Amongst the most successful introverts in the world you’ve got names like e Elon Musk, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg.
For them, being introverts may not be a problem however, if you are not your own boss and are an ambitious overachiever, being an introvert may prevent you from excelling in the workplace and even though you are fully capable , you may be outshined by more extrovert personalities.
In this lecture you are introduced to the course.

Get better at communicating if you are shy or an introvert

Description

We live in a culture that equates leadership and ambition with extroversion and being present. This can be difficult for introverts, who may excel at work but struggle with office politics, overstimulation from noise, light and people in the workplace often leaves introverts uncomfortable and unable to focus.

Being an introvert especially in the workplace may be a little challenging especially if you are shy and would rather keep your head down, do your work and remain in the shadows. In the work place however being noticed often leads to promotion and recognition so its not uncommon for introverts to struggle and long to fit it and be more noticed in the workplace, but their nature may hold them back.

Well in this course I help tackle this by providing some practical guidance to help you communicate better at work, stand out and engage comfortably at those awkward meetings and social gatherings. There is nothing worse than engaging in ideal chit chat when you would rather be elsewhere.

I use many of the experiences from career spanning over 21 years in the UK to guide you and I’m sure you will find this course very useful.

In this course we’ll be covering

1. Who introverts are?

2. An assessment to see if you’re an introvert

3. Strengths of introverts

4. Communication skills

5. Holding your energy

6. Tips to get ahead at work
