SUMMARY:Knowledge Share: Making Introversion Work
DESCRIPTION:This Knowledge Share has been generously sponsored by Opinion Hub \nThis Knowledge Share will be presented by Carol Raithatha\, Carol Raithatha Ltd.  \nIntroverts as compared to be extroverts can be defined as people who are more reflective\, prefer calm and quiet environments\, and get their energy from spending time alone. They may also be shy or reserved. This is at odds with our business environment which focuses on action\, speed\, networking\, and self-promotion. Being an introvert and a consultant can be difficult. But introverts have much to offer. \nThis Knowledge Share session will discuss a few typical ‘troubling’ type situations for introverts and suggest tips for working through those\, both from the point of view of an introverted person and from someone who is collaborating with introverts. We will finish off the session with a brief look at how tailored coaching can help introverts flourish at work. \nCarol Raithatha  \n \nCarol is the Director of Carol Raithatha Limited\, a consultancy specialising in food and drink research\, sensory evaluation\, qualitative and desk research\, and B2B approaches. In addition\, Carol Raithatha Limited offers coaching to research and related professionals. Carol is a strategic thinker with a pragmatic mindset. Carol holds an ILM Certificate in Effective Coaching and Mentoring\, an MBA\, and is a Certified Member of the MRS and a member of the ICG and AQR. \nCarol Raithatha Limited \nwww.carolraithatha.co.uk \nREGISTER FOR THIS SESSION HERE
