Always do what you are afraid to do. Practise. Seek out opportunities to make these weaknesses your strengths. There's Toastmasters and other groups to help, lots of books.. but mainly, practise, do them over and over again. A lot of the great speakers of history were terrible in their youth, or stuttered, or something--a lot of people who achieve greatness made extra effort because it meant more to them than to other people. etc. Good luck!
