Interpersonal skills for introverts

November 3, 2008

After wrapping up a coaching call with an individual who is working to improve his confidence in a variety of business-social settings, I found myself at 900 N Michigan Ave (aka the Bloomingdale’s building), which is a pretty big mall here in downtown Chicago.

Naturally, I grabbed a spot at the top of the escalator on the main floor, cracked open the laptop, and filmed a vlog for all y’all introverts.

In a nutshell, here’s what you’ll learn in the video:

  • Track your experiences and convert them into stories that have beginnings, middles, ends… and emotional appeal.
  • Track situations that make you uncomfortable and admit to yourself what it is about yourself that makes you uncomfortable. (Usually, when you blame someone else for your own discomfort, it’s because you refuse to admit something *about* yourself *to* yourself. Get over yourself.) Then identify what you’ll need to do to master those situations.

Great advice, I’m going to try it. I’m reading Super Staying Power and stopped to see this video. The book is great, Jason. I’m going to finish it today.
