skills through the power of being persistently curious.
• Create meaningful connections and foster a close-knit community that supports personal growth.
• Lead with quiet conviction and while cultivating a mindset that uplifts others on the climb toward success.

The author’s inspiring journey navigating the often loud world of sales and communication – while staying true to his shy nature – will ignite the courage of shy individuals to embrace their unique strengths. For recent graduates, seasoned executives, or anyone seeking personal growth, this empowering book will provide readers with the motivation and action steps to embrace shyness as the superpower that it is.
