#401 - How Introverts Can Win in the Wor...

DR. LISA MARIE BOBBY
About this episode

Introverts are the unsung heroes of the workplace. They're thoughtful, analytical, and they excel at working independently. Still, if you have an introverted personality type, getting ahead at work can be a challenge. This podcast episode is going to tell you how to leverage your introvert superpowers (because I promise, you have them) and WIN in the workplace as an introvert

Although introverts can be assets to a team, they struggle with visibility. They may hesitate to speak up in meetings and spend lunch hours munching a salad in their car rather than socializing with coworkers. Unfortunately, upper management might mistake your introverted personality for disengagement or even disagreeableness. But there are steps you can take to make your voice heard, highlight your accomplishments, and connect with your colleagues, all while staying true to YOU. 

Tune in to learn about:

  • 05:42 Career Paths for Introverts
  • 09:21 Tapping into Your Introvert Superpower
  • 12:09 Signs of a Mismatched Career
  • 16:23 The Impact of Negative Feedback 
  • 21:40 Finding Balance as an Introvert
  • 24:19 Why Introverts Kick a$$ in the Workplace
  • 26:30 The Value of Introverted Leaders
  • 30:05 How to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
  • 31:29 Self-Acceptance vs. Functioning in the World
  • 38:23 Normalizing the Introvert Experience

And more! I hope you'll join me and my Growing Self colleague Susan for this conversation! She's an experienced career counselor and she has so many excellent career tips for introverts that you won't want to miss! 

All of that and more on today's show!

xoxo, 

Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
