47 - Christy Woods: "Introverts are sneaky in their super powers"

Bevidst Introvert

Christy Woods er introvert og coach for introverte. Hun coacher og hjælper nyansatte, når de skal ud på arbejdsmarkedet for første gang og sælge deres styrker. Hun hjælper studerende med at netværke. Og hun synes, at introverte får alt, alt for lidt credit.
Kort sagt: Christy er den amerikanske udgave af mig, og jeg er den danske udgave af Christy.
Vi arbejder med det samme, men i to forskellige kulturer. Den amerikanske kultur kræver i endnu højere grad, at man er ekstrovert, mens den danske kultur er mere afdæmpet.
I denne episode taler vi om vores fælles mission på tværs af landegrænser. Vi taler om, hvordan vi hver især kom til at brænde for vores felt, og hvordan vi oplever synet på introverte i hver vores del af verden.

Christy Woods is an American introvert and coach. She helps students to network and land their first jobs focusing on the streghts of being an introvert. And she fiercely belives that introverts have much more to offer than the world gives them credit for.
Basically: She is the American version of me. And I am the Danish version of her.
We work in the same field in two very different cultures. The American culture requires you to be even more extroverted than in Denmark, even though I still believe we have en extrovert bias in Denmark as well.
In this episode we talk about our mission across borders. And we tell each other the story of how we came to be so passionate about this work.
This is the first time we met on Zoom and we just wanted to let you in on our thoughs - feel free to join the conversation!
