Do people say "you are too quiet" or "you should speak up more"?
Is small talk and networking awkward for you?
In meetings, do you keep quiet even though you have something to say?
Most quiet achievers struggle in silence, or pretend to be extroverted.
Life is too short to be living someone else's version of success.
Stop pretending. Start practicing. Remain your true authentic self.

Watching Tim's videos is like listening to a supportive, knowledgeable, empathetic friend. Tim gave me incredible advice and methods I could use in real-life scenarios. I highly recommend.
Tim gave me a lot of space to unpack what I struggle with as an introvert, and then tackled each part with an actionable tip. I think the actionable nature of the conversation was what really helped. The professional "advice" I've gotten about introversion in the past has always been too abstract or philosophical to be truly helpful.
I love how much your work is about allowing introverts to unlock their full super power rather than feeling like this is something they need to adjust/ work around. The tools you're suggesting does exactly that-- allows introverts to own, celebrate, and understand who they are.

Tim is great; we covered every query I got and I left having closure, rare find! His experience resonated with mine, having gone through what I am currently going through.
