208. Embracing Outgoing Moments for Non-Outgoing People
Manage episode 446716862 series 3310389
In this 4-part mini-series we explore how to bring a bit of OOOO to your work life: Optimism, Opportunity, Organisation & Outgoing. Four different topics, we explore the mindset, behaviours and tips that bring these to life in everyday practice. In this fourth episode we explore how to feel confident in scenarios that need us to be outgoing. From interviewing, to networking, to collaborating with new people and putting ourselves 'out there' - we share tips for people who wouldn't describe themselves as naturally outgoing.
We are joined by the amazing Charlie Ryan, who in her years placing thousands of candidates in her recruitment business, shares practical ways to set yourself up for success. From tips to preparing for a networking event, or prepping for talking about yourself in an interview - if these are the types of scenarios that cause a sense of dread, then this is about embracing the preferences of being more of an introverted person. Introducing to a few people at once rather than a huge group, having a purpose to initiate small talk, and she shares handy phrases for handling situations where you are stepping out your natural behaviour patterns.
As Charlie says, own your strengths and recognise that there are benefits from being 'non-outgoing'. Know what you are, know what you are not - and that's ok. And remember - other people can see what you are feeling!
