Episode notes

Preparation plays a crucial role in productivity for introverts. Unlike extroverts who think and speak simultaneously, introverts tend to observe, reflect, and then share their thoughts. This internal reflection process allows introverts to form their thoughts before speaking. Understanding these differences in communication styles and decision-making processes can prevent misunderstandings and miscommunications. When introverts grasp their natural way of working, it can alleviate feelings of unproductivity, procrastination, and overthinking. By recognizing their unique process and the natural moment to make decisions, introverts can enhance their productivity.

Mariella Franker, Ph.D., supports introverted solopreneurs in getting clarity about which actions to take so that they can be the best version of themselves without being held back by low energy. After years of “playing the part” in her work and trying to make the most of her time by fitting in extra things in all the nooks and crannies of the day, she felt burned out, lost and disconnected. She knew she could add more value to the world but didn’t know how. Then she learned more about herself and what it really means to be an introvert. She started to work more with her natural strengths and created habits that support her personal needs.

Now, she's a certified Natural Advantage® productivity coach, Associate Coach at De Succesvolle Introvert, and CEO of The Franker Message. She's the host of Productive Introvert Community Podcast and has been featured in places like the European Medical Writers Association, Making Money online podcast, and MarieTV. She lives in the Netherlands with her husband and son. On most days, you’ll find her working in her little cabin office, hanging out with her family, or puttering around her home or garden.
