"Funny and insightful, Meghan has written a true resource for any introvert seeking to break out of their shell and step into the spotlight." Dr. Ivan Misner, founder and CEO of Business Network International Are you an introvert who wants to succeed in the business world? Do you: Avoid unnecessary social interaction? Keep to yourself or to your small group of friends? Seek out time alone? Confessions of an Introvert offers you practical advice, interspersed with real-life stories, that will help you overcome your shyness and find ways to have a satisfying future in the corporate world. Packed with valuable insights and personal anecdotes, Confessions of an Introvert will teach you: Why business networking is the key to professional growth and how even the shyest person can learn how to network That a little self-promotion goes a long way in showing others how good a businessperson you are How to communicate with people in a way that is comfortable to you but still gets the results you need That being an introvert is just a part of who you are and not a serious roadblock to your success Confessions of an Introvert is a must-read for any introvert seeking to excel in business and get the most out of life. Meghan Wier is known for melding her professional style, keen business sense, and desire to share her work and life experiences with others. An introvert/forced-extrovert, her relationship-building savvy and strong marketing skills have made her a recognized expert in building through networking. Ms. Wier is an influential authority on business networking and marketing. From ForeWord Magazine (12/10/08): Networking is a big buzzword these days. People are joining networking Web sites and networking groups in the hopes of improving their career or social status, or simply expanding their social circle. Confessions of an Introvert: The Shy Girl's Guide to Career, Networking, and Getting the Most of Out Life helps women for whom networking and self-promotion don't come naturally. "[E]xtroverts gain energy from other people and introverts feel like they just get the energy sucked out of them by other people," author Meghan Wier writes. She is an expert on marketing and networking, and a self-proclaimed introvert. Wier insists that introverts can become charismatic speakers and great leaders. She helps readers along the way with sections on identifying sources of anxiety, building confidence in tough situations, becoming an expert in one's field, and organization. In order to make public speaking easier, she recommends that readers write down everything they dislike about speaking and why, then come up with actions that will offset each item.

I don‘t think I‘ve ever dropped a book in the bath because I only bathe when I‘m sick and trying to break a fever. Baths gross me out. 🤷🏻‍♂️
(I never read the tagged book and I doubt I will, just using for the title.)

jmofo @TheReadingMermaid 🖤 here‘s something else for you to laugh at: I have been calling Litsy “Listy” since I downloaded the app. Hearing you say it right showed me my error! 😬 Thanks for the shout out in your mail video, I learned something! 🖤🖤🖤 5y

One week in and I am so in love. My only issue is that EVERY time I take her out I have to have conversations with people because she is a social butterfly. She wants to say "Hi" to EVERYONE. I am not used to being sociable, Pickles!

RobinW She is adorable! 7y
MicheleinPhilly @RobinW THANK YOU! She is my love bug. 7y

Hmm. Yup! Good thing I have books on my phone 😉. But I like to think I'm ALL the types of book person. #buzzfeedquiz

celtichik Me too! 7y
Reecaspieces Before ebooks and smartphones, I used to pick a purse based on its ability to store books. 7y
Larkken @Reecaspieces me too! Still lots of duffel-bag sized purses in my closet 😅 7y

Irony: going to a party filled with writers and realizing you'd rather be home finishing your book.

(Related: writers can and do PARTY like they are still in their 20s.)

(Also related: I am old and turn into a pumpkin at 10:00 pm)

scripturient 😂 8y
Zelma Nice irony! 😄 and I completely understand turning into a pumpkin. I'm a night owl but overindulging is not as much fun anymore. I might make it through an evening, but then feel really old the next day. 😂 8y
Soubhiville I have a 10 PM off switch as well. 8y
LitHousewife We were out past 10 last night and I didn't like it, 😂 I want to be in bed with my book. I'm asleep by 11 most nights. I'm no longer the night owl I used to be. 8y
BookBr BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I am not going to admit how early I went to bed last night... 8y
