I've ...Love, love, love your tips and comments. I've used almost all of them at one time or another. I also set a goal for myself -- introduce myself to at least 5 people I do not know, ask someone I connected with to lunch or coffee, invite at least 10 people to a conference where I am speaking or coordinating, etc. -- anything that pushes me to reach out. And then at the end of the day/meeting, I do actually curl into a ball on my couch or climb into a bubble bath to quietly recharge.Gloria Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817056680560263695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-52719591201593967292019-08-13T12:02:59.520-04:002019-08-13T12:02:59.520-04:00So true.So true.Cindy Sproleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130661868473868599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-42725145611213705542019-08-13T10:58:37.688-04:002019-08-13T10:58:37.688-04:00It is a "switch" isn't it Ms. Cindy?...It is a "switch" isn't it Ms. Cindy? I love being my introverted self (turtled away in my little 'Shell of Solitude'), but to be effective as a leader, and as I am learning as a Christian writer, I have to be willing to put aside my natural tendencies and take the risk. Growing up sounding like Elmer Fudd (or Barry Krepke from The Big Bang Theory for young folks), it wasn't easy to open yourself up to embarrassment and ridicule. In the Christian world, for the most part, I found instead, support, love, and kindness. It's worth the risk!J.D. Winingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644930093144875164noreply@blogger.com
