As leaders we are not strangers to stress. Whether it’s managing staff, budgets, operations, or our personal lives, it can sometime be a bit much. All this may lead to us chasing the mythical work-life balance. But how? Those of us who are introverts are another puzzle – a lot of the advice given out that is aimed at extroverts and may not apply to us. So, what do we do? We find out what our unique needs are and how they relate to our optimum functioning; this is the antidote to stress. Together we’ll look at how optimum functioning, needs, and stress are related and ways to find out what our needs are so that we can function at our best and avoid succumbing to stress.

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.
After conducting a few focus groups, we noticed common and similar challenges Quiet Leaders face.
Based on the feedback we got from most of you, we created a Masterclass that addresses the key challenges you are facing such as:
☑ You struggle to find your voice in meetings, groups and networking events.
☑ Overshadowed by louder more assertive personality types.
☑ You feel pressured to act extroverted.

In today’s world it often seems like the loudest one gets the last word in. As Quiet Leaders it can seem like a daunting task to be “heard” when everyone around us is yelling. If you’ve identified yourself as a Quiet Leader then you’re already in tune with what makes you tick, and how you can effectively chart a path to the success you desire no matter what others are doing around you.
But what if you don’t fit exclusively in either the introvert or extrovert club? What if you’re someone who loves their downtime to recharge, but also enjoys the energy and connection you get from people? What if you are naturally assertive and enthusiastic in some situations, but at the same time you can listen carefully to avoid appearing too over the top?
You my friend might be an ambivert…and the reality is that most of us are in some form or another!
Through this engaging and inspiring workshop, learn how to tap into your power as a Quiet Leader by embracing your personality traits as an introvert, extrovert, ambivert and everything in between!

One of the primary reasons top leaders are able to make tough decisions is because they have learned to trust their intuitive instincts. Bill Gates says, "Often you have to rely on intuition."
Some people seem to have a stronger sense of intuitive skills than others (Ni personality type), I do believe that any leader can learn to be more intuitive. It is simply a matter of learning to trust your heart when it speaks to you.
Our September guest speaker Susan Lee Woodward is a Medical Intuitive, Laughter Yoga Facilitator, Reiki Practitioner/Teacher and Meditation Facilitator. Voted one of the top 25 Intuitives in Vancouver by Crowd Wellness.
She believes that Intuition is a skill that everyone has but not everyone uses to its fullest potential. Trusting and using your intuition benefits your relationships with intimate partners, friends, business partners, and co-workers. Most importantly it improves the relationship you have with yourself!
Join us on September 20th to learn about intuition and how to access it.

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.
