A self-proclaimed introvert herself, Susan Cain argues that our culture holds a bias toward the Extrovert Ideal (the alpha personality—gregarious and highly verbal) while undervaluing the strengths of introverts (reflectiveness, persistence, and sensitivity), and how much we lose in doing so.
Many of the greatest achievers of the 20th century were introverts: Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Warren Buffett, and Mahatma Gandhi, to name a few. Without introverts, the world would have missed out on the Apple computer, the Theory of Relativity, and The Cat in the Hat.
Cain shows us how to change the way we work, lead, and teach in order to tap the abundant strengths of the quieter half of the population.
Ms. Cain was interviewed by Angie Kim, a law school friend.
The speakers were introduced by Jackie Levanthal and Liz Sher.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
