Does being around people make you tired? You may like being with them, but you feel like all that talking and socializing drains your batteries. Depending on your personality people time can energize you or make you want to go home and not talk with anybody. I just read this blog post from an introvert. I get it, According to
the Myers Briggs Personality Assessment I am an Introvert. Yes, that is a big
surprise, a professional speaker and body language expert who is introverted. But many
performers are introverts. We love performing! Its enormous fun. It just means
for me that after I speak and socialize with my audience I need to take time that night or the next to recharge my batteries. I
do that by reading a book on the plane home! I love training on both the DISC Personality training and Myers Briggs Personality. It gives
great insights for teambuilding, sales, customer service and dealing with difficult
people. Here is link to another introvert's blog post.
