If I Knew Then What I Know Now

“I have finally realized, to be happy I don’t need to change myself, I just need to be myself.”
-Steve Friedman

When I wrote my memoir, In Search of Courage, I realized that the common thread of introversion I thought was a curse all my life was actually a blessing. For years I wore a mask at work and coped with my stress by sacrificing my health and personal relationships. Now I embrace my own introversion as a toolkit to become a happier me.

My purpose is to help other introverts accelerate the process by which they discover their strengths and apply them to their personal and professional lives. I seek to inspire others to overcome past obstacles and find joy, pride, and confidence in life.

Hot Tips for 2023 & Exciting Changes for 2024!

Let's PIVOT Together

It's hard to believe that the Beyond Introversion website and blog began on July 11, 2019, nearly 4 1/2 years and 239 blogs later!

That August, one of my friends shared his concerns that my weekly posts would tap me out of topics soon. I chuckled as I felt assured my head held a plethora of ideas, concerns, and resources that I needed to purge and that others might benefit from.
