Competence first, then confidence will follow. I don't think there's a shortcut. I think the shyness is a valid emotion where you're trying to protect yourself from a real danger. If you are not competent and act with confidence, you're liable to either fall on your face, or be smacked down by people who see you're faking it. Accept your incompetence as it may be and keep working on yourself.
