Description

In her role as a life coach and self-professed introvert, Kate James has heard hundreds of clients tell her the same story. They are smart, creative, motivated and engaged, but they can't seem to get a seat at the big table, particularly in their working lives. They don't speak up, put themselves forward, ask for rewards, or set boundaries with louder, bossier people. In Quietly Confident, Kate shows us how to see introversion as a superpower rather than an impediment. Drawing on examples from her own practice, stories from popular culture and the latest research, Kate guides readers to a greater knowledge and understanding of their introvert's toolkit. This includes intuition, insight, emotional intelligence and creativity. Here, Kate encourages us towards a deeper appreciation of how to value and use these qualities in an era where those with the loudest voices (and most followers) seem to always come out on top. Written with compassion and humour, Quietly Confident is a must-have guide for realising your strengths, claiming your worth and making your mark on the world.
