- Introverts, Ambiverts & Extroverts: Exploring Your Strengths to Boost Your Creativity
We tend to be our own worst critics, which is completely natural when we care so deeply about our work. However, it becomes a problem when we limit our creativity and talents by labeling ourselves based on character traits. Join Career & Executive Coach Tammy Gooler Loeb to discover which side of the personality spectrum you fall on and explore ways to turn it to your advantage.
