Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, the goal of this course was to enlighten you that introversion is okay. Today, the society views the man of action vs the man of contemplation biasedly.

Unlike extroverts, introverted leaders have a self-drive that propels them to do what is right

It’s Never That Serious—Let People See Your Introverted Side
