The introvert trap 🫣

Any introverts here? 🙋‍♀️

My version of being introverted isn’t about being shy. It’s about my energy.

Being in large groups of people tends to drain my batteries (even if I enjoy it). I recharge when I’m on my own, or with one or two people I’m close to.

I work with a LOT of lawyers who resonate with that.

And there is POWER in being an introvert.

But I also want to give a word of caution.

Be careful about putting yourself in a box, that's hard to climb out of.

High-performance as a lawyer, especially as you step into more senior roles, includes a lot of relationship-building. Team and client development, building networks, potential leads etc.

There are MANY ways to go about it, but I guarantee it will be hard work if you have a story that says you don’t like it, or you’re not good at it, because of your PERSONALITY.

I told that story for a few years and It was NOT helpful.

Sure, I could take a bit of comfort from thinking it was just “who I am”. 🤷‍♀️

But it didn’t help me create results.

These days, I have strategies to manage my energy if I’m in large groups.

And my STORY is that I’m great at doing it.

Much less painful. Much more useful for performance and growth. 🔥
