I'm a young professional looking to challenge myself and get experience in business, so I'm planning on moving into a business development role. I'm nervous, and I think the common mentality is that you have to be an extrovert to be in sales, but I can see how I can use my inherent nature as an introvert to my advantage. Your blog posts inspire me, and I'm sure I'll refer to them often as I start my Business Development role.<br /><br />Thank you!!<br />VanessaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500624582243733333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102897650629290175.post-9555547039684999602014-11-06T07:26:29.508-05:002014-11-06T07:26:29.508-05:00This one is really useful resource of information....This one is really useful resource of information.

One is gifted in sales, another has the gift of compassion, one has a gift for running a business, one is gifted in learning, one has a gift for getting along with children and teens, one is gifted in cleaning, organizing, and decorating, and the last is athletically gifted. Actually, these aren't even all of their gifts. Of course, I'm a little prejudiced, being their mother, but I can see it with other people as well. At the same time, we all have or "disabilities". I came to realize this because my one son is learning disabled. I soon starting thinking about the disabilities in the rest of the family. www.joanna-fiftysomething.blogspot.comjoanna-fiftysomething.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16451851537628594233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102897650629290175.post-68860509884443697242013-12-19T22:32:20.112-05:002013-12-19T22:32:20.112-05:00I am an extrovert, married to an introvert.

Thank you for writing. Rest assured...Hello Reeba,<br /><br />Thank you for writing. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with you. This is how we introverts are wired and as a result we come off as we do.<br /><br />Having said that, we have choice to make. Do we want to continue to go through life being misjudged, remaining silent, and "hiding" behind "that's how we are"? Or do we want to do something about it? If you choose the later, here's something to think about.<br /><br />Given that you are a nice person, next time your brother or others critizie you, why not take the bull by the horn and first thank them for their valuable feedback (and feedback is a gift truly) and then ask them: "What's the one thing you could say or do differently, so you don't come off as "bitchy"? If you ask for guidance, I am sure they will provide to you, from a good place. It's takes courage to do this and that courage I am sure you have.<br /><br />By doing so you'll get some valuable insights and then you can adjust your behavior accordingly, that doesn't negate who you are and at the same time communicates to others the nice person that you are.<br /><br />If you did this, and you can if you choose to, what would your relationships and your life look like then? What would be possible, for you?<br /><br />Do share with me what you learn, what you do, and how that impacts you. I would love to hear. You can write to me at: <br /><br />vinay.vk.kumar@gmail.com.<br /><br />All the best to you,<br /><br />VinayVinay Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005801577550581066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102897650629290175.post-1412246011817959192012-01-25T01:44:08.178-05:002012-01-25T01:44:08.178-05:00I LOVE THIS...

I'm such an introvert, and recently was told by my brother that I'm "wrong" for not talking to my relatives the way he does...I'm just not talkative, but of course that comes off as "bitchy".. I've been criticized for being quiet for a decade (I'm 21), and it's terrible to have to go through that, feeling like something is "wrong with you"..when actually, I'm a nice, friendly person with deep, meaningful thoughts... sometimes I don't know what to do with myself. It's so great to read articles/blogs like this though. Just to know I'm not alone in this is so comforting...thank you so much for blogging this.

What I...Thanks for your thoughtful comments Donna.<br /><br />What I have learned is that when we say yes to something we really don't want to, we do a disservice to both ourselves AND to the other party for then we don't give our very best. So better to say no then to take it on and not give it our best.<br /><br />As for saying no at work, I like your approach. In addition, what you can also try is saying: I can do that if...and then state what that if is and preferably it's in a form of a request. This leads to dialogue, exploration and opens up possibilities,for both sides, rather then close them. <br /><br />Donna, thanks for reading my posts. I really enjoy and appreciate your thoughtful comments on my posts. <br /><br />Thank you and Happy New Year to you.Vinay Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005801577550581066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102897650629290175.post-44735211992771732402012-01-03T00:42:08.674-05:002012-01-03T00:42:08.674-05:00What a powerful blog.

I know from personal experience every time I have overextended myself by saying 'yes' because I was told 'you are the only one that can do this' or 'we just need you for a few hours each month' that I find myself regretting it. But when I pause, reflect and identify why or why not I should take on a project, I can answer with clarity 'yes' or 'no'. And I have found that saying 'no' does not mean an organization won't come back around to ask you again at a later date. I believe it helps them to respect me as an individual who understands and respects my own time.<br /><br />At work, saying 'no' is a bit more difficult; however, I do find that it is okay to ask a series of questions such as: When is this due? When do you need this by? Or can this wait until tomorrow? If the answer to any of these questions are 'no' it helps me to prioritize my projects and communicate to others that I need to set aside their project to fit in something that is a bit more urgent.<br /><br />So in my book, saying NO is respecting YES as it makes me more productive and valued.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102897650629290175.post-26845798491549764232012-01-03T00:41:52.398-05:002012-01-03T00:41:52.398-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102897650629290175.post-9418439421433881262011-12-24T17:20:36.806-05:002011-12-24T17:20:36.806-05:00Hi Vinay,

I liken this to my letting go, clearing spaces - whether that is physical (removing clutter, donating items, etc), emotional/spiritual (letting go of an old belief that is no longer working or a toxic relationship), physical (taking care of my health for a better future) or being a quiet leader (letting others lead and I support) and the list goes on. We are in constant change in our lives. I am finding that I do better when I embrace with a positive attitude rather than a "can't work" attitude. As a result, I am learning that change can be good - even if I don't see the good at the moment - so I suggest to others - breathe deeply, take charge with a velvet glove and let change happen. Amazing things can happen when you do (I know it is happening to me now!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102897650629290175.post-32485986397088460682011-12-12T10:54:17.159-05:002011-12-12T10:54:17.159-05:00Vinay,
