Ep 53: Speaking as an Introvert (ft. Cinnamon Wolfe)
The fear of public speaking is one of the most common phobias in the world, but the notion that this is more pronounced in introverts is a huge misconception. Today my special guest Cinnamon Wolfe and I have a deep dive discussion about what it's like to be a speaker/educator and attend these live events as an introvert. Join us as we take some time to learn a little bit more about what being an “introvert” really means so we can lean into our strengths and serve people in a way that we may not have been able to before.

Episode takeaways you don’t want to miss:
Being an introvert doesn’t mean you’re a loner
Introverts prefer one on one conversations
Podcasting is a great way to practice educating, speaking and communicating with others
Being an introvert doesn’t mean that you’re terrified of speaking in front of large crowds, but engaging with small groups of your listeners after giving a talk might be exhausting and emotionally taxing
Introverts tend to do very well in situations where their role is very clear
As an introvert, not having the time to sit back with your personal thoughts can be mentally exhausting. It’s important to give yourself space in the day to mentally recharge
The conception that introverts just want to go hide in the corner is categorically false
There are several good resources available for you to study your personality type and how to best manage it. If you feel you’re an introvert, read Susan Cain’s book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking”
