I don't have a problem with self-esteem or shyness, but I understand feeling awkward. I think that regardless of the cause of your discomfort with communication. one of the most effective ways to overcome the barrier is to practice.
I recently created my own podcast. Between guest appearances on other podcasts and working on my own, I feel that I've improved my own communication skills. I've eliminated quite a bit of anxiety.
Because this has helped me, I wanted to extend an invitation to any of you who are sincerely working toward making a change. I'm offering the chance to come onto my podcast. We can make your appearance last only five minutes, or you could make it a little longer. You can do it just once, or you could make repeated appearances. You can even pick out the topic, to some extent (it must fit in).
You won't be expected to just jump into this. First, we'll begin communicating on Skype through text. Then, we'll go to voice (no camera, ever). Then, sometimes, we might record our conversations, just to get you comfortable with the idea of recording our conversations. Then, once you're ready, we'll post one (or part) of the conversations on a podcast.
