If you're introverted or shy it is easy to feel lost in the professional and corporate workplace where the conversation is dominated by the outgoing and extroverted.
It can be easy to feel your contributions aren't appreciated.
You may have trouble gaining recognition.
Over looked for projects, teams, and opportunities where you could excel and make an impact.
Labelled as "not engaged", not an A-player, "Shy" when you're actually not.
Missing out on the recognition you deserve and the compensation that comes with advancing in your career can make you feel like giving up and accepting the ceiling you've hit.
How much will that cost you over your lifetime?
Are you already paid below market because raises, like recognition, seem to go to the alpha extroverts? How much less do you make a year than the average or high end for your current position?
How much does compensation increase at the next level for your position? At the management level? At the senior and executive level for your profession?
Not being able to advance can literally cost you tens of thousands per year and hundreds of thousands over your career!
BUT...you've not been given a life sentence!
YOU can take charge and gain control in your career. Overcome shyness. Turn the tables on bias by turning your natural introverted strengths into your own personal super powers!
