Connect + Lead is the most complete and targeted training available for introverts who want to grow as leaders without betraying their personality or burning out.

When you enroll today, you’re going to…

• Learn to read personalities so you can connect with anyone.
• Identify and amplify your personal relationship building strengths.
• Communicate effectively so you’re always understood.
• Lead conversations and relationships to build respect.
• Build a roadmap to connect with the people who will grow your influence.
• Be heard and valued at meetings.
• Identify leadership opportunities by connecting strategically.
• Develop connection habits that automate career growth every day.

Put simply, Connect + Lead will give you the roadmap to build the connections that will earn respect by providing opportunities to practice and get feedback to perfect your skills.

You’ll learn all of this within a framework that’s built for introverts who must take a more strategic approach to relationship building.

Get started today.

Connect + Lead is uniquely designed to serve:

1. Introverts who prefer to work diligently instead of loudly promote themselves.
2. Busy professionals who don’t have time for happy hour every day.
3. Skilled technicians who want to better demonstrate their expertise.
4. Ambitious people with an aversion to schmoozing.

Master these 3 skills and you’ll be the MVP of your team.

Every year, research firms ask big and small businesses what skills they look for the most in employees. These 3 skills are consistently at the top:

1. Interpersonal skills. How well do you interact and engage with coworkers and clients?
2. Leadership skills. Can you build trust that makes others want to rally around your ideas?
3. Communication skills. How good are you at getting a message across to managers, coworkers, and customers?

Even if you’re a rockstar at work, you won’t advance until you’ve developed these “soft skills” that help you influence and lead.

You already know it: Improving your people skills is the fastest way to build confidence and grow your career.

When you’re good at your job, you keep it. When you’re good at your job and you have strong relationships, you grow it.

There is no faster way to level up your career and build respect than by improving your connections.

You know this because you’ve seen your peers (some of them less-qualified than you) get opportunities that you deserved. You’ve felt that frustration.

It’s because they’ve built the relationships that make it easier for people to offer them those opportunities.

This is especially true at work.

When judging and implementing ideas, the leaders at your company don’t always take the most logical approach.

They’re not just asking, “Who is the most qualified?” They’re asking, who do I like?”

It’s a lot easier to listen to someone you know and like than it is to listen to someone you don’t know that well. There’s less risk for them.

You may be the most qualified candidate, but if the people who can make your ideas happen don’t feel close to you, you’ll be fighting an uphill battle to get things done.

Once you learn how to build these connections efficiently and authentically, it’s not just effective. It’s enjoyable.

Master your people skills today.

People skills are actually easy and fun to learn.

And not just easy, but really easy. The problem is that we tend to get in our own way.

We introverts are analytical people. We like to put things in categories to understand them better.

But people are hard to categorize because they don’t always behave the same way. Sometimes they have good days. Other days are bad. Sometimes they’re excited, and sometimes they’re tired or irritable.

People are fluid, and it’s hard to know how to act around them when you don’t know what you’ll get in return.

But people can be categorized. You just have to know two things about “people categories:”

1. Everyone has a default personality. You can predict how a coworker or boss will behave based on a simple assessment of their default personality.
2. That default will often be overridden. Environment and context can change everything you think you know about someone.

Your boss and coworkers are predictable, but you can’t rely on one, rigid idea of who they are and expect to build a successful relationship with them.

Once you figure out someone’s default personality and how that default gets overridden by different emotions, you can build strong relationships that make you a trusted connection.

When you learn to read people, you also learn to be a great friend, coworker, advocate, boss, and leader.

Building people skills = helping people like you and think of you in new ways.

That’s how you grow both personally and professionally.

And it’s why I created Connect + Lead: To teach introverts like you to read personalities and find your allies—the people who will help you grow your career.

Start decoding personalities now.

Those With Connections vs. Those Without

Here’s a reminder of the differences between those who embrace connection building at work and those who reject and avoid it.

Those who connect	Those who reject
Positioned for advancement	Stalled or stunted growth
Influential	Ignored
Respected by peers	Tolerated by peers
Trusted and sought after	Rarely consulted
Deeply understood	Misunderstood
Secure in their future	Uncertain about their trajectory
Supported in their goals	Struggling alone

“But I’m just not a social person.”

I’ve heard this from many people, and I’ve helped them anyway.

In fact, I’ve felt the same way at times on my own journey of personal and professional growth, so I understand the arguments:

• Networking is exhausting.
• I never want to be inauthentic or turn into a social robot.
• I should be valued for what I do, not who I know.

You may feel that way now, but I promise you won’t once you finish the course. Here’s why:

Effective connection-building is energizing. When you understand what makes people tick, building connections happens faster and easier. And when you use strategies that work for introverts like you, it’s actually fun and energizing instead of draining because you’re not faking it.

Relationships make you better at what you do. No matter what your job description says, having trusting relationships throughout your company and even your industry makes it easier to learn and improve the day-to-day work you were hired for. And that’s what grows your career opportunities.

You’re already connecting every day. Everyone you work with is part of your “circle of influence.” You already have relationships… they just might not be very good! Start applying effort and start seeing immediate results.
