Self-promotion for introverts

Nancy Ancowitz, the author of this excellent book, is an accomplished executive coach, speaker and educator who also happens to be a friend of mine. An introvert who coaches many introverts in her practice, Nancy has first-hand knowledge of workplace situations that make “the quieter crowd” cringe and an arsenal of strength-based strategies for meeting those challenges with grace and authenticity. I recommend this book to anyone – introverts and extroverts alike – who shudders at the thought of tooting her own horn, making small talk with strangers or speaking off the cuff at meetings.
