5 Success Tips for Introvert Women

Sponsored by Influence.co:

Being an introvert in a society flooded with extroverts isn’t easy, particularly for women in this male-dominated society. Although introvert women are often ignored or overlooked, most of the time, the best performers are introverts.

However, society, which belongs to the extroverts who are the center of the spotlight, always sends negative vibes towards the introvert women. Those negative vibes highly affect their confidence in stepping up and presenting themselves in business. They’re often kept under the shade of the extroverts.

To flourish personally and professionally in this society, introvert women must follow some of these success tips:

Step Out of Your Shell

Although it’s demanding for introvert women to open up in front of any person, this is crucial for them to step out of their shells and progress in business. They need to find their voices to make their colleagues aware of their presence and to appreciate the skills they possess.

Lessen Your Boundaries

It’s hard to expect introvert women to lessen their boundaries and let people in. But again, to have success and flourish, women should drop their barricades and let people converse with them. You can have exceptional business ideas; you can have mind-blowing solutions for problems, but to convey those ideas and let people hear your voice, you need to let people in. Only then will they know your name.

Enhance Your Skills

Introverts always appear as people who listen and observe closely and pick up the most critical points. This is one of the best characteristic of introverts. Introvert women can surely make this trait useful in their professional lives. Their keen listening skills can help them pick out points which other extroverts so easily miss. Enhancing these unique skills more can give them great benefits in their professional lives.

Don’t Miss a Chance to Stand-Out in the Crowd of Extroverts

If you have any idea, don’t miss the chance to present it in a meeting. Don’t let the extroverts be the focus of the meeting. Speak up, take part in the meeting, and let your colleagues feel your presence.

If you want to be confident in your skills and even more confident in presenting yourself and you want to enhance this skill find out more on influence.co. Don’t just sit tight and listen. Take part in the conversation. Only then you can stand out among the extroverts.

Don’t Let Anyone Use You

There may come a time when people will take advantage of you. They’ll use some nice touchy words, and they’ll use you for their own benefits because you’re an introvert and you won’t do anything with these skills of yours. Don’t let them do it. If you’re capable of doing something unique, do it for yourself. Just because you’re an introvert and a woman, don’t let them take advantage of that. Step out and put your best foot forward in making your name known among the extroverts.

    Looks to me like the author is mixing up introversion with shyness and with not having good boundaries. And that first tip – yikes. Step out of your shell – basically equals saying “just stop already.” Really? That’s a success tip? Just stop?

    I agree with you, David. I shared my five success tips for business women here on Women on Business earlier this year. I think a lot of people confuse introversion with shyness. I think it’s not about stepping out of your shell or lessening your boundaries. I think it’s about understanding what makes you uncomfortable and finding ways to excel in those situations despite your discomfort (or pursuing a career that keeps you out of those uncomfortable situations to the greatest extent possible).

    I agree with the other two comments.
    The person who wrote this is basically saying suck it up and become an extrovert!
