Leveraging Your Introversion as a Career Strength | August 29

"Everyone shines, given the right lighting." - Susan Cain, award-winning author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.

Introverts are often perceived to be shy or anxious people, which is a misconception.
