Everyone has strengths, but not everyone is willing for them to get noticed. Shy, timid, or self-conscious people tend to hide their strengths for fear of being the center of attention. Gregarious people love being seen and use their strengths as a reason to be noticed, while shy people prefer to let the outgoing people have the spotlight. This can rob really great people from the recognition they deserve.
Being shy can make it hard to stand out from the crowd and get noticed but it’s worth the effort to let your strengths shine!

If you happen to be strong at organizing, delegating, and paying attention to detail, event planning could be a great way to use your strengths without having to be front a center. The best event planners blend into the event and enjoy watching everyone have a great time.
