Presented by: Dr. Jeanine Cogan
Introversion touches all parts of our lives from our work life to love life. When coaches really understand what it means to be an introvert in an extrovert-oriented culture, we can encourage our introverted clients to thrive. Instead of viewing certain behaviors as problematic (like preferring to work alone versus in groups) these behaviors are part of an introverted style. There is no right and wrong. Good or bad. It just is. How liberating! Rather than urge introverts to become more extroverted as was the tendency in previous decades (reminiscent of urging left handed folks to become right handed, women to act more like men), we work with them to empower and claim who they are with dignity. And from that place – create the life they want!

Core competencies addressed
Jeanine’s webinar focuses on two of the three Core Coaching Sections. The first core competency of Co-creating the Relationship is addressed by teaching coaches that understanding and honoring introverts tendencies with acceptance is key to establishing Trust and Intimacy with the Client. Additionally, introverted coaches can easily call on their strengths of open receptive listening to create their coaching presence. The second and perhaps the most notable impact is in the core competency of Facilitating Learning and Results. When the coach learns how to create awareness of what it really means to be an introvert and designs actions and goals in a way that honors the style of the introvert then optimal results occur. And this is in harmony with the client. It brings out the best in the client (versus trying to change her).

Dr. Cogan created the blog the Intelligent Introvert to educate and empower introverts. Using the lens of the Intelligent Introvert to work with clients she has been blown away by how powerful this lens is for her clients. When introverts understand what all it means to be an introvert (which most of us don’t) and then to embrace and pitch to this style (rather than try and change who we are) breaks the social norms, and as one client described “is life changing and life saving!”
