How well do you know your own strengths? And those of your co-workers?
Hmmm… isn’t it interesting that others can describe better than you…your own book? 🙂
Every feedback I receive for the book Quiet Lessons for the Introvert’s Soul helps me see it from a different perspective than what I envisioned while I was writing it.
The same thing usually happens when we read or hear other people’s stories: we might understand them from a different perspective … and even learn something new about ourselves!
What’s funny: I actually relied on this when I interviewed the 11 successful introverts featured in this book (authors, entrepreneurs, professionals, and even a top sales performer). I was hoping that—through their stories on how they overcame their challenges—I’ll be able to reveal the introvert strengths in a way that has a direct application for other introverts as well.
Did I succeed? 🙂 I’ll let you figure out from these reviews:
“Did you know that introverts are big thinkers? Well, me neither! I found this book life transforming. The list of positive attributes for introverts is ENORMOUS! We all know about the negative ones such as nerd, wallflower and all those negative connotations. Time to embrace your introvert-ness!
I don’t know if this is a legit word or not and don’t really care. Embrace being an introvert, it’s cool, it’s hip and the author is educating us all about our (hidden?) talents. A game changer for me.”
~ Mimi Emmanuel, multiple #1 bestselling author
“To find where you ‘fit’ in the world, including in the world of work, you need to be able to maximize your strengths. And if you manage others, you must figure out how to maximize their strengths, as part of your team delivering its A game.
Here is a book that helps with insights into those strong, silent types – the introverts of the world who make up almost half the population. It tells the stories of 12 people who know themselves to be introverts, including the author, a bestselling author and accomplished career coach and workshop leader. Each person in this book has grappled with the questions:
- What do I have to contribute?
- How, where, and in what conditions do I do my best work?
- Am I using my temperament as well as skills and experience to the greatest advantage?
- Am I supporting colleagues in doing the same?
Read this book if you want to do better at understanding your working self, in finding the right job or getting the next promotion, in switching locations or careers to more meaningful work and, beyond the workplace, in knowing yourself and improving relationships with family and friends.
Read it if you want a better, more positive and practical approach to getting the best from colleagues, customers and suppliers.
Read it if you want to help your kids understand themselves better and navigate the journey to productive adulthood lives and careers.
Or read it simply to get an insider-view of career paths and why people make the decisions and choose the paths that they do.
An excellent, thought-provoking book from a positive and empowering perspective!”
