Managing Introverts

by marki
April 5th, 2009

Leila Bulling Towne, an executive business coach, tells managers it’s time to start getting to know introverts.

She gives managers three tips for getting the best out of introverted employees:

  1. Don’t rush to judge.
  2. Silence doesn’t indicate agreement.
  3. Give time for preparation.

Her message is that introverts think, then act.  To sum it up in my own words:  If we don’t respond immediately, it doesn’t mean we don’t know, don’t care or agree.  It means we’re processing it for a thoughtful response.

You can watch the full video here.

Does it ring true for you?

Some Happenings for HSPs

by marki
August 31st, 2008

I know it’s been a really long time since I last posted.

But if you’re an introvert who has also identified yourself as an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) — I’d like to let you know about some things going on this fall.

A gathering of HSPs is scheduled in Phoenicia, NY in early October. 70% of HSPs are introverts. If you’ve ever wanted to meet others like yourself in real life, this is a wonderful chance to do that.

You can find more info here.

And you can sign up here.

For HSPs in the Pacific Northwest, there’s also a new network site for HSPs who live in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia. You can find that here.

And last but not least, if you’re not sure you fit the description of an HSP, but you’d like to find out, you can take a self test here.

I probably won’t make it to the NY gathering (although I know some great people who will). But I’m part of the Pacific Northwest group, and it would be fun to see some of you there.
