    🌸 It is the first Monday of the first 'ber' month of the year - September! 🌸   A brand new week, brand new month and brand new intention for this fresh start with a dash of sass and a sprinkle of quiet confidence!   ⁉ Can we change the past? NOPE!   The thing is, what is done is done, and cliché as it may be, crying over spilt milk is only going to make the stain harder to remove. If you cannot 'un'spill it, how about clean-up and get ready for what's next?   🌱 It is time to turn the leaf and start with a fresh page to write your intentional story full of opportunities (as I talk about in Ep 233 of The Flourishing Introvert Talks podcast - link at the bottom). So take a deep breath, exhale and release what is gone as you embrace what lies ahead of you.    ✒ I am starting today with a clean slate.   Time to be more intentional, excited, focused and driven by choices aligned with our authentic being - celebrating our quiet power unapologetically.   I am going to zone-in with laser focus on my purpose, gently but assertively creating the masterpiece of my flourishing journey. That means intentionally applying my own unique toolkit and mindfully throwing pebbles in the pond of possibilities to create far reaching ripples of change, inclusion and growth.   Are you ready to create your own ripples? I know I am!   Quietly, and intentionally yours -Joanna   Podcast Link: https://lnkd.in/e5TxhBAz   #FlourishingIntroverts #Flourishing #Introverts #AuthenticallyYou #MovingForward #SelfAwareness #MyJourneyMyTerms #Confidence #FlipYourLimitingBeliefs   -- - - -

  • Reminder - Your boundaries are your responsibility first! Being an introvert, I thrive in quieter spaces and a gentler approach as opposed to loud environment, however being an advocate means I do have to network, socialise, put myself out there on social media because like it or not, majority of platforms (in-person or digital) are still extravert oriented. This makes it hugely important that understand my limits and needs so I know the healthy boundaries I need to maintain for my own psychological safety. My boundaries are the resource in my toolkit that helps me ensure my mental, physical and emotional batteries are well charged so I am prepared for my professional endeavours. Hence, you'll often hear me talk about the significance of pre-charging and re-charging for we introverts. A prominent part of maintaining my boundaries is communicating them, clearly and without hesitation. Afterall, if people don't know where my boundaries are, how on earth can I expect them to be respected? Also boundaries are not about keeping people out, but about preserving my space and creating time for refilling my own cup. They are also about mutual respect and understanding. The most important reality of boundaries is, that they are my responsibility - to define, communicate and sustain. It is about being able to say no without carrying guilt within, and prioritising my needs so I can flourish and operate from a place of my intentions rather than social obligations. It is about my own fulfillment, joy and peace after all, wouldn't you agree? #Introverts #FlourishingIntrovert #Boundaries #SelfCare #Communication #Clarity

    As an introvert, what stops you from shining authentically so you play full out? #Polls #Introverts #Authenticity

    Helping organisations unlock potential by shifting extraversion bias | Coaching quiet leaders | TEDx Speaker | Trainer

    Contrary to lazy stereotyping, we introverts have unique strengths that are often overlooked at work and home thanks to the prevalence of the extraversion bias. 🌾 Life experience and upbringing can play a role in making it difficult to flourish, if we've been constantly criticised for being the quieter ones. We introverts are often told to 'come out of our shell' or 'be more like our outgoing cousin', implying that being quieter or reflective were flaws to fix. Oh how these messages linger, and create a mindset that provides ammunition for our inner-critic. 🚧 This can lead to us developing habits that become a barrier to our own joy. We tend to avoid opportunities for fear of failure or, paradoxically, fear of success. (But I must say, that's not just the introverts. The social construct creates that stigma all around - we introverts just suffer a tad more).  We can often suffer a lack of self-belief and the end result? 🤦♀️ WE PLAY SMALL! Look, we can easily use the extraversion bias as a convenient excuse, (it's very real after all) but what if we decided to say 'fu** that', I am going to shine anyway?' What if we introverts chose to be the vanquishers instead of victims? 🎙 In that spirit, I invite you to listen to Episode 232 - Choosing a Flourishing Mindset (https://lnkd.in/girjjMXm) - and also keep an eye out for the upcoming Episode 233 - Opportunities are Limitless (subscribe to the podcast so you know when it comes out on Thursday morning, London time). ⁉ So I have to ask, what is holding you back and are you ready to use your frustrations to fuel your growth? Quietly and sassily yours,  -Joanna #Mindset #GrowthMindset #Limitless #FrustratedToFlourishing  #Failure #Fear #Courage #FlipYourLimitingBeliefs  #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts #ExtraversionBias

    🤯 It is no secret that non-stop notifications are a major distraction and often lead to a hefty time suck in our day. 🔔 🔕 How about we start by managing notifications by only allowing what is essential? Have a listen to some of the strategies by our CEO, Joanna Rawbone - https://lnkd.in/ggGuEtaD #DigitalOverwhelm #SelfAwareness #Balance #Boundaries #Introverts #SelfCare #FlourishingIntroverts.

    🤯 It is no secret that non-stop notifications are a major distraction and often lead to a hefty time suck in our day.   🔔 🔕 How about we start by managing notifications by only allowing what is essential?   Also, decide fixed times to open your email. Use 'Do Not Disturb' feature to focus on your task.   🌱 My team encourage me to have weekends free from technology. I am now actively choosing hours without tech. It genuinely helps recharge and refresh better than when my phone is always pinging.   🎧 You might find the 'Oh - the Digital Overwhelm' episode of my podcast, 'The Flourishing Introvert Talks' quite useful for this, if I say so myself. Find out for yourself - https://lnkd.in/gWx346Va    💅 BTW, I am not here when this published, because team and I used technology to our advantage and scheduled it 5 days ahead of time so we don't have to be online. Walking the talk, we are. :)   Quietly, and decisively yours -Joanna   #Distractions #DoomScroll #Notifications #Interruptions #DigitalOverwhelm #Focus #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts #DoNotDisturb

    🎉 ✨ 💐 This post is a little surprise from the team to Joanna Rawbone as we want her to witness our gratitude, excitement, and appreciation for her, as she returns from her retreat tomorrow, and settles back into business mode. 🎉 ✨ 💐   Working with leaders who genuinely inspire you but are also down to earth, approachable and not just another 'admire from distance' legendary tale is not as common as it should be.   We are incredibly fortunate to have a leader who is all of those:   Inspiring Approachable Supportive Compassionate Exciting to work for and with.   And that is none other than Joanna Rawbone. (Sorry to embarrass you Jo, but not sorry!)   🤝 We, the Flourishing Introverts & INTENT2Flourish teams wanted to gently take over the account to express our deepest and heartfelt appreciation for her extraordinary leadership.   Joanna, your inclusive and compassionate leadership style and values not only create a supportive environment but also give us the creative and individual freedom, which makes working with you a joy, rather than just a job.   Your ability to inspire us is unparalleled, and your understanding and kindness toward each of us truly sets you apart. For many of us working with such a leader is genuinely a first and exciting experience. You lead by example, embodying a collaborative spirit that encourages us all to contribute our best ideas and efforts.   😇 And OMGs, you are a fun person to work with - making even the toughest tasks a collaborative and exciting growth experience instead of being a challenge.   As an introverted leader, you are a shining example of how introverts can lead with grace and effectiveness. You consistently walk the talk, demonstrating through your actions how powerful introverted leadership can be. Joanna, your equal treatment of everyone, with love and respect, is something we deeply admire.   🙏 Thank you for being an inspiring role model, a compassionate mentor, and a supportive friend, a term not many can use with their CEOs and Leaders.   ✨ 💐 Here’s to celebrating you, Joanna, and the incredible impact you have on all of us, as much as you do on your clients and audience. 💐✨   Thank you for being YOU!   Your TEAMily!   #Leadership #InclusiveLeadership #Motivation #DreamTeam #CollaborativeTeams #InclusiveWorkplaces #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts #Appreciation
