Hi Priya,
Somehow I got attracted towards this topic's thread and motivated to write my experience.
I am currently working into QAG (in short my responsibility are to ensure process adherence for all departments, process improvements, audits and training of QMS processes).
I happen to be introvert and shy guy till I join this totally new function after 6-8 years working into support and development and even before that for some 6 years I worked into sales which never happened to be my liking and I quit reason doing what not loved.
When I give training to our new joiners / projects team for any project management tool , it gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction than anything in my life specially when my audience gets satisfied for some complex issues/queries based on my experience.
Following are the tips I may suggest you which I feel would surely help to any one who is a trainer
1. Make your session interactive with easy example and question
2. Try to mix some humor with live situation or example to make all feel light
3. Keep ready some relevant live example with data related to your topic to put weight on your most important statement of training subject.
Wish you all the best

Good trainers should:
Believe in and have a passion for what they are teaching.
Know their material well.
Use lots of metaphors explaining the materials
Be willing to share their personal experiences with the topic.
Have a good sense of humor about the subject and be willing to play.
Talk to not at or down to the people in the class.
Not get caught into one person’s issues in the class.
Keep the class moving at a fast pace without loosing anyone.
Find a practical application in the class’s personal life for the particular subject. (Customer Service and using it at home, Time management and orderliness at home. Even computer’s have life issues.)
Respect everyone in the class.
Lots of group activities
Get the class to like and appreciate the subject when they leave.

Hi,
Further to all the suggestions you have received - I notice you have not mentioned your current job profile.
What I would recommend is meet up with your HR or the group responsible for new employee on boarding activity and request if you could help in that activity.
Presenting to these new employees in your company on topics like Company Profile, Values, Mission and HR Policies to begin with adds value to you and will give you the confidence to stand in front of groups of people. From there (and based on feedback) you could seek a transfer into the training team.
Mean while - begin general reading on the topics you intend training on. Once you become a subject matter expert, training on that topic becomes easier. Focus on no more than 3 to 4 such topcis to train on. You can expand a year or 2 later.
