Did you know I’m shy?
I wrote a post on Susan Cain’s blog,
“Quiet: The Power of Introverts”. I wrote about managing a media career as a shy, introverted person.
So, how does that work? Read about it here

Who is Jane London?
I’m a retired morning radio host, turned a serial communicator:)
Some topics that I like to explore are astrology, spirituality, growing older, growing wiser, pop culture, not-so-pop culture and the human condition.
My husband, two dogs and two cats currently live in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, but that could change anytime as I tend to get restless.
I would love it if you’d sign up below for e mail alerts, pass along my blog to your friends and please comment on the posts; maybe it’ll lead to some great ideas for future posts.
Thanks to all of you who have signed up and have shared my posts. I really appreciate it.

I always thought YOU were the leader, and I here I read that you were just hanging on my perky coat-tails. Cheers!
See?? GREAT faker, that’s me:)
I, too, am introverted around strangers and am usually in the kitchen with the hostess of the party. Convincing my family and friends that I am introverted (they don’t think so) is sometimes more difficult than the social situation itself. But, I love your suggestions, Jane, and will keep them in mind the next time I’m in a new situation. By the way, my husband can talk to an ashtray!
I, too, am an INTJ and a very good fake extrovert. I am in a very public position within my company and am expected to give many speeches/public appearances. When it’s all over being extroverted sucks the life out of me and I can’t wait to retreat back into my office.The good news is that INTJs can do this and be very successful. You know your limits and where you get your strength- sometimes that’s all we can ask for. Thanks for the blog; I’ve been a long time listener and Jane lover and now I know why.

Thanks for the kind words! I’m so glad you commented, since I had a particularly crowd-filled day today and so, I went back and re-read the post. I should have read it this morning!!
