Question from Laura:

I m an introvert. Plain and simple! And I find it challenging to engage in conversation but, my direct coach has advised me that regardless of my nature the needs of the business requires that I become more extroverted and continue to go out of my personal comfort zone when it comes to leadership as in the end its not about what makes me comfortable but, more so on what makes the team comfortable and what works with them. Although I agree that i should be less intense and be more vocal I also firmly believe that the worst advice that you can give someone of an introverted nature is to become more extroverted. While I understand that the needs of the business and the team should trump my own I would appreciate some advice on how to do this and be less shy or unsure while doing so.
