unfortunately there are not so many ways to turn weaknesses into strengths than practice, practice, practice!.
Face your fears, expose yourself to the problem, get out of the comfort zone and do over and over exactly what you are not good at.
as uncomfortable and stereotyped this might sound, there are no other ways around it, unfortunately.
are you shy and not very good at presenting your code during collective code reviews? practice public speaking and try to speak as much as you can in meetings.
are you passive and accept to change your mind and code design at the first critic? practice assertivity and try to deliver your point
do you get stressed out when deadline is approaching or when under pressure? try (gradually to take bigger features and pick those nasty bugs rather than going for the easy tasks).
I found great help in all the sports i did in my life.
how can i become a better climber? train harder and fall a lot. Falling is scaring. but you have to learn and train yourself to fall. otherwise even if you are trained and skilled, you will never make that movement to reach the next hold because you are paralized by fear.
of course there are 2 things we need to keep in mind:
it does not mean that just by training we will become champions - we will definetely improve but not necessarily become great.
we need to really to want the change, and be interested in achieving that. (I suck at soccer, but i don't care, so i am not spending any minute training to kick a ball)
Be kind to yourself, and acknowledge your progresses.
