Energized: An Introvert's Guide to Effective Communication

Energized: An Introvert's Guide to Effective Communication is a collection of simple but powerful techniques to communicate dynamically and effectively.

The ideas expressed in the book are useful for anyone who wishes to improve their ability to convince, negotiate and express themselves convincingly and authentically. It is particularly tailored to those who struggle with confidence or who find it draining and challenging to "put themselves out there".

"Energized" has a very simple philosophy: play to your strengths. To be noticed as an effective communicator it isn't necessary to pretend to be the most confident, extroverted person in the room.

Rather than forcing yourself to communicate in a way that feels forced, it is far better to feel energized, authentic and in your most productive "zone" as a communicator. This book explores how you can arrive at a more authentic and sustainable set of strategies where you harness your introspective traits and preferences and make them actually work for you.

Filled with exercises and case studies, Energized: An Introvert's Guide to Effective Communication aims to help you develop a practical toolbox of techniques and behaviors which get you noticed as an assertive, informed and convincing communicator.

Some of the topics covered include:
- active listening
- dispute resolution
- working with and managing your boss
- managing fear in presentations
- how to quickly "shape" your arguments for maximum impact
- building one-on-one relationships: the power of trust
- the power of threes in negotiation
- avoiding being micromanaged
- maximizing your creativity
- how to network as an introvert

and much more.

Energized is the first part of an upcoming series of practical "how-to" style books focusing on being the best you can be and maximizing your career potential.
