QUIET IS A SUPERPOWER
The Secret Strengths of Introverts in the Workplace
This ultimate introvert's guide to surviving and thriving in the globalized workplace is written by an "extreme introvert" who is also a bestselling international author and a successful sports agent, businesswoman, and philanthropist.
How does a self-described "extreme introvert" thrive in a world where extroverts are rewarded and social institutions are set up in favor of them? Using her personal story as a "case study of one," debut Taiwanese author Jill Chang shows that introverts hold great, untapped potential for success in a globalized world. Chang draws from her own experience working in fields that are filled with extroverts, including as an agent for Major League Baseball players, a founder of her own business, and a leading figure in tech philanthropy. Instead of changing herself to fit a mold, she learned that embracing her introversion was the reason she was able to accomplish great goals and see blind spots that obstructed her extroverted peers.
Quiet Is a Superpower gives introverts the tools to better understand how they can form relationships, excel in cross-cultural workplaces, and navigate extroverted settings without compromising comfort or personality.
Jill Chang is currently the Asia-Pacific region manager of Give2Asia, an American nonprofit organization. She has over ten years of experience working in cross-disciplinary marketing across sectors, including working with Major League Baseball as an agent for Taiwanese players, the US government, long-term medical care providers, international businesses, and international public welfare strategy consultants. Chang specializes in integrating different stakeholders on these projects. She is a graduate of leadership programs at Harvard and Tsinghua University in Beijing.
