Human Capital

Are you ready to change your life? The most powerful capital any of us possess is our Human Capital.  So what do Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Marissa Mayer, and Bill Gates all have in common beside being wildly successful? They are all introverts but they master use their human capital.  Experts say some of the most successful business people are introverts.   “Introversion is not a negative quality. We must all learn to embrace our introverted qualities, but also figure out how to sprinkle in some extrovert skills to move beyond our comfort zone and succeed in today’s workplace.”  Our guest urges everyone to realize that their capabilities – thoughtful concentration, problem solving abilities, keen observation, excellent listening skills which great human capital skills and are extremely valuable in the workplace.  The challenge is that introverts struggle most with self-promotion, taking the risk of revealing oneself, speaking up in meetings and networking events, being forceful in meetings and therefore an introvert’s valuable qualities often get overlooked in the extrovert’s world.
