Listen now
Description
It’s not often that people come to coaching because they’re an introvert, but it is an aspect of personality that can surface in a number of different ways, or sit behind some of the issues that coachees might want to tackle with you.   In this episode we explore what introversion is, how you might recognise an introverted client and what some of the challenges might be for your introverted coachees. We talk about how you might work with someone who has an introversion preference and even have some strategies for thriving as an introvert in the workplace.    Also, if you’re an introvert, we will explain some of the reasons why you might have a headstart in becoming an excellent coach.   Resources: Here’s the TED talk that we referenced in this episode: https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare     Enjoy the podcast?
