Tips and Tricks: Effective Communication

“We are born and culturally endowed with

certain personality traits — introversion, for

example — but we can and do act out of

character in the service of “core personal

projects.” In other words, introverts are capable

of acting like extroverts for the sake of work

they consider important, people they love, or

anything they value highly.”
