Coaching Tip - Top 3 Ways Introverts Increase Power by Being True to Their Nature
My pastor used a powerful metaphor in talking about Lessons We Can Learn From The Recession. Stay with me even if you don’t believe in God because you may find your own personal power about to be lifted.
When we feel positive and confident about our lives we’re like a beaker totally filled with clear fluid. When you look closer, there could be sediment at the beaker bottom; like a perceived weakness. Notice when the beaker is bumped that sediment combines with the clearer water and disappears. Why would an introvert want to become more like an extrovert when all the power is already within them?
Learning. Jonathan Rauch, author of the timeless Caring for Your Introvert, wrote, “I love long conversation and explore intimate thoughts and passionate interests.” Doesn’t going deep and wide on any subject fuel our social skill and need to learn? Take breaks from study certainly; breaks recharge us. A break also has the added benefit of developing other parts of you.
Peak productivity. Preferring to work by ourselves we benefit from staying focused, a key in peak performance. When it’s time to pull together with a team, we can do it. Yes we have to use those more extroverting social skill that we know, and that may tire us out. Stay focused: you can learn to balance the alone time with team time.
Creativity. Our approach is we focus longer and think well on our own, so we have the energy to put out creatively in anything we do. Remember those long term memories we have? And a preference for quiet time to concentrate? Bring those together for a "creative creativity" to any situation. You don't have to be an introverted CEO to be creative. You can be a CIO - Creative Introvert Officer.
Introvert or extrovert, as individuals we are like the fluid and the sediment in the beaker. Why would you want to go from introvert to extrovert, or remove the sediment from the clear fluid? Some would argue, that can't be done anyway. Introverts can learn any skills they need, focus on the task and then as a high school teacher once told me, “be quietly effective.”
Whether you believe in God in not, extroverts and introverts who use their gifts have a personal power to use.

I found #4 particularly true in my case:
4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks.
As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.
Re: Web Idea
- Hi Som,
Welcome aboard.
Almost everything that I can add is already mentioned by the ever-active, respected members of the Forum. But I would like to bring it to your attention that whenever we have our idea and nurture it for long, it becomes something like our baby and we are all possessive about that. True. Now the question is that as we are mostly possessive of our idea how far can we go about it? I mean, you say your idea is fresh as morning coffee. True to you but have you researched and actually tried to find out the feasibility part of it? I have also been a programmer and as such I feel that many of the ideas that we have generally look seemingly better in book but when it comes to reality, there is a difference.
So I would recommend you to re-consider the idea. Not as Som but as someone who is a client of the idea. Please step into the shoes and find out whether you would go for the product as a client! If yes, then lets start with doing a market research and the follow up with the other formalities. Reason being that its getting late and the Coffee may lose its freshness!
Good Luck,
