Who You Are Deep Down

In keeping with the theme of introversion, here is a video of Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. In this brief video, she states her belief that Introversion and Extroversion are as "profound a part of our identity" as our gender. This is a strong statement to say the least!

If Cain is correct, then learning to embrace our natural temperament and discover the gifts within it is an essential life task. This is particularly difficult in our culture for introverts as there is a huge cultural bias toward extroversion. However, if an introverted person can learn to become comfortable with their natural disposition, the greater the possibility becomes that he or she can begin to bring their unique gifts into the world.

Enjoy the video and if you find this topic engaging, be sure to check out my upcoming seminar on Networking for Introverts on the workshops page of this site.
