It can be challenging to be an introvert in a world built for extroverts. Many introverts have been told at some point in their career to “be more extroverted”, as though introversion is bad — but it’s not, and being an extrovert is certainly not required for success – even as a leader!
Ever wondered how the dopamine pathways in your brain affect how and when you’re able to focus? Probably not, but science can tell us a lot about how our brains work and we can learn to leverage that information to help us be the best leaders we can be.
Aaron will take both a scientific and experiential look at introversion and extroversion, how they differ, how to tell where on the scale you are, and how to employ this better understanding of how your brain works as an introvert to be a great leader. He’ll walk through his own journey of learning to leverage the strengths of his introversion and share what he does to help him navigate the parts of life and his career that are harder for him as an introvert.
