33. The Power of Introverts in an Extrovert World | TEDTalk by Susan Cain

No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

Would you believe it if we told you that we have an introvert friend who is really quiet but did something major like delivered a TEDTalk to hundreds of people. Would you believe us? It's true!

Well, sort of. Today we share with you a TEDTalk from our friend (in our head) and the Queen of introversion, Susan Cain. Susan's TEDTalk has attracted over 10M views on YouTube, and in it she argues that introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world that should be celebrated and encouraged; not shamed.

Susan also talks about:

• The typical biases and labels associated with introversion
• The tendency of introverts to go out of our way to fit in or be accepted, instead of putting ourselves in the zone of stimulation that works for us
• The love and value introverts place on community and collaboration, but the need to balance that with solitude and reflection
• Introverts' pursuit of passion and drive to do what is right which sometimes puts us in the spotlight, even if uncomfortable
