Visit: www.thepowerofintroverts.com Before I became a writer, I practiced corporate law for seven years, representing clients like JP Morgan and General Electric, and then worked as a negotiations consultant, training all kinds of people, from hedge fund managers to TV producers to college students negotiating their first salaries.
My clients have included Merrill Lynch, Shearman & Sterling, One Hundred Women in Hedge Funds, and many more.
I went to Princeton University and Harvard Law School.
From all this you might guess that I’m a hardcore, wonderfully self-confident, pound-the-table kind of person, when in fact I’m just the opposite.
I prefer listening to talking, reading to socializing, and cozy chats to group settings.
I like to think before I speak (softly).
I’ve never given a speech without being terrified first, though I’ve given many.
And somehow I know that everything I’ve ever accomplished, in love and in work, I owe to these traits, annoying though they may sometimes be.
I’ve explored this paradox in my first book, QUIET.
I live on the banks of the Hudson River in an 1822 captain’s cottage with my beloved husband, sons, and magnolia trees.
My favorite activities are reading, writing, lounging around cafés, and doing the mambo with my family.
I use a lot of old-fashioned expressions.
A few times a year, I try to like cooking.
I’m insatiably curious about human nature.
