I totally agree with you about the hidden gems...in fact, many introverts in organizations have been made to feel more of the "hidden" than the "gem" and that's such a loss to the organization! Seb -- I wonder if other brilliant artists such as yourself are also introverted? Is there a correlation? I think there is huge creative potential for those who lead organizations to tap into by realizing how to engage their introverts. Brenda -- Thank you for your comment! I'm glad the topic found its way into your networking meeting, because it is a very important topic! Sue -- You are so right! By virtue of their introversion, most introverts are not going to go shouting from the rooftops about the strengths that introversion affords them. It's up to the extroverts in the organization to NOT dominate every conversation and seek to engage the introverts precisely because of the strengths they bring!

I think people may even believe that "introvert" and "leader" are mutually exclusive. that You really hit the nail on the head about the other common misconception - the belief that introverts are hanging out in an ivory tower somewhere by themselves and not interacting with people!

I have been a lot lately about writing an article about introverts and marketing in an extroverted world. In addition, this was a great conversation point last night at my networking group meeting. Thanks again. Thank you so much for this article. I have been a lot lately about writing an article about introverts and marketing in an extroverted world.

Our achievements are the star of the show, not us. Thanks for reminding us that there is no good nor bad trait, as far as we embrace our uniqueness.

I think that most of us who do coaching see introverts as the "hidden gems" in organizations. I am glad to learn about you and your work. Thanks again.
