It's an ambbervert. Ambivert is in between introvert and extrovert. And research shows that more
00:00:05
than 80% of people are probably ambberverted, not introverted or extroverted. So introverts get energy
00:00:11
from being alone. Extroverts get energy from being with people. Amberverts get energy around being the right people in
00:00:20
the right situations. So for example, in this interview, I love one-on-one conversations. I feel myself. But if we
00:00:25
were to go to a loud bar or a nightclub, I would completely shut down and want to
00:00:28
be alone. Amberverts can dial up extraversion to hit their goals. So, if they know they have to be friendly and
00:00:35
meet people for an interview or position, they can do it. But they need lots of recharge time. The reason why
00:00:40
it's important to know if you're an amber is because you should know what are the people and places that drain
00:00:46
you. There are certain people when you open your calendar and you look at it and
00:00:49
you're like, I have to be with that person. That is someone that drains you. They do
00:00:54
not bring out your extraversion or your natural love of people. There are also certain people who you feel you could
00:01:00
talk to for hours. They give you social energy. They charge your social battery.
00:01:04
So the very first thing I have students do is sit and make a list. Who are the people who give you energy, who charge
00:01:10
you up? Who are the people who take from you? Those are people that we want to put boundaries around. We want to say no
00:01:15
to. We want to limit as much as possible. And then also the places. Where do you thrive? Is it conferences,
00:01:20
one-on-one business, or is it friends, socializing, parties? Knowing those places helps you optimize your social
