Summary: | It should come as no surprise that the high-performing student who observantly achieved in school turned into a high-performing professional, generating innovative workflows, sales strategies, and driving revenue while being embarrassed to collect a glass trophy recognizing her efforts. That student-turned-professional was and is me. I was never the first to raise my hand (even though I knew the answer), seldom the first to offer my ideas (even though they were often superior), and I still prefer to clearly articulate my thoughts uninterrupted in the chat while other people compete to be heard on a Zoom call. I am a true introvert. Introversion, shyness, and lack of confidence are often misunderstood as being similar, but they are distinct concepts. Introversion is a personality trait where individuals prefer calm, minimally stimulating environments and often recharge by spending time alone. |
