What Looks Like Multitasking Is Really Switching

Introverts Need To Trust Their Gut And Share Their Ideas As Powerfully As They Can. This Does Not Mean Aping Extroverts; Ideas Can Be Shared Quietly, They Can Be Communicated In Writing, They Can Be Packaged Into Highly Produced Lectures, They Can Be Advanced By Allies. The Trick For Introverts Is To Honor Their Own Styles Instead Of Allowing Themselves To Be Swept Up By Prevailing Norms.

Solitude Is Out Of Fashion. Our Companies, Our Schools And Our Culture Are In Thrall To An Idea I Call The New Groupthink, Which Holds That Creativity And Achievement Come From An Oddly Gregarious Place.

Introverts Are Offered Keys To Private Gardens Full Of Riches. To Possess Such A Key Is To Tumble Like Alice Down Her Rabbit Hole. She Didn't Choose To Go To Wonderland - But She Made Of It An Adventure That Was Fresh And Fantastic And Very Much Her Own.
