How to overcome shyness !!

Shyness is a disorder and not an illness.

Are you a shy person? It can be considered to be normal to some extent. Most people experience some amount of discomfort while entering a room full of strangers, or if they have to deliver a speech. However, sometimes shyness can take on extreme forms. Shyness is believed to affect nearly 50 per cent of adults to some degree. It is defined by the Encyclopedia of Mental Health as, “discomfort and/or inhibition in interpersonal situations. It is a form of excessive self-focus.”

Dr Jyoti Sangle, psychotherapist, Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital, Mumbai says, “It is important to understand that shyness is a problem and not an illness. The line between the illness as social phobia and shyness is thin, but the line and the features differ in quality and intensity. Hence, the approach towards overcoming shyness becomes more subjective and individualistic.”

Dr Kersi Chavda, consultant psychiatrist, P D Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai further explians, “The mainstay of treatment will be relaxation techniques with systematic desensitisation. The person faces a series of increasing levels of stress-inducing stimuli, all in a state of relaxation and in a safe environment, usually in the form of visualisations. When he allows his mind to become desensitised adequately, then he is allowed to face the actual situations in real life. In severe situations, the use of medication has been suggested to reduce the paralysing anxiety and distress associated with this condition.”

How to overcome shyness

Introduce yourself. A big smile will be all you’ll need to get the ball rolling.

Don’t feel the need to qualify yourself. A humble, but accurate description when asked is all that is needed.

Ask more, talk less. Ask the questions that let them talk about their lives. And then listen with interest.

Be generous in your opinion. If you reserve judgment and spend time making that person comfortable, you will not only spread some good karma around, but also earn their gratitude.

Remember a detail. If you’ve met someone before, remembering their name and a detail about them will be the greatest gift you can give them.

Compliment others. Everyone loves a compliment, they start conversations and they give people confidence.

Think of others. They will be truly grateful and you’ll be distracted from your own nerves!

Always look as impressive as you can be. Looking and feeling great may be helpful in boosting your self-confidence.

Involve yourself in organisations or activities that you find interesting.

Select one social skill to practice at a time. By doing this, you can concentrate your energy and become successful.

Self-fulfilling prophecy: Look in the mirror when you wake up and say loudly what your goals for the day are. Then visualise yourself actually doing it. If you feel you need more time, do it the night before as well, or take as much time as you need until you feel ready.

Believe in yourself. You can do whatever you put your mind to.

Tips for Successful Phone Interviewing

These Tips for Successful Phone Interviewing

The following tips are designed to help you make the most of your phone interview.

1. Always make sure that you are in a quiet place without distractions—one where you can speak freely. If the interviewer calls at a bad time, it’s better to reschedule for five or 10 minutes later (when you can find a place to talk) than trying to get through it.
2. Always have a copy of your resume in front of you. Many times the interviewer will ask you questions in reference to work history or projects detailed on your resume.
3. Take 10 to 15 minutes to focus on the upcoming conversation before the interviewer calls.
4. Always know with whom you will be speaking, as well as that person’s title and functional responsibility. Your MATRIX Associate is responsible for letting you know exactly who will be calling. There are times when your MATRIX Associate may not know exactly who will be calling. This happens more in larger companies when one member of a larger team is assigned to call you to assess your technical skills. Get the interviewer’s name and title and ask how he or she fits into the organization.
5. Use Power Phone Skills! Speak slowly and clearly and always think about your answers before responding. If sitting, sit upright, just as you would in an actual interview. Many people think that if you stand while talking on the phone you are more alert and are better able to project your enthusiasm for the position. Be careful not to go monotone—keep your voice lively.
6. Make sure your answers are clear and concise. Get to the point; don’t ramble. If you don’t know the answer to a question, don’t fake it—just say so.
7. Have questions prepared. Ask the interviewer if you may ask a couple of questions. Additionally, always express interest in the position. At the conclusion of the interview, ask the interviewer what the next step will be.
