#119 Uncovering the Power of Shyness

Today, I interview Jeff Borschowa who shares a deeply personal journey of overcoming shyness and embracing introversion. Jeff's early years were marked by the struggle to find his voice in a world that often seemed overwhelming. Growing up in an environment that didn't necessarily support his unique gifts, he faced challenges ranging from bullying to feeling out of place in social situations. He was painfully shy as a young man. Speaking up was not "acceptable" in his family.To challenge himself to succeed or fail, he booked himself on stages and practiced until he was comfortable. He now speaks very freely and candidly in front of big and small audiences about a range of topics.As Jeff reflects on his life's path, it becomes evident that his experiences as a shy boy provided the foundation for his later success as a connector and curator of connections.__________________Jeff Borschowa is a business coach, author, educator, and curator of all things related to business efficiency and technology.
