This is a book that every introvert who wants to be a better communicator should read. Every chapter begins with a self-assessment that even an extrovert could use. It's filled with stories of introverts who shared their experiences and how they overcame their fear of communicating. I liked the presentation chapter very much because i'm in that business myself. This a very well thought-through book that is filled with tips and tactics that will help any introvert who wants to become more confident and a more skilled communicator.

Until I started reading Patricia Weber's blog, I didn't even know I was an introvert. Apparently no one else did either! Communication Toolkit for Introverts has helped me understand my reaction to business situations that have vexed me in the past and opened up a world of new possibilities for my future. This book is formatted beautifully. Each chapter ends with a tip and a very concise summary. Salient points are noted throughout, and by doing it this way I have found that the "shouldn't forget" items stick with me. Whether you are an introvert or work with one, this is an invaluable guide for navigating everyday business situations and life in general.

This book offers a practical, time-tested, research-based approach to improving the skill sets of the more introverted among us (myself included). In it, the author guides us to view situations in which an introvert might normally be uncomfortable, such as giving a presentation, selling a product, service, or idea to a customer or a co-worker, networking, or negotiating, as opportunities. To capitalize on these opportunities, we are advised to both draw on our inherent strengths of listening, preparing, and keeping a calm demeanor as well as strategically applying some of the elements from more extroverted individuals, including making emotional connections and sharing our genuine selves.The books opens with a discussion that leads to a fuller understanding of what introversion and extroversion are and, in the process, demystifies a number of myths surrounding each. Then, the heart of the book covers listening, participating in business meetings, giving presentations, dealing with conflict, negotiating, and persuasion. Each chapter takes a mature approach involving a clarification of terms involved, an assessment of your current skills, and (as the title suggests) a set of useful tools, tips, and techniques to improve your performance in that area. I appreciate that the author gives a bibliography of research sources to support the suggestions.Overall, I think the book is well-written and would be useful for introverts who have not mastered these skills, most likely in the first half of their careers. Additionally, I could see that an extroverted manager might benefit from a deepened understanding of introverts whom they manage, and may be able to structure the working "environment" (in the broadest sense of that term) better as a result. The only negative is that I felt there were a number of typos in the text that should have been eliminated during the proofreading process, which is a shame, because it is clear the author is a highly skilled communicator.
