Do you know whether your son or daughter is an extrovert (who gets energy from being with people), or an introvert (who gets energy from quiet time spent alone)?
In my book, I make a strong case that figuring out the delicate nuances of personality type is critically important for future career success and satisfaction.
(If you already own LAUNCH, you can see what I’ve written on this subject in chapter 13, which starts on page 133.)
Once you know your child’s natural introvert/extrovert tendency, here are some great ways to give him or her extra care, love, and nurturing during the growing up years.
(This will also work on your spouse–and on your employees and co-workers!)
Both extroversion and introversion are equally valuable personality types, but sometimes the great value of introversion is overlooked in our culture. If you love an introvert (or if you are one), don’t miss this fantastic TED Talk by author Susan Cain. Susan reaches millions of people through her books, podcasts, and her mission-based organization, Quiet Revolution, which “empowers introverts for the benefit of everyone.”
You can purchase Susan Cain’s groundbreaking book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking here.
