Winter/Spring 2010 Itinerary Interested in meeting individually with me, using me as a speaker for your group, or putting on a workshop for your organization? I am currently planning an itinerary that will take me to selected cities around the U.S. during the first six months of 2010. Dates and specific locations are yet to be determined so there is still time to get on my schedule. Please contact me asap if you would like to set something up. What are the biggest challenges that you face as an introvert? Take this new survey. Recently published article: "Be a Successful Leader - 8 Essential Leadership Lessons From Terry Francona of the Boston Red Sox" Psychologist Carl Jung is credited with the first identification of the personality dimensions that include introversion and extraversion with the publication of his book, Psychological Types in 1921. Jung believed that we function on a continuum of intro/extraversion and that we adapt best when we can move back and forth. Any place on the continuum is healthy. But he also recognized that we have innate preferences. He believed that awareness of the continuum could improve our ability to move on it. Over half of communication is visual, more than a third is vocal, while less than ten percent is verbal -- the words we actually say! This means that our body language, easily seen, is critical. Much research suggests that there are at least five major dimensions to personality. The fact that extraversion is one of these demonstrates how central the traits of introversion/extraversion are to our make-up. Extraversion is viewed as the degree to which one is outgoing, talkative, sociable, and assertive. By implication, introverts are more retiring, quieter, less sociable, and less assertive. The other four of the "Big 5" are the degree to which someone is agreeable, conscientious, emotionally stable, and open to experience. So, while important, introversion is still just part of who we are.
"Leveraging Your Potential as an Introvert" Joyce is pleased to announce that she offered this workshop to the public again in Manchester, NH. It was sponsored by the University of New Hampshire's Professional Development and Training division. |
