📚 A new blog post on a topic close to my heart: 'Introversion' Introversion is normal!! Introverts don’t hate people and social events. But like to engage in small, meaningful conversations. As much as we like solitude, we also like to have deep, focused conversations, and our own, small group of friends. And I hate the train of thoughts that pictures Introverts as only socially awkward people and dreamers. Being an Introvert doesn’t limits in performing any role/ dream job. #introverts #intoversion #quietly #successful_introverts #inclusion For more discussion dive into my new blog.

I’m an introvert. Get me out of here! Introversion is often seen as an issue to be solved. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are five reasons why it’s actually a superpower. ▪️ Introversion is a better predictor of academic attainment at degree level than cognitive ability - what now? Yes, research shows that introverted students have superior general knowledge and critical thinking skills than extroverts. ▪️ Introverts make great leaders. Listening is an often-overlooked, key skill necessary to make employees, customers and other stakeholders feel valued. ▪️ Introverts remain calm under pressure. Taking a step back and looking at the big picture enables better decision-making. Shouting the odds and making decisions driven by fear are unlikely to end well. ▪️ Introverts tend to spend more time thinking about their next verbal response or action - there’s less impulsive behaviour. This reduces the potential for taking risks, meaning introverts tend to have fewer accidents. ▪️ Introverts make the best private detectives because their observation skills are usually more developed than extroverts. While it might look like they aren’t engaged, introverts are quietly soaking up all the information. There are many more reasons why introversion is a great thing, in business and in life. Perhaps I’ll talk about these more another time. In the meantime, fellow introverts, how do you like to recharge after a long day at the office?

Introverts are often misunderstood as risk-averse individuals who prefer staying within their comfort zones. However, this overlooks the fact that introverts are capable of taking bold risks and achieving remarkable success. While introverts may approach risk-taking differently than extroverts, their thoughtful and calculated approach should not be mistaken for avoidance. Many introverts, including myself, have found that stepping outside our comfort zones has been crucial for personal and professional growth. Let's challenge the misconception that introverts shy away from risk. Instead, let's celebrate their unique approach to challenges and recognize their ability to achieve amazing things. 🚀 #Introverts #RiskTaking #PersonalGrowth #SuccessMindset

10 LESSONS FROM THE BOOK QUIET: THE POWER OF INTROVERTS IN A WORLD THAT CAN'T STOP TALKING BY SUSAN CAIN 1. Introverts and extroverts are simply wired differently. Introverts are more sensitive to stimulation, while extroverts crave it. This difference in brain wiring is evident from a young age and persists throughout adulthood. 2. Introverts are not shy or antisocial. They simply prefer to process information and recharge in different ways than extroverts. Introverts often thrive in one-on-one or small group interactions, and they can be just as outgoing as extroverts when they are in their comfort zone. 3. Introverts have many strengths that are undervalued in our society. They are often deep thinkers, good listeners, and creative problem solvers. Introverts are also more likely to be conscientious and reflective. 4. Our culture has a strong bias towards extroversion. This is evident in everything from the way our schools are structured to the way we reward employees. Introverts are often made to feel like they need to be more extroverted in order to succeed, but this is simply not true. 5. We need to create more space for introverts in our world. This means creating environments where introverts can thrive, such as quiet workspaces and opportunities for one-on-one collaboration. It also means challenging our assumptions about what it means to be a successful leader or communicator. 6. Don't try to be someone you're not. Introversion is a strength, so embrace it. There is no need to force yourself to be more extroverted than you naturally are. 7. Find ways to recharge your batteries. Introverts need more time alone to process information and recharge. Make sure to schedule some downtime for yourself each day, even if it's just for a few minutes. 8. Learn to say no. It's okay to decline social engagements if you're feeling overwhelmed. Introverts don't need to be everywhere and do everything. 9. Find your tribe. Surround yourself with people

Empowering Introverts: Embracing Diversity and Celebrating Strength🌟 With all due respect to my fellow extroverts, introverts have an influential edge over their counterparts. Neither extroversion nor introversion is inherently good or bad; rather, they represent diverse approaches to social interaction and influence. It's crucial to recognize and celebrate the unique strengths that introverts bring to the table. #IntrovertStrengths #DiversityInStrengths Introverts possess an invaluable gift—an insightful and reflective mind. Often perceived as quiet or reserved, introverts thrive in environments where they can deeply reflect and analyze their thoughts and ideas. This introspective nature allows them to gain profound insights and make well-considered decisions, making their contributions in any field invaluable. #ReflectiveInsights #InvaluableContributions Contrary to the misconception that influence stems from external expression, introverts wield immense influence through their carefully crafted thoughts and well-reasoned actions. Their ability to listen attentively, empathize, and understand others on a profound level lays the foundation for strong relationships and effective collaboration. #EmpatheticInfluence #StrongRelationships Success is not confined to a singular mold—it takes on diverse forms that cater to individual strengths and talents. The power of introverts lies in their unique way of approaching challenges and opportunities, often characterized by thoughtful contemplation, strategic planning, and focused execution. #IntrovertSuccessApproach #StrategicPlanning In a world that sometimes glorifies extroversion and loud voices, let us celebrate the quieter strength of introverts. Their ability to influence, innovate, and succeed in their own right is a testament to the richness of human diversity. Together, by acknowledging and appreciating each other's strengths, we can create a more inclusive and effective society, valuing both introverts and extroverts for the unique perspectives they offer.⁣⁣ #InclusiveSociety #CelebrateDiversity #EmpoweredVirtualSupport #VirtualAssistantExcellence #EfficiencyAtHome #AdministrativeEmpowerment #StrategicOutsourcing #EntrepreneurialVision #AdminSuccess #FreelanceEmpowerment #StrategicSocialMedia #MarketingMastery #IntrovertedStrengths 🚀 https://lnkd.in/ghxxvWGS

People often mistake introversion for shyness. An introvert can also be shy, but it is not always true. They are not necessarily the same thing. Here are some differences: 1. Introverts can be confident to talk to others but enjoy alone time to energize and rejuvenate. Shy people are scared to socialize because of low self-image and don’t necessarily enjoy alone time. 2. Shy people avoid social interaction due to fear and social anxiety. While introverts avoid social interaction to save energy as they hate small talk. 3. Introverts are not necessarily concerned about people’s opinions & can be good communicators. Shy people worry about what others think of them and may find it hard to communicate. 4. Shyness is a behavior that can be changed with constant efforts. Introversion is a personality trait and cannot be changed that easily.

Like many introverts I find that I am restored by spending time alone and reflecting on my thoughts. Do you find, as an Introvert, you tend to have a richer inner world, and often enjoy spending time in introspection, considering your thoughts and feelings. We may feel drained by too much social interaction and may need time alone to recharge. In this sense, spending time in our thoughts and reflecting on our inner world can be a restorative and energizing activity for many introverts like us. However, it's important to note that everyone is different, and not all introverts may find this to be true for them. Additionally, some introverts may find that they benefit from a balance of solitude and social interaction, or that they need to engage in other activities to feel restored and energised. Ultimately, what restores and energises an introvert will depend on their individual needs and preferences. What do you do to recharge? #like #introvertsuccess #introvertstruggles #change

Introverts can also win "Introverts enjoy people-watching. Extroverts enjoy people watching." Jonny Sun, 'Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too', 2017. The percentage of introverts is 50%. But many people mistakenly think that introverts are timid, uneasy, or socially awkward. However, that is untrue. Just as extroverts, introverts have a different method of obtaining energy. You have access to a different energy source. Being an introvert doesn't mean you just want to be alone. How introverts get their energy: Through alone time Through nature walks, reading, exercise, with animals Through valuable conversations with selected people It is crucial for introverts to understand who they are and the unique nature of their energy sources and skills, especially in these fast-paced times. Everyone can learn to set up the correct framework conditions and intentionally exploit this property for themselves using the right techniques. Remind yourself that perhaps one word spoken by someone else affected you in a fundamental way. As a result, you should always give your comments a lot of weight and speak them out loud. #introvert #introvertlife #win #winning
