Yesterday I attended a wedding of a good business friend. We don’t know each other as well, for as long or as deeply as many of the other guests, but we had made a good connection. I headed out in the morning with 2 changes of clothing, the pie I was asked to bring, the bubbles I purchased to help with the festivities and my camcorder. I was aware of, but not paying too much attention to, the fact that I may know only one other person at this wedding of about 100 guests, no mean feat for an Introvert. However, over the years I’ve become more comfortable in stranger situations and confident I’d find my way around so I wasn’t worried.

Introversion: Advantage in Noisy Marketplace?
July 2nd, 2010 Joan Friedlander Because there is such an incredibly high volume of marketing noise, and a bit of mistrust in the current business environment, an Introvert’s preference for more meaningful connections and private conversations is most certainly an advantage, and one that can be employed for positive results.
