The “So-What” to Being a
Professional And an Introvert.
I believe we all possess a certain amount
of practicality- even the most off-the-
cuff people out there. There are just
times when we need to know the
bottom-line action to what we hear.
When it comes to your own professional
challenges, here are some of the most
common of those for Introverts, what it
is about us that creates them and what
to do instead.
#1 Issue:
Feeling awkward or lack of confidence
when meeting new people in “open”
network events.
Introvert
challenge:
When we don’t have a purpose to speak
or a context of understanding about
another person, our “auto-pilot”
behavior is to listen or observe.
Solution:
Try to attend events where you have
common background or interest. This
gives you a place to start a conversation.
#2 Issue:
Attend business meetings but usually
fairly silent and don’t contribute as
much as others.
Being around people, especially a group
of people depletes our energy plus we
tend to listen and process what is being
said rather than talk.
Introvert
challenge:
 Before a meeting, spend time on
solitary tasks to build your energy.
 Realize you don’t have to dominate,
simply contribute.
Solution:
#3 Issue:
Tend to not self-promote so other, less
talented get sought out for assignments,
advice or promotions.
Introverts tend to be task focused and
overlook the important action of ensuring
people understand their accomplishments.
Introvert
challenge:
Think in 3 stages for communication
about deliverables:
1- Actions to be taken.
2- Actions currently in process.
3- Completed projects and results.
Solution:
#4 Issue:
Because we listen more than we speak,
we can be perceived in many possible
ways: - unengaged – difficult –
unsociable – not caring for others –
uninterested in leadership – invisible.
The perceptions of others matter
significantly in our career progression
because those opinions drive
opportunities – or the lack of them.
Introvert
challenge:
In order to change your Personal Brand ,
you need:
 Specific information on your behavior
that is creating the undesired
perception.
 You need objective feedback.
Solution:
If you are an Introvert or simply think
you may have some of these tendencies,
you need to understand that it can
impair or slow down your professional
progress.
With some insight and actions, you can
easily mitigate any issues that may arise.

The "So What?"- to being a Professional and an Introvert

  • 1. The “So-What” to Being a Professional And an Introvert.
  • 2. I believe we all possess a certain amount of practicality- even the most off-the- cuff people out there. There are just times when we need to know the bottom-line action to what we hear.
  • 3. When it comes to your own professional challenges, here are some of the most common of those for Introverts, what it is about us that creates them and what to do instead.
  • 4. #1 Issue: Feeling awkward or lack of confidence when meeting new people in “open” network events.
