Introverts Look Up! It's your unexpected Super Power

Punit Renjen, Global CEO, Deloitte Touch Tomatsu, is an Introvert. Most of my CEO clients are introverts, these are your think-first-then-talk types. Maybe it's my Nerdland location here in the heart of the Bay Area, or maybe it's just my karma teaching my extroverted side to respect my introverted side (I'm an Ambivert), either way, I love the power of introverted leaders who understand how to channel their solitude. Want ideas for how to make this superpower work for you and the introverts on your team? Go here.

"Don't talk to me about white privilege!" said lot's of us just yesterday. Sorry, not sorry. Here's White Privilege 101explained so we can all finally get it, by Debbie Irving, a savvy, and very nice white lady from Boston.

Most of us white folks don't get that while we're trying to hire, empower, and engage great people from all walks of life (doesn't that right there prove we're not racist?), we're handicapped every step of the way by race and privilege blindness. And we can't fix this because we get all upset around the "R" word. But maybe we don't really know what "racist" or "privilege" means. Find out. It's time.

Read Debbie's book, Waking Up White. Eye-opening. Very. Order here.

Ponder

 Style matters! Oh yes, it does. It's not ok to look like you got dressed in your sleep. It's spring! Buy something new. Make them take notice.

Girlies go here. Check out her shoes!

Muchachos go to here. And don't forget your pants!
