About this episode

In this episode I'm really happy to be joined by Michael to talk about a topic which I think you may find interesting. Feeling shy when speaking another language. You want to say something but you can't. It feels like a really big deal to make the step to speak up. We talk about:

- Michael's shares his own personal story about overcoming shyness in a foreign country with a totally different language

- Highlighting the differences between shyness, being an introvert and lack g confidence

- Shares his tips about overcoming shyness

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did
