Those who have known me for years, know that I was an introvert growing up until I was a junior in high school running for class president. Yes, that surprises people! I had lots of friends across different groups (we can call them different ecosystems), but I was a relatively introspective person. Becoming class president was a catalyst in my becoming an extrovert – which my colleagues and friends recognize me as today. Why do I bring that up? Because over my career I leverage my introvert strengths, my analytical side and my extrovert strengths, my network of colleagues, peers, and others to bring both perspectives to ideas, topics and challenges.
Both personalities play a role in how individuals work within the realm of technology and today’s fast-paced changing world.
