Summary

A few months ago, we spun up a Hello Monday community group on LinkedIn. (You can join it here.) When we asked people to introduce themselves by sharing five things not on their LinkedIn profiles, a LOT of community members - more than half - self-identified as introverts. And that made us want to take a closer look at introversion. Enter Susan Cain, author of the longtime best-seller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking and the more recent bestseller, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole. In this conversation, Susan and Jessi talk about why it’s so helpful to know where on the introvert-extrovert spectrum you land, how introverts can make the most of today’s office norms, and touch on the connection we all share when we experience the fragility of life. Follow Susan Cain on LinkedIn. For more on her work, check out her books, Quiet and Bittersweet, her course, and her newsletter. Follow Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn and order her debut memoir. Join the Hello Monday community: Subscribe to the Hello Monday newsletter, and join us on the LinkedIn News page for Hello Monday Office Hours, Wednesdays at 3p ET.
