Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Using Your Introvert Tendencies to Succeed in the Workplace with Richard Newman
[1:42] – Richard shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- He believes you must stop being the hero in your business to succeed.
[6:44] – Richard grew up struggling with communication; he was a shy and introverted child on the autistic spectrum, but now he teaches communication. How did this happen?
- He felt like an outsider and struggled with communication from an early age.
- He looked at human interactions scientifically and published research that showed minor changes in behavior can significantly increase people’s belief in you as a leader or persuader.
- To communicate effectively, you must drop your armor, let go of poor habits, and reconnect with your innate ability to connect with others.
[9:11] – What else did you learn that many people may find valuable?
- Being on the autistic spectrum, he looks for banter in conversation; banter for Richard looks like two people insulting each other and then laughing in each other’s faces.
- He thought of what he was missing about that part of communication, and then suddenly, he realized.
- The term “lift” refers to making the other person feel better or more optimistic after banter.

[14:48] – How can you use your introverted tendencies as an advantage in the workplace?
- Introversion is a spectrum, not a clear-cut category.
- Introverts require solitary reflection time, and in a group setting that includes both introverts and extroverts, it is essential to provide separate spaces for brainstorming sessions.
- Introverts have the power to listen very deeply.
[16:30] – Many people struggle to succeed, even though they are working hard. What are they missing?
- You need to focus on pivotal and pedestrian actions to achieve the desired success level.
- You won’t achieve anything without a clear goal, like a North Star. Identifying the pivotal piece you want to accomplish and taking consistent pedestrian actions every day towards that goal is essential.
[20:27] – Richard’s takeaway.
- To live a meaningful life, prioritize your relationships with others, even if communication is difficult.
- Make an effort to study and apply communication skills daily to build deeper and more meaningful connections.
- Achieving financial or material success will only be worthwhile if you have established strong relationships through effective communication.
