MHealth, Mobile health: Company General Use

One of my colleagues who’s a member of Innovation Team I’m leading, was a very quiet and shy person.  He was rarely speaking in the meetings.

I noticed that he is an intelligent person as he submitted lot of innovative ideas and patents to the  system. When I talked to him, I found that he’s smart but his English wasn’t perfect. After one of our  meetings I sat with him and told him about a situation I’d gone through.

I had Problem in speaking English in the past. I was very shy in the meetings and never speak in public  due to lack of English language. This problem has kept me away from attending meetings, conferences,  and some courses which reflected negatively on my career.

When I went to visit my son, who was studying in the United States, he noticed that and told me about a  similar experience he went through.

He has just started his scholarship in Colorado University and was assigned to an English language  course there. He was also a shy person due to the lack of ability to speak English fluently. His American  neighbor noticed that and asked him about the reason of him being shy. And he told him “hay... don’t  feel shy to speak English and do some mistakes! Don’t worry my friend! You have your own language  and studying a second language to understand us. this is an accomplishment itself! It’s us that should  feel shy to not trying to understand you”

My colleague was encouraged after this story as much as I do.
