How do you guys think I should handle being shy? I enjoy the company of others, but can’t find my voice in a group and frequently find myself unintentionally cut off or other situations.

How have your soft/social skills improved thanks to your consulting career? (I’m just starting now and feel very professionally socially awkward/inept)

My start date is soon (entry level) and I’m pretty anxious... What tips would you give your younger self about all the social aspects of consulting?

While traveling what do you do during your free time instead of going out drinking with the team?

Went out for a dinner with a new client and colleagues, i thought I was engaged and participated in the conversation but my client said I was too quiet. Ouch I hate myself now and hope I can survive.
