An Introvert's Guide to Pursuing Bold Moves – from an “Occupational Extrovert”

Does being an introvert make it harder to pursue bold moves?

This interesting question led me to Kate Grantham. She’s an independent event producer behind some of the most well-recognized events in the world: the Super Bowl, SAG Awards, and Sundance Film Festival to name a few.

She’s a self-proclaimed occupational extrovert, meaning that her career requires her to “turn it on” and be extremely energetic while producing corporate events (sometimes she’s on-site for 10-12 hours at a time!), but she’s an introvert at heart.

We explore this interesting dynamic – when your bold move requires you to be a different version of yourself, how do you handle that?

Kate takes us inside her process of managing being an introvert in an extroverted career and dispels a few myths about being an introvert who makes bold moves like why relationship-building may actually be easier for introverts.

You will also learn how Kate built her event production business, KIG Events, and what the difference maker was for her to continue staying on this path.

If you’re an introvert who feels like you’re living in an extrovert’s world, this episode is for you.

If you have introverts on your team, this episode will help you understand their preferences so you can be a better colleague or manager.
