f611576 "Ambiverts typically . . . * Can process information both internally and externally. They need time to contemplate on their own, but consider the opinions and wisdom from people whom they trust when making a decision. * Love to engage and interact enthusiastically with others, however, they also enjoy calm and profound communication. * Seek to balance between their personal time and social time, they value each greatly. * Are able to move from one situation to the next with confidence, flexibility, and anticipation. "Not everyone is going to like us or understand us. And that is okay. It may have nothing to do with us personally; but rather more about who they are and how they relate to the world." employee-engagement hire-keynote-speaker introvert-or-extrovert motivational-leadership-speaker personality-styles first-impressions-quotes speaker-susan-young quotes-by-susan-c-young relationship-quotes Susan C.

4f0ded6 "Uh-Oh . . . One year I was the guest speaker at an annual conference. The person who coordinated the agenda mistakenly typed my name as "Sue" rather than "Susan." I felt odd and a little disrespected because they didn't take the time to ask the spelling of my name. It felt awkward when I saw it on all the tables throughout the ballroom, to say the least. I asked, "Please make sure that you introduce me as Susan because I've never been called Sue." The initial impression was sticky for an instant, but they quickly made it right. The correction was shared and everything turned out fine. Even an innocent and unintentional name error can impact your first impressions. Making a joke about it once I was on stage was a light-hearted way to confirm my real name." team-building employee-engagement motivational-leadership-speaker customer-service-quotes first-impressions-quotes motivational-speaker-susan-young quotes-by-susan-c-young relationship-quotes communication-skills Susan C.
