Introvert and Extrovert
You are an Extrovert or not?
Are you one of those individuals that are stimulated by being around two other people never enough people parties are big you love to meet people every day well chances are you're an extrovert now again we studied introverts last week and we're going to talk about extroverts this week and again nobody is a pure extrovert or pure introvert you have to know and understand who you are but the purpose of this today is just really to talk about the behaviors of extroverts and to know that if you're not one kind of to understand who they are and how to work best with them or understand them so extroverts get energized by people no people are enough they love meeting people so even if you think about it's Friday night and those are the individuals they have a long week and it's raring to go and they're ready to see more people let's have a party let's get together.
Understanding Extrovert:
Let's go to the event they're ready to go now that's an extrovert now again not everybody's a full extra myself by the time it's Friday night even though I'm an extrovert sometimes I might want to take some time to just meet with a few people because I've had a full week and I want to wind down even though I'm an extrovert I still like that personal one-on-one or small group interaction so you really have to find out what's best for you but in in general extroverts do get energized by people they love to be expressive so where introverts stop and pause before they think extroverts have a tendency to have a little bit more free-flowing conversation they're talking they're expressing themselves you might find them backing up a little bit more in their words because they're like oh yeah well what I meant was because they're flowing expressively not as concrete about some of their things they're a little bit more abstract in their thinking in there and they're verbalizing also they're much more emotional in terms of being able to express their emotions and speak about their emotions and words they're okay to be caught off guard they're the spontaneous one who calls you and say hey you want to go do this or you want to go do that or they'll be in the middle of a meeting and say hey why don't we do this and so there were the ones who are really pulling people in and they're the ones who are really connecting with people all the time so when we think about extroverts you know those of us who are extroverts you think about that that cup and it's are full in your day their cup gets fuller and fuller and fuller by adding more people more expressiveness more emotion to it if they are put in an environment.
Being a Good Extrovert:
Where that's not the case or it's not acceptable that won't be good for an extrovert let me give you an example in a work environment where I was at it was a group of actuaries and most actuaries you would think well if you go to their type of work most of them would be introverts but I had one who was not an introvert he was an expert but he was still very smart so for him he would need to get up every so often he'd start talking to people well the rest of the working group wasn't that and so they thought he was distracting and he was needs to really focus on his work and that kind of thing well for him he needed to get up and get energized because he was at a cubicle by himself and after so much processing he really needed to have some time to reenter gize himself by going out and speak to people so I helped to guide him to maybe go find a department of people who like to do that like marketing maybe your sales are a place that they'd like to be connecting with people all the time too instead of just acting those who are not you know as extroverted so it's really understanding about you as an individual and those around you and what they need so another way in terms of a work environment for extroverts they are the people who love to be pulled in on main meeting spontaneously they're the ones that you can grab and say hey can we go do this and usually they're pretty good especially if there's gonna be a group of people around them again.
How Extrovert Thinks:
The worst thing to do for them would be to put them in a cubicle I'm doing work all day long by themselves and so hopefully if you're an extrovert you haven't chosen a career like that if you have you might be feeling a little bit uncertain and disengaged and really it might not be that you don't like the work it might just be your interaction with the amount of people or spontaneity that you don't get so what you do have a tendency to do is you have a tendency to go find that elsewhere so like I said at the end of a Friday night if you haven't had enough you really need a lot but just go ask your Estero depends not your defense because they're probably home and wanting to be alone and have more of a quiet conversation that's deeper and meaningful so for positive charge this week I want you to think are you next revert if you are are you getting enough of what you need and for those who aren't extroverts how do you really think about who those extroverts are and what they need as they need more of that people time so again our personalities are so special in a unique and some of us are a little bit of both and some of us are fully extroverts fully introverts extroverts you need that energy you need that enthusiasm you need that connection with people you need to be able to verbalize your expressions and so make sure you get that and those of you who need to work with them make sure you give them what you need even though you need to be aware of what you need and have that conversation together thanks for joining us today and remember to get your mind on.
