- Ways to celebrate successes and build morale, even in challenging environments

After 10 years in organizational development and learning & development, Jennifer Selby Long started Selby Group to help leaders, teams, and companies thrive in a fast-changing world. Though it wasn't broadly accepted at the time, Jennifer could see that the long-worshiped approach of performance-driven leadership was beginning to crack. It simply didn't mesh with changes in the culture and the shift to a global workforce. Ironically, it didn't elicit the best performance, either.
This inspired a deep, ongoing study of how leaders can do both: get great results and build a dynamic, resilient, emotionally mature, inclusive and lasting organization. And it’s more relevant today than ever, as rapid change and ongoing uncertainty affect people and businesses everywhere , and the remnants of old control-based leadership behaviors quickly fall apart in a world of remote and hybrid work.

Caspar Mahoney was brought up homeschooled, on a remote smallholding. He wasn’t given much social exposure until later in life and found himself to have intense social anxiety, shyness, lack of confidence - in particular around public speaking. He would get hung up on what others thought of him, and was too shy and too proudly independent to ask for help and support. Over time he got over these things through a mixture of trial and error, reading, and coaching. He’s now a coach for introverted men, a triathlete, a 25yr experienced martial artist, and a very confident public speaker.

Richie Kyriacou is a Mindset, Career and Life Coach and founder of Reset With Richie.
Prior to this, Richie had a successful career in Financial Services where he climbed to a senior leadership position covering multiple teams in the Asia Pacific region. However, in the first half of his career, he sat in the backseat and watched as everything happened to him. He had always worked hard but wasn't doing the other things to be recognized. Presenting, speaking up in meetings, challenging the status quo, etc., and all out of fear.
Tired of this way of life, he looked for solutions and started showing up with more clarity, calm and confidence. The promotions soon followed suit.
Throughout his whole career, however, he always had a lingering sense that he was meant for something else, and in 2020 it became abundantly clear what that was. That’s when he decided to coach full-time other hard-working professionals to overcome their challenges and build the life and career they truly desire.

As an introvert, you likely have a LOT of ideas. But you know that having great ideas is only half the battle. The other half is capturing those ideas before they disappear into the ether.
Introverts naturally focus on their inner world of ideas whereas extroverts spend more time naturally focusing on the outer world around them. So, as introverts, we have a gift for thinking deeply and coming up with creative and innovative ideas and solutions. We need to give ourselves time and space to use and also enjoy our great gifts of thinking. We also need to be ready for those great ideas when we are not expecting them and learn to capture them as they come.
In this episode, we talk about both ways of getting ideas, both the planned and the unplanned. Learning to give yourself time to think and then be able to capture your ideas, organize, and prioritize them is a major component of productivity for introverts. Be productive in getting your important work done and having the life that you want.

Are you an introvert who dreads small talk? Do you find yourself feeling tongue-tied and anxious in social situations? Or do you just find small talk a tedious impediment to getting to deeper, more meaningful conversations?
It's true that most introverts prefer deep conversations over small talk. Often the mysteries of the universe or how to make the world a better place are far more interesting than the weather or the price of gas. Of course, small talk is usually the gateway to building relationships and getting to those deeper conversations, but some introverts struggle with shyness, or anxiety, or lack of skills when it comes to small talk. The good news is that you can overcome shyness and anxiety, and you can learn the skills to improve your conversations.
In this episode, David talks with Rich Gallagher, psychotherapist and author of "Stress-Free Small Talk: How to Master the Art of Conversation and Take Control of Your Social Anxiety." We'll discuss strategies for being successful in conversations. We'll cover topics such as:
- The difference between shyness, social anxiety, and introversion
- How to change your thoughts around your fears
- Good conversation starters
- Making a good first impression as part of your personal brand
- How to be an active listener
Listen now to learn to improve your conversation skills and get to those conversations you are looking for.
Richard S. Gallagher, LMFT is a psychotherapist based in upstate New York who specializes in treating anxiety disorders. A former customer service executive and public speaker, he is the author of numerous communications skills books including What to Say to a Porcupine, The Customer Service Survival Kit and How to Tell Anyone Anything. His books have been published in eight languages, and he has personally taught over 35,000 people worldwide how to communicate better in difficult interpersonal situations.

We all wear disguises. We put them on to protect ourselves, to keep our true selves hidden away. But what if we took off the costume? What if we allowed ourselves to be authentically us?
In this episode, join David as we explore the idea of taking off the mask and being our true selves. Authenticity is about understanding who we are and embracing our amazing strengths as introverts, letting go of bad habits and limiting beliefs, and courageously accepting our imperfections so we can connect on a deeper level.
In a world where we're constantly putting on masks to fit in and be someone we're not, it's time to take off the costume and be authentically YOU! So take off that mask, and be the amazing person you were meant to be! Listen now and be strong!

Have you ever wondered whether it matters if you're an Introvert, Ambivert or Extrovert, and how knowing the answer can make a difference?
In this episode, David explains that it's not enough to just give yourself a label. In fact, just giving yourself a label doesn't really mean anything. In fact, sometimes we're afraid of labels, and some people really do not want to label themselves as Introverts because they don't understand what that means. But by understanding what these terms mean, by truly understanding your own strengths and needs, you can become more confident, more productive and more successful.
Introversion and extroversion are not a matter of whether you "like people or not..." Everyone needs belonging and connection! But on a deeper level, where do you spend your focus? Where do you get your energy? How do you gather and process information? What do your relationships look like? What lights you up?
Listen now as we discuss all of these questions and more, to discover why understanding yourself and your strengths and needs is the key to being strong.

Sometimes, when introverts take advice from extroverts, that advice can leave us feeling frustrated and lost because it just doesn't work for us.
If you're an introvert, you may have been told to "act like an extrovert" in order to be successful. But that strategy doesn't work for everyone. Sometimes, it's best for introverts to learn from other introverts who have learned how to leverage introverted strengths, instead of trying to be something they're not. In this episode, we'll explore why an extrovert's advice may not work for introverts, and what you can do instead to thrive as an introvert.
Listen now to learn how you can find success in your own introverted way!

There's a lot to love about being an introvert. We often have rich inner lives and thrive in solitary pursuits, and we also like people. We're also often creative and introspective. In a world where introversion is often misunderstood, it can be difficult to celebrate our gifts and strengths as introverts. But by embracing who we are, we can find great satisfaction and happiness in our lives. Let’s celebrate introversion! Let’s get to know our strengths and needs. Let’s bust myths such as introversion is shyness or that introverts don’t like people. You have great gifts! Do you know what they are? Are you using them? Are you known for them? Be proud! Celebrate who you are!
Through this podcast, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many amazing introverts. Some are introvert coaches and authors, some are successful professionals that have learned to embrace their introversion. And as an introvert, I have such an amazing time having these deep one-on-one conversations with these incredible individuals and making these connections. We talk about strengths, needs, strategies for success, and even do some myth-busting. I ask every guest to share their own introverted strengths or superpower or what they have also seen in others.

Are you an introvert who dreads large conferences? Do all those people make you feel anxious and overwhelmed?
In-person conferences and events are growing in popularity again. Conference events accompanied by plenty of networking can provoke a lot of anxiety for an introvert, especially if you are lacking confidence, even if you get charged up with ideas and concepts that are interesting and exciting.
When conferences don’t cater to the needs of introverts - who make up about half of the population, introverts are less likely to participate with groups or contribute their well-thought-out ideas and insights.
When introverts were asked on social media what they'd like to see at conferences to cater better to introverts, there were plenty of responses to the questions: What are some introvert-friendly approaches to conferences that you have experienced or implemented? What are some things you would like to see to make conferences and events more introvert-friendly?
Tune in to hear what other introverts had to say about their conference experiences and learn some tips to help you thrive as an introvert at conferences.

What she found is this: Much of what is taught in the personal growth world simply does not work for everyone! Particularly if we have highly sensitive nervous systems and/or nervous systems that have been wired during trauma, pushing ourselves harder only backfires. Those findings inspired her to write her first book, Secrets of the Resilient Empath. In her spare time, Jennifer enjoys hanging out with her husband and three boys, contemplating the mysteries of the universe, and laughing until her face hurts.

Do you feel like you are alone in being an introvert?
In this episode, David dispels the myth that introverts are a small minority of the population, and gives insight into what being an introvert truly means. If you're an introvert, you're in good company, with most estimates putting over half the population as introverts. Introversion doesn't mean shyness or a lack of confidence or social ability, but rather where your natural focus is more on your inner world of thoughts and ideas instead of focused outward.
Let's learn to immerse "ourselves in the joy, the genius, and the power of who we naturally are" by embracing the strength that comes with introversion.

Do you long to make connections, even though you're an introvert?
As introverts, we all long to make connections. It is just that the connections we want to make are deep - not just surface level. This can be a challenge, but you can improve in the areas where you want to. It can take some time for you to get to know others and then it may be a slow process to get to know them, it may take even more time to find those people that you can form deep connections with.

Have you ever felt like you were broken or wished you were somehow different than you are?
I know I have, and so have many of my guests, before we learned that introversion is not something that needs to be "fixed." Often, this frustration was a result of misunderstanding ourselves or longing for a trait we saw in someone else because we don't understand our own gifts.
In this episode I'll discuss why it's important to get to know yourself, and how to better understand others. So, instead of spending all of your time trying to be someone you are not, you can discover what's amazing about YOU.
You can discover your strengths, understand your own personality, and find ways to be your very best using the natural gifts you have. Listen now to learn how leaning into your strengths instead of your weaknesses can make you strong!

As an introvert, have you ever "extroverted" or pretended to be something you're not?
In this episode, we'll discuss how introverts are not defective extroverts, and you don't need to pretend to be an extrovert, "fake it 'til you make it" or feel like you just can't do something because of your introversion. "Extrovert" is not a verb. You can succeed as yourself, as an introvert, using your own strengths and gifts. But to be yourself, you have to get to know yourself. With this understanding, you can be a success even in areas that some might consider limited to extroverts, such as networking and public speaking. Are you ready to succeed by being yourself?

As an introvert, do you struggle to get things done?
You may feel like you don't have enough time in the day to get everything done, so you end up multitasking to try to be more effective.
I'm here to tell you to stop multitasking and start to focus on one thing at a time. You'll get things done faster and be more effective at whatever you're trying to do. Multitasking doesn't save you time but instead makes more work, makes you less effective, and takes longer.

Have you felt the pull towards a certain career, but were afraid that it wouldn't be a good fit for an introvert?
Barry Karch has always considered himself an unlikely Realtor - quiet, introverted, unsalesy. Not your prototypical formula for success! Yet, Barry has been a top-selling Realtor for 36 years, selling as many as 100 homes per year. He has come to realize that being an introvert in real estate gives him many advantages over his more extroverted colleagues. He has created a podcast called The Real Estate UnSalesperson to encourage and inspire his fellow introverted Realtors and has just launched the UnSalesperson community. His mission is to teach introverts that they have what it takes to succeed in real estate.
Whether you are interested in Real Estate or not, this episode is packed with wisdom on finding success because you are an introvert and not in spite of it.

I truly believe there is greatness in all of us. We just need to be reminded of this… sometimes over and over again. Often, as we are seeking greatness there is that voice in our head or the voices of others, that says who are you to do this? This is referred to as imposter syndrome. The belief that you are really not good enough and worse you are going to be found out as a fraud. And you don’t really deserve your accomplishments as you have just been lucky. We are going to review a couple of strategies to battle imposter syndrome. You deserve success and are well equipped to do some amazing work. Why not you?

Have you ever had one of those dark days when life seemed a bit overwhelming? We all have.
During these times, it's important to remember that even when things are looking dark, there are better times coming your way.
Is there something you can do to change your situation? If you are feeling overwhelmed, are your thoughts bringing you sadness? Can you change your thoughts? What can you control and what must you accept as outside the realm of your control? Spend your time focusing on what you can control.
I truly believe there is greatness in all of us. You just need to be reminded of this… sometimes over and over again. And you need to NOT listen to those voices that hold you back and try to make you just get by or survive as if that is all there is. Each of us will have to face some dark times, but ultimately we aren’t meant to just survive. We are meant to THRIVE!

As introverts, we have many thoughts and it is easy for them to go negative. By using techniques such as reframing we can challenge thoughts that would prevent us from doing something worthwhile or stop us from enjoying the experience. Our thoughts are so powerful. As introverts, we have great ideas and ideas of how things can be great. Don’t give up on these just because others may not be able to see things the way you do. Keep pushing for the exceptional world that you see in your mind. Changing the world starts with a thought.

What strengthens you? Are you able to do that most of the time at work or in your personal life? What do you think of when you hear the word “productivity”? Some might think it means being busy. And if it only means busy and not what strengthens you, this will lead to stress, overwhelm, and burnout. Productivity is accomplishing those goals that strengthen you and are meaningful. Enjoying the quality of life you want, having meaningful relationships, and doing things that feed your soul,

I dropped off my son at the university this week. This can be a very difficult experience for the parents. It made me think of my own college experience. I was happy to be out on my own, however, I was just starting to get to know myself and as I think back it would have been a different experience if I had understood myself and my introversion better. Understanding my personality now allows me to make changes in how I do things, and how I approach situations. There are great gifts that come from introversion. I wish I had understood these things when I was in college, but I am happy I do now.

Have you had the experience where you thought you were doing your fair share of the conversation, but someone had a sarcastic comment like “keep it down over there.” Or how about”Why are you so quiet?” What is the introvert comeback to a statement or question like this? These statements and questions are rarely helpful and can even be harmful. Introverts can be confident in conversations knowing themselves and sometimes it is time to speak and sometimes it is time to think and embrace the quiet.

These could be family or community gatherings, business gatherings such as conferences, or networking events. Some of these types of events as an introvert you honestly may not have missed.

Success comes from getting to know yourself as an introvert and coming up with some strategies that work for you. In this episode, we will discuss a few strategies and thoughts when it comes to small talk and conversations, and large gatherings.

What represents great customer service to you?
Whether you work for yourself or someone else, giving great customer service is very important. Making someone feel that they matter to you and being able to solve issues and meet needs is key. But, introverts and extroverts have different needs when it comes to customer service. For example, an introverted customer may not want as much small talk as an extroverted customer. It's critical to understand when small talk is wanted and when listening is needed. An introvert may be thinking before speaking and may need time to think about what they are saying – whether they are giving or receiving customer service. Understanding the communication differences and needs of introverts and extroverts can be very beneficial in giving the best service.

What kind of work environment do you want for yourself? Do you want to work in the office, remotely, or some combination? For many of us, we were forced into some new experiences for work starting in March 2020. So hopefully now you have some freedom to reflect on this past time and decide what is best for you and those in your life. No matter if you are working in the office or from home, hopefully you are fully using your unique gifts and strengths and honoring your introverted needs. Be sure you schedule time to plan and prepare, time to focus, time to think, time to recharge, time to dream, and time for fun.

Worry can be a problem for introverts. Worry exists in the mind, and as introverts, we spend more of our time there. Some worry is normal and needed as human beings. It is the excessive worry that we can work to free ourselves from. We think, and think a lot. Most of the time, this is a strength. It is when our over-analytical minds go into over-analytical mode and start to “what-if” way too much that we can get very stressed out. If we do worry excessively, we can and need to change our thoughts to eliminate or reduce worry.

As introverts, we have a gift for thinking. We can come up with great ideas, sometimes instantly, but often this may take a little time. Sometimes we may need to give ourselves permission to take some time to think or let others know that we need this time whether it be a few seconds or a few days. So give yourself time to think and space to think and keep coming up with those brilliant ideas!

Do you sometimes feel like we live in an extroverted world? I've heard people say that, but I don't believe that's true. We live in a world full of both introverts and extroverts, and it is estimated to be about a 50/50 split. Among introverts and extroverts, there is a great diversity of personality types and gifts. We complement each other with our strengths. We don't need to act like extroverts to be successful, but rather embrace who we are as introverts to get what we want and need, and do things the way we do them best.

Hope all the fathers out there had a Happy Father's Day! Just a few thoughts as I think about my own dad and myself as a father. Are you parenting introverted or extroverted children? Do you know their strengths and needs? Do they know their own strengths and needs? As parents we have so many opportunities to help our introverted or extroverted children gain understanding and learn what is wonderful about themselves.

Are you an Introvert, extrovert, or even ambivert? What do these mean to you? These types of labels are simply a means of grouping characteristics for better understanding. These labels should never be used to limit you, box you in, or make you feel bad about yourself. And certainly, the label only applies as far as it is true for you. Regardless of your personality type, whether you identify as an introvert or an extrovert, you have specific strengths and weaknesses. Using labels as tools to help you understand your personality and your own unique gifts can help you be more successful. But you are more than a label, as no two people are exactly alike. The key is to find what’s great about you, whether it’s part of a label or not, so you can be strong. We’ll explore what the label really means in this episode and not just stop at the label or barely scratch the surface.

Small talk is a hot topic for introverts. Many introverts don’t like small talk and many don’t feel like they are very good at it and can be anxious about it. I have had my own struggles with small talk and It was overwhelming at times. As I came to understand myself and my introversion I came to the conclusion that small talk may not be interesting to me for its own sake. Introverts are deep thinkers and may not care to talk about topics like the weather. However, small talk can be a great tool to build relationships and get to those deeper conversations introverts want to have.

Do you like to take vacations or staycations? Or some combination of both? The “Staycation” has taken on a new meaning during this past year of mostly staying at home. Although I am currently working from home, I still find it important to take a break from work from time to time. A staycation day or so for me can provide plenty of relaxation and recharge and fun. What works best for you?

I have always hated the expression “you need to get out of your comfort zone.” If you have had challenges, such as shyness or fear of public speaking, you probably have spent your life getting out of your comfort zone. The problem is that if you don’t change your thinking about how scary something is, then it will continue to produce fear no matter how many times you "get out" of your comfort zone. And you will likely stay uncomfortable. I prefer the phrase change your comfort zone. In this episode, I will share tips on how to change your thoughts that are causing fear so the next time the activity won’t produce fear, or at least not as much.

It has been over a year now since many people have started working at home full-time. And now many have started to return to work. What have you learned this past year if you were telecommuting for the first time? Did you find more productivity working from home? Did you have enough human connection or did you feel a sense of isolation? What will change about your work now? This is a great time to have conversations about your strengths and needs as an introvert and promote understanding of different personality types.

Quiet is Strong! I have learned to celebrate what's great about being an introvert. The words quiet and strong are not a dichotomy. I believe this now, but I did not always. I tried for many years to figure out how to be more like others and not be so “quiet”. Ironically, I have discovered that the “quiet” part of me is what makes me strong. And understanding yourself makes you strong. As you make plans for the future be sure to keep your strengths and needs as an introvert in mind.

Are introverts good listeners? I think this may be too much of a generalization; after all, not all introverts are alike. Everyone wants to be heard and understood. We matter. Our voice matters. However, while we as introverts want to be good listeners, in general, we want the conversation to go both ways. We don’t want to be perceived as a good listener just because the other person is doing all of the talking and not pausing to listen themselves. Introverted traits can help us to be good listeners, but can also hinder us if we are not careful. In this podcast, I've outlined a few strategies to improve your listening abilities, as well as your abilities to be heard.

As an introvert, I have long been aware that what is going on in my mind does not always match the expression on my face. Have you ever been perfectly happy, then someone comes along and asks “what’s wrong”? Or be told something like “it doesn’t hurt to smile”? This can drive an introvert crazy. For this reason, I've been misunderstood by many for a good share of my life. As a result, I have come up with some techniques and approaches, to be better understood, feel connected with others, have my voice heard, and to be more confident that are shared in this podcast so you can better connect with others by changing your body body language.

As an introvert, I have learned that some solitude for me is not a luxury, but a necessity. The need for solitude in many of us is not selfish or strange, but in reality, brings us to our best self. We turn inward naturally and much good comes from this. We need to spend some time there in our inner world. As an introvert, not only do I enjoy a little solitude, but I find it helps me be more organized, productive, and at peace. We need quiet to focus, relax and recharge, plan and prepare, and think and dream. When do you have some time alone?

It's a common myth that introverts are drained by all people. I'm here to share that while the concept of an introvert’s need for recharge is well known, the reasons for energy drain and the ways we recharge are many and will definitely vary from one introvert to the next - and it's definitely not just being around people that is draining. In preparing for this episode, I asked many introverts what drained them and what energized them. Contrary to the myth, for many introverts, certain people, engaging conversations and situations are just the opposite: Energizing!
The important thing is to know yourself and what you need. Once you know what it is you need, you can build it into your weekly plan. Understanding what drains you and what energizes you can make you strong!

Several years ago, I was asked by a friend how the stigma around introversion will end. I think he was looking for an easy answer, but of course, there's no easy answer. I did let him know I was trying to do my part by blogging and writing about introversion. There was much great work being done by others in the introvert area also.
I was very encouraged this past week to celebrate National Introvert's Week by attending two different online events. So many more people are involved in this cause, and there is a lot of great momentum behind celebrating introverted strengths and honoring introverted needs.
I am often asked if a person can change from an introvert to an extrovert. Strengths and personality types are consistent over time. So while you can't change your personality type, you can change in significant ways by understanding your personality type. What about nature and nurture? How can understanding what is natural about you versus environmental factors help you learn and grow? How can you help your children and others in your life embrace their gifts whether they are introverts or extroverts? You don’t change from being an introvert to an extrovert, but understanding and embracing who you are can lead to great success and happiness.

There are many personality assessments out there. These can be very helpful tools to get to know your strengths, uncover your blindspots, and discover the best ways to build relationships, and much more. Too often people stop at the label such as introverts or extroverts and don’t take the deeper dive to understand what that label means for them in terms of strengths and also needs. As you understand your unique strengths and needs you can incorporate these into your action plan to achieve your short and long-term goals.

What are areas in your life that cause you to worry about being perfect? There are people that need your best work, but can’t wait for perfection.

One of the big myths is that introversion is synonymous with shyness. Introversion is not shyness as an introvert can be shy as well as an extrovert can be shy. It is really a matter of confidence or a lack of confidence in approaching certain people or situations. Shyness is not necessarily caused by introversion, but not understanding introversion can cause a person to be shy or lack confidence. In this episode, we will discuss different aspects of introversion and how understanding them can help you gain confidence and overcome shyness.

Welcome to the Quiet and Strong Podcast, especially for introverts, hosted by David Hall, strengths & personality expert, author of Minding Your Time, and creator of quietandstrong.com. The Quiet and Strong Podcast will be a weekly podcast dedicated to understanding the strengths and needs of introverts.
Our personalities come to us quite naturally and the key is not to change ourselves but rather to get to know ourselves and embrace those great individual gifts that we each have. Introversion has long been misunderstood and when you come to understand your introverted gifts you can apply this to relationships, communications, leadership, and productivity, and overall success and happiness. For far too long I tried to be something that I wasn’t and now that I am embracing my introversion and who I am I have found more happiness, effectiveness, and energy than ever before, This show is geared towards introverts, but extroverts are always welcome and can benefit by coming to a better understanding of the introverts in their lives. I look forward to further connecting with you. Get to know your introverted strengths and needs and be strong!
