Tackling Extraversion Bias
to unlock the potential of Introverts
The bias towards Extraversion leaves up to 50% of the talent in a business exhausted by pretending, in order to fit in, or frustrated that their natural qualities are undervalued.
The irrefutable neurodiversity that underlies Introversion and Extraversion is still widely misunderstood. And the existence of scientific evidence of the neurological basis for this diversity is often denied.
Little wonder, then, that the world of work and business practices are routinely biased towards Extraversion. In this heartfelt talk, Joanna identifies some of the most obvious business practices that are biased, which many Introverts will instantly recognise. She outlines the negative consequences of these practices which include the impact on productivity, well-being and diversity. For businesses that are ready to level the playing field in order to honour this aspect of diversity for true inclusion, she outlines her 3-step process to reduce and ultimately eliminate this bias and its negative consequences.
She urges organisations to take positive action and encourages introverts to own their strengths and step into their power.
Episode 345 – Got a drawer full of mental receipts somewhere? The ones that supposedly prove we did something we regret, are ashamed of, or wish we had done differently? I know I have. But what if the meaning we have attached to those experiences is not quite the reality, and some of those receipts have simply become outdated? I am experimenting with sorting mine by the value they add, rather than the volume I have accumulated. With a little help from Lagom and Transactional Analysis, I am asking which ones are worth keeping. Have a listen to Episode 345 of The Flourishing Introvert Talks and see what you might discover in your own mental drawer.
Episode 344 – Have you ever noticed that your permission seeking has quietly shifted from asking whether it is OK to do something into asking whether it is OK to be yourself? That is what I have been exploring in this episode, using my NIPPA process to make sense of what I have been avoiding. I share how permission seeking was drilled into me, how it eventually showed up in some rather uncomfortable ways, and the rather bonkers realisation that the permission of a random stranger who knew naff all about me could carry more weight than my own. These days, my permission is where I look first.
Episode 343 – What is yours to change, and what have you quietly decided is your job to sort out? I have been thinking about how easily we can move from being dependable to taking responsibility for things that are not actually ours. Sometimes the thing we need to change is within us. Sometimes it is our behaviour, our environment, or something much bigger. And sometimes putting away everyone else’s metaphorical shoes is simply a very convenient way of avoiding our own. In this episode, I explore where our responsibility begins, where it ends, and where becoming braver comes in.
