Ep 241 Breaking Through the Extraversion Bias

  Summary   If you are an introvert, I can almost guarantee that you have experienced bias. This episode is all about the prevalent extroversion bias within organisations. Our societal preferences for traits like chattiness and outward displays of confidence can mean that we are sidelined and our contributions go unheard.   I bravely explore bias we introverts are subjected to in environments that favour extravert behaviours – from being overlooked for promotions to feeling excluded from key projects.   It is time that we recognise and confront these biases rather than allowing them to hinder career progress.   Key Points Recognising organisational Extraversion Bias Strategies to highlight Introvert Strength Taking initiative to bringing about an inclusive change   Resources   What Type of Introvert are you?
