Ep 239 The Healing Power of Listening

The Flourishing Introvert Talks ·

2024/09/26

Summary If only people could just listen, and notice how it helps people to heal. Despite my decades-long campaign to improve our listening skills, people are more interested in learning how to present or use language to influence. In fact from early years, we're taught how to read & write, but not how to listen. Central to this episode is the inherent ability of introverts to be comfortable with silence which gives us the edge when we need to listen. And when we listen to understand

2024/09/19

Summary Oh the daunting world of networking, how it bothers we introverts. In this episode I share how we can look at networking from a fresh perspective, an encouraging one at that. Acknowledging our discomfort with traditional networking methods, I share my own journey and how I've come to see it as an opportunity to build meaningful relationships rather than just a transactional exchange. By intentional reframing of how we view and go about networking, we make it less about selling

The Flourishing Introvert Talks ·

2024/09/12

Summary In this episode I take a closer look at the reality of companies championing inclusivity and actual gap in implementation on the ground.

Summary Welcome to the new and 21st season of The Flourishing Introvert Talks. We are diving into the often-overlooked contributions of introverted leaders within our evolving work environments. In the post-lockdown world there's been a noticeable shift from initial acceptance to a push for Return-to-Office mandates.

2024/08/08

Summary We avoid the difficult, don't we? It is not easy to invite, open up to and engage in difficult conversations and decision making. I explore the challenges we face when handling the difficult. Drawing from personal experiences and client stories, I discuss how making decisions—whether they're about ending a relationship or changing careers—resembles a complex dance that requires both grace and strategy. It does require courage, clarity and patience. I dive into the delicate

The Flourishing Introvert Talks ·

2024/07/17

Summary Ah, the exasperating and mundane recurrence that plagues the lives of many of we introverts, if not most – a real-life Groundhog Day.

Ep 230 Fear of Failing

The Flourishing Introvert Talks ·

2024/07/11

Summary In this episode, I dive into the role of extrinsic and intrinsic fear in creating mid-year doldrums in our minds. I am to offer an alternative way to look at remaining year, and the opportunity it brings. These 'what have you achieved by mid-year' prompts can lead us down a spiral of self-criticism and feelings of insufficiency. I talk about importance of intentions as opposed to goals. By focusing on intentions, we introverts feel more empowered and purposeful in our quest for

The Flourishing Introvert Talks ·

2024/07/04

Summary It is time to explore the complexities of motivation from our perspective as introverts. The billion dollar question is what motivates us, and what about our team members? The best motivation isn't something we can 'do to others' but something that comes from within, and for us, a calm & positive environment does act as a catalyst. We dive into intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation and its impact on us as individuals. I discuss why for introverts, internal satisfaction

I talk about the jitters when delivering an emotional reading at a friend's wedding - and how memorable it became, nott how you'd imagine though. I also share some of my strategies that enable me to do what I need to do, in spite of how daunting it feels. After all, the jitters shouldn't stop us in our tracks. In

Drawing from my own experiences and battles with overthinking, I share insights on how we can tackle hurdles without letting our inner critic take the wheel. By dissecting a problem-solving approach I call 'I-DEAL', I offer listeners a structured way to face challenges head-on. The 'I-DEAL' method has

Just as babies are laid with care upon a changing mat to be freshened up, we introverts would also benefit from having cleansing moments to be ready for our next adventure. It is about taking note of when it's time to pause so we reflect on the direction in which we're headed versus where we truly want to be going. Change is necessary for growth and a

Ep 222 How to Bite Back

The Flourishing Introvert Talks ·

2024/05/09

Summary This is the episode I needed several times in my life but it didn't exist back then. In "How to Bite Back," I examine the common misconception that kindness is weakness. We introverts so often feel the pressure to people-please at the expense of our own well-being. In this episode I aim to empower listeners who identify as people-pleasers to hold boundaries both for self-care and to maintain healthy relationships. Being assertive is standing up for your rights and needs, whilst respecting

The Flourishing Introvert Talks ·

2024/05/02

Summary In this episode of The Flourishing Introvert Talks, I reach into the profound impact that kindness has on our lives and those around us. As an introvert myself, I understand how misconceptions can paint a skewed picture of who we are. This episode is about championing kindness over meanness, because it's not only beneficial to others but also enriches our own lives. In my view, kindness acts like a pebble thrown into water, creating ripples that extend far beyond the initial splash
