You may or may not know the difference of the more introverted or extroverted preferences in each of us. Related to everyday business success, the more introverted we are, generally the quieter we might be.   When an introvert recognizes they can count on their introvert advantages and then tweak some extroverted behaviors to be successful at getting their ideas heard in business, their strengths will prevail. They will want to steep themselves in ideas they can act on to more easily help them communicate confidently. Listen to an overview of everything the introvert has needed to succeed in everyday business situations. Patricia Weber understands the possible difficulty of being an introvert in business, and has made it her mission to build the confidence of the more introverted, and communicate the necessary skills to succeed.   Since 2007 she is recognized internationally, on radio and in print, for most things introvert. Followers of her blog at http://patricia-weber.com comment regularly that her messages both resonate with them, and inspire them. Featured in numerous publications such as Entrepreneur, Training, Wall Street Journal, her current book, Communication Toolkit for Introverts: Find your voice in everyday business situations, released in December 2014, is something a publisher asked her to write – imagine.   She supports introverts who want more energy and vitality to live life at full throttle with her speaking, coaching and books. If you are fed up with the often, uncomfortable extrovert rules, or tired of being tired, be ready to be inspired.
