The Introvert’s Guide to Success in Business and Leadership

People Don’t Listen To Me

Some years back I was sitting across the table from a coaching client. We were talking about what she thought was her inability to influence as effectively as she wished. In her soft-spoken manner she said, “I just feel like people don’t listen to me.”

Now, of course, I didn’t say that, but let me ask you this…. Since she is quiet it’s rather obvious she’s an introvert, right? And it’s probably fair to say that introversion is likely to hold her back from climbing the ladder, wouldn’t you say?

Well how about this? The coaching client was a C-level executive in a highly successful organization. Though she very well may be an introvert, making that assessment so quickly without learning more is any easy mistake to make.
