Bold Introvert Philosophy


 

“I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it is for introverts to take stock of their own talents, and how powerful it is when they finally do.”

- Susan Cain

 

 

It is my belief that introverts will save the world. Full. Stop. The introverts among us possess a wellspring of visionary ideas, careful and deliberate thoughts, and creative innovations that the world needs, now more than ever. I also believe that the term “bold introvert” is not a contradiction. It is my mission to help introverts who have something to say. If you have a vision you need to bring into the world and are trying to find your way through the noise, I want to guide you. I will help you define your desire, make a plan, and take bold actions that will push you outside your comfort zone but allow you to always remain true to who you are.

When introverts feel empowered to use their strengths and gifts, the impact is profound. Without bold introverts we wouldn’t have our modern understanding of physics, advances in global human rights (Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, Mohandas Gandhi, Mother Teresa—all introverts), or Harry Potter. I for one am grateful for all of these things. I’m also grateful to have the knowledge that my gift is helping others expand theirs.

I approach coaching and life with the same belief: science + art = wonder. There is a science and an art to leveraging your strengths to create a bold vision for your life. In coaching, I use both to help you understand your personality and how it functions so you can move your visions from idea to reality while remaining true to yourself and your core values.

The process that I have created is based on years of research and lived experience as a quiet creative. It’s a system that curates what I see as the most useful ideas, concepts, and theories from fields including positive psychology, typology and the study of temperament and personality, leadership development, cognitive neuroscience, creativity studies, narrative impact and storytelling, social justice, and more. My breadth of interests in people and how they function partnered with a voracious appetite for learning has created a perfect storm of knowledge that helps creative introverts realize how dynamic they are and how much value they have to offer.

I am always researching and always learning and I will continue to bring new knowledge and experience to Bold Introvert so that I am the best coach I can be for every one of you.
