Power to the Introverts - and Extroverts! Webinar (10/25/18)

We’re hearing a lot about introverts these days – some of it is positive, some not so much. There are statistics floating around saying that about 25% - 35% of the general population are introverts…which means that a vast majority of people are extroverts.

However, some informal studies show that as many as 70% of those working in the library field are introverts. That’s not really surprising, is it? Introverts tend to like quiet – and although it’s true that libraries aren’t quite as quiet as they once were, many are still more quiet than other workplaces.

There are many myths surrounding the idea of being an introvert – they’re shy, don’t like to go out in public, don’t like talking to people – lots of things that simply aren’t true for most introverts. These myths, however, can create negative feelings from others. Myths also exist for extroverts – they’re loud, brash, “never met a stranger”-type people. Some are…some aren’t.

This 90-minute webinar is intended to help you really understand introverts and extroverts, as well as appreciate all the positive attributes they bring to your work environment.
