Smart Networking Radio: January 2010 Archives

In today's tough economy and ruthlessly competitive job market, nobody can afford to go unnoticed. Too often, introverts get passed over while their chattier -- although not necessarily more gifted -- colleagues get the jobs and the promotions. 

But it doesn't have to be that way, according to business communication coach Nancy Ancowitz, author of an excellent new book called Self-Promotion for Introverts. Step-by-step she shows you how to find your voice, jump start your visibility, promote yourself without bragging, and use your introverted preferences to your advantage.

If you've ever worried that being an introvert has kept you from getting hired, getting promoted, or getting clients for your business, make Nancy's book your bible for overcoming obstacles and crafting a plan to get the recognition you deserve.

As an introvert myself, I agree with Nancy that it doesn't have to be a liability, and in fact, it can be a great asset. So I'm thrilled that on Tuesday, January 19th, she'll be joining me on Smart Networking Radio to share sage advice to help introverts learn how to succeed with their own style. 

She may even spill a few secrets she learned from HR and leadership experts such as uber investor Warren Buffett, basketball star Magic Johnson, Hearst Magazines president Cathie Black, former president Bill Clinton, and marketing guru Seth Godin.
