Monica Parkin on Overcoming Awkward & The Introvert's Hidden Superpowers

Episode notes

As introverts, it often feels like other people can’t relate to our inner experience. We feel awkward in social situations, and work really hard not to convey that awkwardness to others. Our extrovert counterparts can perceive our behavior as stuck up and antisocial, and advice to just “be ourselves” feels rich coming from naturally gregarious people. But what if more people share this experience than we believe, and what if there was a way to change our mindset and create the motivation to put ourselves out there? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Monica Parkin, the author of " Overcoming Awkward, an Introvert's Guide to Networking, Marketing and Sales. " She shares why putting ourselves out there as introverts is a lot easier than we think.
