I’ve always been told I’m an extrovert.
I’m a podcast host.
I’m the one who stood up at the end of birth class and said, “I need mom friends”.
I’m the teacher who volunteers to teach sex ed and yells vagina to break the ice.
Even back in high school, I loved being on stage for plays and at university, I was the editor of the student humor magazine.
But, over the last year and a half, with pandemic inflicted solitude, I have found more and more opportunities to embrace my introvert side. It was always there, none of us are 100% extrovert, but I had been convinced that showing my extrovert side was more valuable. However, despite the world showing favor to the loud and social, we need people from both sides of the spectrum.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Faris Khalifeh who encourages us to see the benefits in the balance and the power of quiet leadership.
