"Studies show that more than 75 percent of adults characterize themselves as 'shy' in one or more social and business situations," Don Gabor states in the introduction to his Talking with Confidence for the Painfully Shy. Many people are uneasy about meeting anyone new or entering "a roomful of strangers." To help the reader overcome these and other fears, Gabor shows how to build confidence and prepare to meet people. He supplies possible scenarios and dos and don'ts for each, from simple introductions, to parties and family gatherings, to business and professional occasions.
