* A Catalyst (and TED) nugget from Susan Cain

—

So we only had a few minutes to hear from Susan Cain, fellow introvert, and author of the New York Times Best Seller QUIET: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can’t Stop Talking.

She spoke ever-so-briefly about some shifts in our culture away from things that allow us introverts to thrive.

She called those of us in leadership to reclaim space and practices — like solitude and silence — for our introverts, so that they might thrive.
