Jill Chang

"Jill is living proof that introverts can thrive in the workplace. . . . A must-have book for today's quiet warriors." —Susan Cain, New York Times–bestselling author of Quiet and Quiet Power

 

How does a self-described "extreme introvert" thrive in a world where extroverts are rewarded and social institutions are set up in their favor? Using her extraordinary personal story, Jill Chang shows that introverts hold tremendous untapped potential for success. Chang describes how she succeeded internationally in fields that are filled with extroverts, including as an agent for Major League Baseball players, a manager of a team across more than twenty countries, and a leading figure in international philanthropy.

 

Instead of changing herself, she learned to embrace her introversion, turning it from a disadvantage to the reason she was able to accomplish great goals. She offers advice on the best jobs for introverts, overcoming the additional difficulties language and cultural barriers can present, thriving at social events and business presentations, leveraging the special leadership traits of introverts, and much more. Part memoir and part career guide, this book gives introverts the tools to understand how they can form relationships, advance in the career path, excel in cross-cultural workplaces, and navigate business settings without compromising comfort or personality.

 

"Readers will find this book both practical and inspiring." —Jennifer B. Kahnweiler, PhD, author of The Introverted Leader, Quiet Influence, and The Genius of Opposites

 

"Chang provides solid strategies to help . . . introverts shine in their own quiet way." —Sophia Dembling, author of The Introvert's Way and Introverts in Love

 

"An invaluable resource." —Laurie Helgoe, PhD, author of Introvert Power
