The Flourishing Introvert Talks
Even though around half of any population identify as introverts, this is one aspect of diversity and inclusion that is often overlooked. Every Thursday join flourishing introvert and TEDx speaker Joanna Rawbone MSc, as she explores the costly challenges that introverts face on a regular basis. With her typically pragmatic approach, Joanna’s show includes a mix of 10-minute topics, interviews with inspirational introverts and episodes on how to get the best from introverts.

In this episode, I explore the quiet power of contributing

Whether it’s a goal, a job or a relationship, course-correcting isn’t failure, it’s feedback. A favourite parable brings home why true leadership lies in the willingness t
Let us explore the often-overlooked power of silence, particularly in the context of introverted communication.
