On the surface, it may appear that we live in an extrovert’s world and that the most vocal, visible, and socially connected people employ more natural confidence and presence. Society tends to view more outgoing people as having a desired “it-factor,” propelling them to higher levels of success than those who are more introverted. 

However, introverted people possess a great deal of positive attributes that are becoming more valued in both personal and professional realms. These include strengths like good listening skills, being more thoughtful and strategic in their decision-making, and the ability to pay attention and provide intuitive insight—all demonstrating a high level of confidence to the outside world. 

Visibility Expert Amelia Roberts joins me to share some simple introvert-friendly ways to channel your inner confidence and become more visible.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may be stressful for people. Fear and anxiety about a condition can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Coping with stress will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.

Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations. How you respond to the outbreak can depend on your background, the things that make you different from other people, and the community you live in. Therefore, Dr. Balin A. Durr, a board-certified psychiatrist with 20 years of experience in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, joined Dr. Shields in the BalmShelter to provide our listeners with strategies for coping with anxiety and different ways of thinking about and reacting to anxiety-causing situations.

It turns out that dating and job searching aren’t all that different. One expert shares her best advice for flirting, handling rejection and avoiding being too picky.

I recently conducted an interview with my friend Ericka Jackson, who is a witty, fun, energetic all around beautiful human being, and also an incredible dating coach. She runs https://ilovethechase.com/, and teaches workshops all over the world on how to meet people. She connects single, busy professionals and entrepreneurs through exclusive, personalized matchmaking services and customized, private matchmaking events. Unlike most Matchmaker, Ericka’s approach is simple, easy, and human. I learned that Ericka’s advice for finding love can also work for your job search. I must admit, she changed my perspective on how social interactions work. Listen to our podcast, or take a look at an excerpt below. And I wish you the best of luck finding whatever kind of match you’re looking for.
