Introvert versus extravert
When talking about public speaking, a lot of people think about extraverted people, taking center stage, enjoying the attention of the audience. I dare to bet that nobody will think of an introverted person. Yet I am an introverted person by nature and I enjoy public speaking! I also know that a lot of entrepreneurs are introverted as well and they don’t enjoy public speaking, presenting or even pitching. So what’s the difference? It is mindset. And focus.
