I've known people who are almost painfully shy who have excelled in such realms, Deb. Personally I'm quite situational and am probably shier and more introverted than many might think. But, when I am on the job it's a bit like walking on stage. Interesting post, but all of yours are, so there.
Ian: I'm convinced that you're at the top of your game when it comes to working a room. You're going to have a tough time convincing people that you can be shy. :-)
