Introverts tend to worry about what other people think. When we first meet someone, we worry about saying just the right thng. When we call to connect over coffee, we worry that they will think we're being pushy. The list goes on. We spend so much time worrying, it's hard to have fun. If this sounds all too familiar, take a look at "Eight Essential Tips to Overcoming Shyness and Making a Good Impression" by Cyan Ta’eed. What I found interesting is that every one of these tips focuses on the other person. Give compliements, listen, remember details about them. This is good news for introverts because it takes the spotlight off of us and onto the other person. So read all the tips, and try them out at your next networking event.
