Once during an interview, the head of the panel stopped mid-sentence, smiled and said, “You’re not a shrinking violet are you?” I smiled back and replied, “No, no I’m not.”
The main reason I got that job was the confidence I exuded.
Now, a “shrinking violet” is a person who is SHY or MODEST and DOES NOT LIKE TO ATTRACT ATTENTION.
And guess what? That actually describes my personality to at T.
My very nature as a quiet and reserved person means I naturally hate putting myself out there, trying new things or doing anything that will take me out of my routine. That’s who I am naturally.
But I also knew that shrinking violets miss out on great opportunities, so I began to take deliberate steps to change an internal configuration that was clearly hindering me.
How? That's what I share in this episode.
