About this listen

Introverts may feel powerless in a world where extroverts seem to rule, but there's more than one way to have some sway. As Jennifer Kahnweiler proves in this much-needed audiobook, introverts can be highly effective influencers when, instead of trying to act like extroverts, they use their natural strengths. Kahnweiler shows how you can use those strengths to challenge the status quo, provoke new ways of thinking, effect change, and inspire others to move forward.

Kahnweiler identifies six unique strengths introverts have:

  • Taking Quiet Time: The periods of solitude that introverts crave provide them with a powerful source of creativity and self-awareness.
  • Preparation: Careful preparation, which makes introverts feel more comfortable, also makes them very knowledgeable and able to anticipate objections.
  • Writing: Introverts' preference for writing over speaking enables them to influence others through deep, authentic, well-developed arguments.
  • Engaged Listening: Introverts are great listeners - they'd rather listen than talk - which is a crucial skill for establishing rapport and mutual understanding.
  • Focused Conversation: Introverts don't like small talk, but they excel at the serious, purpose-driven, one-on-one interactions vital for winning people over.
  • Thoughtful Use of Social Media: Oversharing doesn’t appeal to introverts online any more than it does offline, so they naturally use social media in a thoughtful, and more effective way.

Kahnweiler includes a Quiet Influence Quotient quiz to measure how well you're using these six strengths now. Then, through questions, tools, exercises, and real-world examples, she helps you increase your mastery of these strengths. Quiet Influence is the must-have guide to deeper insight and greater impact that introverts have been waiting for and that extroverts can learn from.

I acquired this audiobook recently and started listening. I liked how it was going, right up to when there is an quiz presented. I heard what it seems that in the book would be a table explaining how to calculate a score based on muy answers. It's very hard to follow. And started to look for a companion pdf, and there is none that I could find.

Audio should have a companion pdf.

Loved it! I plan to read it again. There was so much useful information. As an introvert, I always felt like I "couldn't". This book shows me that I indeed can!

Great read
