When someone struggles with shyness, it's not the end of the world. Shyness is when someone observes those around them to stay safe. But sometimes, it can keep them from experiencing the events of life they want to be part of.

With a few techniques and practices, they can become more confident in taking the conversational risks they want to take.

Like:
Raising their hand in class.
Being on stage.
Talking to adults.
Giving book reports.

If you know someone like this, message me🩷 Help them be a good risk-taker. Eventually, they will have to - whether they are ready or not.

Class starts Sept. 25 - Oct. 23, 2026.

It's easy to ignore and possibly it might go away at some point. That could happen. But it's a long road. Sometimes a long, hard road.

If you, or a child you know (maybe your child), struggles to fit in because they just can't step out, there are ways to help. There are techniques to handle their shyness in a fun, safe way.

I bring years of classroom experience.

Send me a message if you'd like to know more. 🩷

When you are shy, you know it with every fiber of your being. Some are painfully shy. Others are moderately shy. When a shy person has to meet new people, interview for a job, or give a presentation in school or college, it can be extremely hard.

It was extremely hard for me. Fear and the lack of confidence kept me from achieving some things I really wanted to do. I had no training on how to handle my shyness. It was painful.

But after struggling through middle school, high school, college, and job interviews over the years, I learned a few techniques that helped me - in life - and as an educator.

Fast-forward to the classroom; I loved helping my students overcome their fear of presentations and speaking in class. They were nervous, but prevailed because of the training and encouragement.

If you or someone you know might be interested in training through shyness, I have a class starting the last Friday in Sept. and running through Oct. 23rd, 2026.

You may wonder why kids and teens are in this workshop together. School may categorize in the same groups, but life doesn't. I've learned from the older generation, and from the younger, too, and teaching students to listen and have discussions with people of all ages is priceless.

If your child is naturally gifted in social skills and is an extrovert, they may not need to come. But if your child struggles to meet people, join in, and talk with others without running away or caving in, they may love this small group workshop.

Give your child an investment in their future self. 🩵

When kids want to do something that requires speaking, presenting, or trying out for a part in a play, but are too anxious to do it, it can be disappointing. As a parent, you may not know about their struggles with the hidden fears of social anxiety, but as a teacher, I saw many kids struggling with it.

Unfortunately, teachers don't have time to help all the students who need extra training in this area.

In this workshop, we will work on helping your student gain the extra confidence they need to push their own boundaries.

These days, most teachers I know see a large gap in social skills, and that's what this workshop is all about. Not necessarily how to say "please" and "thank you", but to feel more comfortable in social settings, trying out for things, or simply adding to conversations and expressing their ideas. These are skills we work on to improve in fun ways! So message me if you have a child who would like to participate!
