024 - The Secret Strengths of Introverts (+ Survival Tips for Teachers)
Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Society often makes us feel like we are one or the other, but in reality, these personality traits are two opposite ends of a spectrum, and most of us fall somewhere in the middle (source).
I’ll admit it took me a while to figure this out for myself. When I realized what I was feeling was a natural part of being an introvert, I planned my days and weeks differently. I became aware of how and when I used my social energy and I was much more intentional about rest and alone time.
The secret is to use your natural strengths. And that’s what we’re going to talk about today.
