Ignore the Labels and Do What Fits Your Personality
I read some advice from a business coach that really ticked me off: it advised coaches to “stop hiding behind your telephone and computer...” OK, so perhaps I am being oversensitive, because I do spend a lot of time in front of my computer and I prefer coaching by phone. The thing is, I am not hiding! I spend the bulk of my business time on the computer because: 1) I like it. 2) I am not limited by geography – I can connect to someone on any continent.

The 3 Hidden Benefits of Limiting Beliefs
Unless you are extremely advanced in your personal development path, you have some limiting beliefs. We all do. You know, the kind of beliefs that either stop you in your tracks, hold you back, or slow you down. The kind of beliefs that you typically do not verbalize, perhaps because you are not aware of them on a conscious level. Yet, even when we are aware of our limiting beliefs and we realize we want to change them, or let them go; we find it really hard to do so. Why is that?

Who Do You Think You Aren't?
That’s not a typo in the title. I’m asking you to pause for a minute or more (given how much we introverts like to reflect), and ask yourself: ”Who am I not?” Make a list of 10-20 attributes and/or personality traits that are not you. For example, I told myself for many years (and still do) that I am not an athlete or athletic, as I have been overweight and slow my entire life (also a little clumsy). Look over your list. You have just identified your perceived limitations.

Introverts: So Many Ideas, So Little Time
Creative people, introvert and extrovert alike, tend to be idea-generators. It’s fun; it’s inspiring and motivating to have an abundance of ideas and projects. However, the follow-through can sometimes be lacking, and then inspiration turns into frustration. Here are some tips (with my introvert-perspective): Q. I am a legal secretary, an introvert for the most part. I am ‘burning up’ inside to Do so much. However, with so many ideas I am unable to do anything. Hence I am literally stuck. I would therefore love some guidance. A. You are definitely not alone.

Introverts: Answer 8 Questions to Break Free from Perfectionism and Get it Done
I have a not-so-surprising confession to make: I’m a perfectionist. If my correspondence is any indication, many introverts share this trait (and I suspect many extroverts as well). Perfectionism serves us in many ways: it motivates us to make our best effort; it results in high-quality, accurate work; it fuels our self-esteem (who wants to think of herself as mediocre?).

Choose Your Course; Never Look Back
I can still recall this moment clearly, even though it happened over 20 years ago: I was leaving my first "corporate" job as a statistical programmer to work for a little start-up company (now known as Biogen Idec) as one of only two biostatisticians. It was a big leap in responsibility and skill level for me, and I was moving across country (Northern Califo ia to Cambridge, Massachusetts) to grab this opportunity to grow. Many people at the old job stopped by on my last day to give me their best wishes.

It’s Your Choice – Hand-Wringing or Strategizing
My youngest sister once told me (very insightfully)” “Face it, Jo; you’re not happy unless you have something to worry about. Once one worry is resolved, you just find something else to worry about.” She was absolutely right; I had to laugh at her observation. However it took someone else to point this out to me before I realized how much I let worry consume me. It was my habitual response to the unknown. I also realized that I did not want to maintain this habit anymore.

Sleep and the Introvert Brain
You may have read or heard the expression that "introverts are wired differently." That means, among other things, we process information differently than extroverts. According to Marti Olsen Laney in her book, The Introvert Advantage, the introvert's brain is "dominated by the long, slow ...
