“Don’t think of introversion as something that needs to be cured.”
These words, from Susan Cain’s book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, have always resonated with me. Because, as a fundraising professional, I never was one for the small talk of golf outings or galas. Instead, I preferred one-on-one conversations with donors, digging into data, connecting donors to their passions, and writing from my heart.
