Posted at 03:35h, 11 Aprilas an introvert, I really appreciated this topic. I think in group work situations, I have sometimes been overly formal or professional, focusing more on the work than the people I work with, But I’m learning to appreciate my strengths as an introvert and be more open with my heart. Thanks for the podcast.
