I always like having a scoot around the Forbes website as they have some great articles. This week is no exception as ForbesWoman, Jenna Goudreau has written a great little article called The Secret Power of Introverts.The article raises an interesting thought, she believes the world today is geared to extroverts, in business we recruit with an extrovert bias and in schools we educate from an extrovert perspective.
Now ConnectingDots was formed by Una and Caroline, an introvert and extrovert pairing if ever there was one (we will leave you to work out which is which). Far from creating conflict or causing chaos, this pairing of opposites really works for us. Whilst the 'Exxy' is out there bouncing ideas and creating a tsunami of possibility, the 'inny' is able to mull the ideas (as the 'Exxy' moves onto the next exciting thing), ask the questions that give it substance and provide the infrastructure to anchor the ideas. The 'Exxy' is fantastic at meeting new people, building relationships and exciting passion and interest. The 'inny' is able to put the detail in place to ensure that level of confidence is maintained and the relationship sustained.
With the two different perspectives you might ask, what is it that binds us together so successfully. Well the answer for us is shared values, with this perspective there is plenty of space in the world for both of us!
