Leave the roller-coaster behind and find a steady path forward...

   Learn to make introversion a valuable asset    as you create a life that honors your nature.

 

I'm Ready!

Too many people I know have found themselves struggling to accommodate a go-go-go culture and winding up exhausted.

 

They put on their game face in the morning and head into a day of interaction and activity with too few breaks to catch their breath. By the time they lay their heads on the pillow at night, they are depleted.

 

The next morning, they do it all over again.

They can keep up this pace for a while, but eventually they find themselves utterly worn down.

Before I understood introversion,
I fell into this trap.

As a student,
then a teacher,
and then a mom of three,

I found myself trying to find just a little more energy from somewhere in order to make it through my week.

Because I’d received messages about being too quiet, I felt as though I was somehow deficient when my battery was flickering on low.

That sense of shame about not being enough prevented me being honest about the impact of my schedule on my energy level.

 

I just tried harder. That approach didn’t work.

It was like staggering off a roller coaster and then riding it all over again.

Do any of these stories
sound familiar?

Beryl is a marketing manager

whose best kept secret is that she loves her job but can hardly stand her office space.

 

The open concept floor plan of her company means that she’s interrupted frequently.

Even when she’s not being actively sought out, Beryl finds the noise around her to be draining.

She ends up doing her work at home where she can concentrate, but that leaves her only small fragments of time for her family, let alone herself.

Lately, she’s found it more and more difficult to get out of bed in the morning. She’s been wondering how much longer she can keep up this pace.

Zach is a student

who finds himself drained at the end of long days of classes.

His friends want him to come out with them in the evenings. They seem to have unlimited energy!

Often, Zach gives in and goes along, even though he knows he’ll be absolutely exhausted the next day.

Zach is almost relieved when he comes down sick because he finally feels as though he has a legitimate excuse to avoid the whirlwind of activity and rest for a while.

Johann’s technical prowess 
has earned him a promotion.

 

New to his managerial position, Johann has been taking his cues from the person who did the job before him.

Rhonda, the former manager, was always on the go—talking to her direct reports, holding meetings that ran for hours, and networking with other senior leaders.

After six weeks in his new role, Johann is ready to quit or ask for his former job back.

He just can’t manage in the same style that Rhonda did, and—if he’s honest with himself—he doesn’t want to.

He knows that he has valuable skills to share, but if the only way to keep his managerial title is to act a role that exhausts him, he doesn’t want it.  

While these anecdotes are fictional, I hear similar ones all the time.

Each of the above individuals is suffering needlessly—feeling like they can’t keep up and wondering what is wrong with them.

The good news is that what they are experiencing
is completely normal.

 

Once they understand the very real ways in which introversion affects them, they’ll be able to find new approaches that allow them to feel good about their unique strengths and needs.

Yes, I Need This!

Learning about introversion
changed my life.

All of a sudden, I had explanations for why I was drained by noisy environments and long, interactive days.

There was nothing wrong with me after all!

In fact, my reflective nature became my best asset as I learned to pinpoint what I needed to do in order to find a steady path forward that eliminated the crashes I’d come to expect.

As someone who took years to understand introversion, I am invested in sharing what I know with others like me.

 

I spent far too long neglecting my needs instead of working with my strengths. I’d like to save you the cost of constant energy depletion. I gradually learned to factor my introverted nature into my decisions, crafting an approach to my life that works for me. What a difference it has made!

As part of my journey, I discovered the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)®. Its insights were so helpful—especially its revelations about introversion—that I became a Master Practitioner of the MBTI® and a corporate trainer who specializes in its use.

 

 

For over a decade, I have worked with international corporations, educational institutions, government departments, not-for-profit organizations, and individuals from many walks of life.

 

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is helping people discover how to validate and work with their introverted preferences rather than ignore or stifle them.

I have seen the recognition in people’s faces when I explain how introversion can impact a person’s daily life.

When they make connections to their sense of overwhelm, it’s as though a light comes on. As they apply strategies to better honor their needs, they are able to move forward from a place of calm confidence.

Clients have shared stories of negotiating better work conditions, having meaningful conversations with loved ones, and finding peace within themselves after applying the principles I shared.

Their clarity enabled their colleagues and partners to became allies who understand what allows people with introverted preferences to flourish.

 

I’m confident that this course can open up a new way forward for you—one that avoids the roller-coaster pattern of over-functioning followed by crashing and leads you instead toward a state of calm and steady energy that’s sustainable. 

Over and over, I have been asked for advice about how to understand, accept, and communicate with others about the qualities of introversion.

As a way of making these insights more accessible, I have created an online, self-paced course...
