As an introvert, have you ever "extroverted" or pretended to be something you're not?In this episode, we'll discuss how introverts are not defective extroverts, and you don't need to pretend to be an extrovert, "fake it 'til you make it" or feel like you just can't do something because of your introversion. "Extrovert" is not a verb. You can succeed as yourself, as an introvert, using your own strengths and gifts. But to be yourself, you have to get to know yourself.  With this understanding, you can be a success even in areas that some might consider limited to extroverts, such as networking and public speaking.  Are you ready to succeed by being yourself?- - -Contact the Host of the Quiet and Strong Podcast:David Hall Author, Speaker, Educator, Podcaster quietandstrong.comGobio.link/quietandstrongdavid [at] quietandstrong.com Take the FREE Personality Assessment: Typefinder Personality Assessment Follow David on your favorite social platform: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube Get David's book:Minding Your Time: Time Management, Productivity, and Success, Especially for Introverts You may also like:Quiet & Strong Merchandise
