    A field guide for introverts: How to thrive at work without changing who you are | Susan Cain

    Susan Cain, author of the groundbreaking bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, shares a guide for how introverts can thrive in the workplace without sacrificing their authentic selves. Drawing from her extensive research and personal experience, Cain offers a powerful reframing: success doesn’t require becoming more extroverted—it demands becoming more fully yourself.

    What you’ll learn:
    1. A simple definition of introversion and how it differs from shyness—plus a simple two-question test to determine where you fall on the spectrum.
    2. Five practical tactics introverts can use to be more successful in business while staying true to their natural temperament.
    3. How to handle challenging workplace scenarios like meetings dominated by loud voices and networking events that drain your energy.
    4. Specific strategies for managers and founders to create environments where introverted team members can contribute their best work.
    5. Practical techniques for saying "no" to energy-draining commitments
    6. Strategies for managers to better support and leverage introverted team members
    7. Practical advice for raising introverted children to help them develop confidence while honoring their natural temperament.
    8. Why seeking to become "more extroverted" is the wrong goal—and what to focus on instead to achieve professional success.
