The Traveling Introvert

The Career Introvert

A bite-sized podcast about traveling while running a business and being an introvert. Not knowing what introversion was until my 30s, I feel that I wasted some of my early years by not really understanding myself. An inspiration for my business is that I want to help others understand themselves better, earlier on in their careers and their lives. Introversion is a very misunderstood area – introverts can suffer mentally and physically because people typecast them or act negatively towards them. It’s not nice to be trapped in a little box. When you label somebody, they tend to act like that label, which stops people from achieving their true potential. I don’t let being an introvert define me, I let it guide me.

Leveraging Introversion in Decision Making

The Traveling Introvert

02/11/25 • 5 min

The episode focuses on decision making for introverts, highlighting both challenges and strategies. Introverts may overanalyze options and prefer internal reflection over external discussions, which can lead to decision fatigue or pressure in group settings. To aid decision making, introverts can schedule alone time for reflection, use writing such as decision journals to analyze choices, and set deadlines to avoid analysis paralysis. Additionally, leveraging strengths like observation skills, pattern recognition, and deep focusing abilities can help break down complex decisions. The episode also emphasizes the importance of having 1 to 2 trusted advisers for external input while setting boundaries to maintain personal decision-making power. In group scenarios, requesting materials in advance and communicating the need for processing time are recommended. By practicing these approaches, introverts can enhance decision-making effectiveness and utilize their introversion as a strength.
