Searching for a job can make even the most optimistic, extraverted person lose confidence on what steps to take.

Being prepared for an introvert is to feel empowered to create your own career destiny.

At this event you will learn how to manage recruitment calls, your career, your professional brand - all the way through to managing offers and the first 100 days of your new job. 

Join international speaker Caroline Stokes, an executive headhunter and certified executive coach to learn how you can manage your career today.

One of our strengths as introverts is our ability to be quiet, allowing us to listen, be reflective and notice things others may not. But being quiet and having a quiet mind are not the same thing. Introverts, although seemingly calm from the outside, are not immune to an active mind, stress or anxiety.

In an age of distraction and technology speeding up, now is a time where a quiet mind is needed more than ever. Through meditation, we cultivate a valuable skill for every aspect of life, the ability to quiet our mind. A still and quiet mind allows us to live and work with more inner peace, clarity and creativity, to recharge more effectively, while deepening connections with family and friends.

In this talk you will learn how many of the inherent traits of introverts are a stepping stone to something more profound. We will do various exercises, including meditate, to take this from a theoretical idea to something very tangible and practical. 

Do you feel like your career path or leadership effectiveness is somehow hindered by your temperament? Are you overlooked for leadership roles because of your quiet nature? Do you feel overshadowed by your gregarious colleagues? Do you feel pressured to go against your authentic self to get recognized?

You're not alone - about 50% of all leaders are introverts, yet our working environments favor the extrovert, the outspoken, bold and assertive. These traits have changed our definition of leadership and altered our assumptions about what good performance looks like. And while many studies have shown introverts are natural born leaders, many business cultures often make it impossible to thrive.

This month, we have a special guest speaker who will share his perspective on this topic. Karl Moore is a professor at McGill University and a fellow of Green Templeton College, Oxford University. Dr. Moore taught at Oxford for 5 years before he came to McGill. His current research is on Introverts and Extroverts as Leaders in the Executive Suite. Based on over 300 interviews of C-Suite executives he argues that in today’s world both extroverts and introverts are needed as leaders.

Karl is currently writing a book for Stanford University Press, Introvert/Ambivert/Extrovert Leaders, In this project he is working with Susan Cain’s Quiet Leadership Institute.

Introverts tend to spend a lot of time in their heads, and that sometimes can back fire if we are not conscious of a healthy balance between mind and body. Staying in the head can lead to analysis paralysis. 

Sonic Therapy™ helps you to slow the inner dialogue, create headspace and reconnect to your body by dropping in and tapping into the deepest desire of your heart. It allows you to become more present and in touch with your feelings.
