The Introvert’s Guide to Success in the Workplace: Becoming Confident in a Culture of Extroverted Expectations

As an introvert, do you ever feel like the things you’re best at--deep thinking, keen observation, focused listening, and strategic planning--are not highly valued in your workplace because they are internal rather than external? Have you ever been ignored or passed over while the extrovert in the next office is recognized and rewarded? Do you feel like you have to pretend to be someone you’re not in order to get ahead?

Just because your greatest strengths are internal doesn’t mean your workplace doesn’t need them. In fact, your invisible skills are essential to any business’s success! And the key to your personal success is not trying to be someone else but being 100% yourself.

Backed by research, case studies, and personal observation, communication expert Dr. Mike Bechtle shows you how to capitalize on your unique strengths so that you can reach your full potential with confidence and authenticity. His simple, actionable advice can change your work life--starting today.
