Personal Branding Tips for Introverts /  

Hello This is great material for someone who is usually the quietest person in the room. I like how Anthony recommends a way to shine and show your skills, is to ask for more tasks in your area of expertise. This is a great way to showcase ones skills, and its a great way to show what you excel in and what you feel comfortable in. Once your supervisors see how good you are in a certain area, they will see you as the go-to person in that area. I can take this and use it to show my skills, and I would feel more comfortable in that role and constantly build on that.

Anthony, thank you for highlighting the difference between being introverted and being shy. As someone who is introverted, it gets difficult having to explain how I’m an introvert but am outgoing once comfortable in certain situations. As for building your personal brand as an introvert, there is one thing that helps me when in situations where I need to represent myself. There is a quote from a book that I have read that stated, “the only person that doesn’t know you’re confident is yourself” and since reading that, it has helped me when in social settings. I hope this also helps anyone else that is introverted when in social situations.

Hey Anthony, I got to say, this video was seriously eye-opening! The tips they shared are gonna be a game-changer for me in the finance industry. You know, it's all about becoming an expert, showing off that expertise, and sharing it with the world. These pointers are gonna be my secret sauce for nailing job interviews, impressing execs, and making a name for myself in the business world. What's really cool about this video is that it shows introverts like us that we can absolutely create a personal brand that works for us. It doesn't matter if you want it to be bold and loud or more subtle and quiet; it's all about how you want to put yourself out there. Thanks for sharing this, it's a fantastic reminder that being introverted doesn't mean we can't build a strong personal brand.

Your suggestions for introverts building personal brands are very insightful. It is true that usually we relate introvert with shy and viceversa. Personally, I am socially a very extroverted girl with my family and friends, but when it comes to talk to strangers or people that I don't really know, I can be really introvert. I have been working on it since it is going to help me in my career because I will be constantly speaking to people that I do not feel confident with. These points that you made will definitely help me improve in that aspect!

Hello Anthony, this is such a helpful video as it can be a struggle to do personal branding as an introvert. I think from this video anyone having trouble with personal branding will find these tips immensely helpful. I want to start working on tip number 2 which is promoting expertise as it does help build my personal brand. I like the suggestions you made about doing this in a low-key way and using LinkedIn or other platforms where you can post some of your professional expertise. Whether you are an introvert or not, this video shows that you can still build a personal brand and market yourself successfully.

This entire video resonates with me because I have always labeled myself as an introvert. Whenever I tell people this, I always get the response that I do not come across as a shy person or people sometimes say that I am good with people so I can’t be an introvert. I enjoy being by myself, I rather text or write than to speak, and I believe those are personality traits of an introverted person. When Anthony said that introvert and extrovert are separate personality traits instead of opposites of the same trait, that really brought it to light for me. This video was informative and helpful especially for someone like me who always have a difficult time speaking with people, even though I have to do it so often.

This video really helped me because I myself am an introvert and I don't have the best social skills. These tips have helped me that I am able to move up in a company and still not have the best communication skills in the workplace. This video really does give me some hope for myself and my fellow introverts out there, who also have trouble communicating or who are shy to ask for a promotion.

Hi Anthony! I was pleased to come across this video because I feel as if I often worry about how feeling introverted can get in the way of my professional success. I am an outgoing person most of the time, but I do have moments where I am feeling introverted. The point that stuck out to me the most in this video was tip #, sharing your expertise with others. I felt as if this tip helped me the most in understanding that when you are feeling introverted, to give yourself opportunities that allow you to showcase your knowledge and skills without having to give a presentation for example. Once you get these projects or tasks it is easy to then focus on the task at hand and not have to worry about being extroverted while completing this task. Your knowledge and skills that you put into the project/task will show off your skills and knowledge enough to where you don't have to do all the talking. I thought this video was very informative and I will be taking tips and tricks I learned in this video and applying it to my personal professional career. Thanks for sharing!

I found very helpful a lot of the tips that you gave in this video. I agree that I need to build my expertise that matches my expertise and or style and communicate my value to my intended audience, which is something I have already been doing in the workplace. To stand out or be recognized for the things you can do and do well then you have to step out of your comfort zone to be seen and recognized. I will apply these tips going forward. This was another great video.

Mr. Miyazaki, I found this information extremely important and applicable to my personal life because I view myself as more of an introvert. I sometimes find it difficult to put myself out there and make meaningful conversations and communication with potential business partners. This video provided me with a lot of information that can allow me to better myself.

Thank you Anthony for the great tips you suggested. The one I find most useful is tip 1 and that is being really good at your field. Being an introvert can be difficult when going out to network, but when you have experience and knowledge in the field you're in, it can be much easier to connect with others.

Hi Anthony. Good video, and all the tips provided will be very helpful for my future. Brand building is, at its heart, about building relationships and I realized that I'm actually very good at doing it one-on-one but not so good in groups, so I decided to take what I'm good at and lean on my strengths to get the job done for me. All we have to do is tap into your passion for your work, connect with confidence in your skills and experience, and find the people who need the product or service you offer.

As someone who is shy and reserved, being in sales seems very counterintuitive to my being because it requires a lot of human connection, face to face conversation, and confrontation. One thing I have learned in order to combat this feeling is to "create a persona" of courage. Similar to just performing, at times it becomes difficult to perform because it is against my nature, so almost convincing myself that I am someone who is forward, head-strong, and professional helps me get into the right mindset to perform the hard conversations in my industry.

The third tip that was provided in this video sounds contradicting when it comes to introverts but it makes sense. As someone that is introverted I never thought of sharing my expertise when I am feeling the most introverted. This is a great way to show and perform duties at the highest level possible which will help with personal branding.

I have always been overwhelmed with the idea of marketing myself to people. My lack of self-confidence has always held me back from being able to make new connections and sell myself. After watching Anthony's video, I was thankful for his tips. He gave me a few ideas on ways I can improve my marketing skills and I encourage anyone else to watch the video. One tip I use currently and can attest to is building expertise. There are certain tasks or projects I’m very good at doing and because I know it’s something I can easily complete, it makes it much more enjoyable for me.

I completely agree that introversion and extroversion might be separate personality traits rather than opposites of the same trait. I feel like I fall under this statement, I believe that I am a mix of both and have scored high on both introversion and extroversion assessments. I believe going into the sales field and public speaking definitely has had an impact on my extroversion.

Hi Anthony, I truly believe this video can help inspire and influence people and even myself to change our behaviors. I see myself building expertises that are maybe not my strong suit. I am more introverted than extroverted but after this video I now feel inspired to still grow and enhance my ability to improve in extraverted categories such as public speaking because it can help my personal brand grow as well. So this video truly influenced me to change.

Great video Anthony. My way of thinking changed when you encourage us to build expertise in areas that will not only help our careers but also make us happy. I never considered truly measuring the utility of happiness as it relates to the development of skill sets, which I am naturally averse to. My perspective used to be to just power through it, eventually, I may learn to love it or at the very least tolerate it. For instance, when you mentioned public speaking, it reminded me of how I detest speaking publicly. Not the action but rather the catering to groups of people after. This offered me a new perspective that I can have one without the other.

Hey Anthony, This video was able to provide me with some insight and knowledge that I had previously not crossed my mind. I had also always thought that introverts and extroverts were opposites and mutually exclusive, and could never figure out where I stood on the scale. Because on one hand, I have introvert qualities, like having a tight group of friends. But on the other hand, I have extrovert qualities like recharging through social interactions and not preferring alone time. This video helped me gather a better understanding of myself and my personality, which I will use to further portray myself in my personal brand.

I never thought about this before. I myself am an extrovert but I do understand that I have moments of being introverted. I also did not considered that asking for more work would be more helpful to stepping out of my comfort zone.

I believe introverts from everywhere can benefit from this video. As an introvert myself I plan on following his tips in order to step out of my comfort zone and do what is needed for my success. It’s nice to know that it is not a weakness but a another challenge we must overcome and deal with.

Hello Anthony, This is a video that resonated with me in particular because while I wouldn't completely consider myself an introvert, I have had trouble in the past with putting myself out there and I definetely feel like this at times was a deterrent in me building my personal brand. However, the material presented in this video has certainly influenced me to take a different approach to marketing myself in which some of my introverted tendencies won't really stand in my way. I found tip 1 especially helpful; while I do like to keep most aspects of my personality and personal life private and am reluctant expose that kind of stuff to the public eye, I can certainly build my personal brand moreso around my expertise and skills, rather than putting so much focus on more personal aspects of my brand.

Anthony, this was the video I needed to watch. Being an introvert all my life , I have struggle to creating my own identity and personal brand. I thought that introverts do not success in the corporate world. This video changed my opinion, and you have provided me with great tips that I will apply to my personal brand and to set myself to success in the corporate world.

Hi Anthony! This video gives me hope in the best way possible. Something this video reminded me that I have forgotten is that I should always strive to achieve excellence. Although it is hard for me to do social events because it feels draining, this video brings up a good point that I can always try to be good and develop my skill set at something that doesn't require me to socialize with large groups. Doing research and monitoring my progress will be essential for my personal branding.

Hi Anthony, I resonate with this video a lot because I consider myself an introvert. One thing that changed my perspective was that an introvert can score high on an extrovert scale. I never knew that you could be an introvert with extrovert tendencies, just that you will operate differently at different points in the day/week. It would make sense because I have been told before that I can be very outgoing in some discussions but not in all of them. After being in a social situation, I feel like I must restore my energy. If I apply some introvert and extrovert traits to my personal brand, it will help me stand out even more.

Hi Anthony, It may seem silly ,but I always thought that being Introverted went hand in hand with being shy. I frequently lump those terms together when describing the reason I don’t market myself on many social platforms. I appreciated the in depth historical value of being an actual introvert. I discovered in my personal branding I feel introverted and extroverted. I will take note of building my expertise using the PERM method so it matches my personality. I want my clients and audience to feel safe with my capabilities. This video helped me know it's possible to do this without bolstering myself with a crowd I don’t enjoy.

Hello Anthony, I was pleased to find the information in this video valuable as I am an introvert myself. Honestly, I have never considered how people get stuck on the idea that they should avoid excelling in areas others believe to be only for extroverts. It entirely changed my point of view on the importance of building our expertise in specific areas we may have thought was out of our comfort zone. I also found it essential to consider that one must match their expertise to their personality or style to help them fully showcase their abilities.

Years back, I was an introvert, and I could struggle to build a personal brand from the fear of what people will say and particularly negative comments. Since my field is marketing, I focused on becoming great at that, and I started by improving my communication skills and expanding my network. It was a great experience since I was able to build a personal brand from the many people I was able to interact with.

Anthony, I am an introverted person, and it is true that we recharge by having time alone. People sometimes think I’m shy because I prefer having a close group of friends, so focusing on myself, etc. But that is not true. I love the idea that we can promote ourselves through platforms and show our expertise without speaking in public, that is a very helpful tool where we can reach many people. Last year I took a class which is speech and communication, we had to upload a RU-vid video talking about a topic, even though I’m introverted I felt very confident doing it since almost all that work was done by myself.

From your video, I learned that a shy person, not just an introvert, can also build their personal brand, without having to interact with people. I also find the "PERM" method enlightening. This method will help me as I plan to build many areas of expertises.

Anthony I wanted to say that the content in this video would definitely apply well to jobs in the marketing spectrum as a efficient balance of introversion and extroversion is a necessity in this area as without a proper balance of the two , an individual may struggle to properly market themselves in multiple scenarios.

I was hooked by the title alone before even watching this. I am an introvert but I’m not shy. When it comes to showcasing my skill, I like to work behind the sense rather than standing on a platform talking to people. I never thought of using the big platforms like RU-vid to market. This video helped me realize that it is possible for an introvert to let their voice be heard without having to interact with people in public.

Hello Anthony, when speaking on how introverts can become better at personal branding I felt inspired and I believe you inspired others as well to change the way they market themselves by finding skills and aspects that they enjoy and thrive in. This video encouraged others that are introverts like me, to find skills and areas where they feel most comfortable and are able to do the best in. By implementing research into their skills or challenging one to ask others about their performance it will help improve the way one works and thinks.

Hi Mr Miyazaki, Thank you for creating a film for people who consider themselves introverted and believe they lack the skills to promote themselves as effectively as an extrovert. I think the hidden gem that most appealed to me was how you indicated that an introvert can score high on both the introvert and extrovert scales at the same time, but things will operate differently at different times of the day and week. When compared to my contemporaries, I definitely need to recharge my social batteries, but it does not imply I am constantly reserved. Using both introvert and extrovert personas to create a much stronger personal brand would make anyone, including myself, stand out more in the working world.

Hello Anthony, I feel way more confident after watching this video. I like the fact that you pointed out that both introvert and extrovert traits could be expressed and presented depending on the time and the day. I truly just go based on how I feel sometimes. I have been thinking about many projects later but I have been intimidated. Thank you for this video. I will definitely apply these tips to succeed in my personal branding.

I have never truly considered how hard it may be for some people to express or sell themselves as an introvert. It has completely changed my view on how nervous some people may get when it comes to elevator pitches or interviews. their introverted tendencies will actually deter them from taking chances and putting themselves out there for job positions. When I start to conduct interviews at my firm in a couple of years, I will keep this video in mind because some people just are not able to sell themselves correctly and may be skipped out on for the position. I will try to make each situation comfortable and calm so they are given the best opportunity to be and sell themselves.

Being an introvert myself, the entire video resonated well with me. Anthony, thank you for making me feel that being an introvert is not a weakness with respect to personal branding. There is some way we can package ourselves to maintain strong reputation or brand when we actually think we cannot. The tips you shared will go a long way in helping me package myself my introvert personality notwithstanding.

Anthony, this is such an inspiring and insightful video related to personal branding for introverts. This material along with the tips mentioned will definitely help me in the finance industry because it is critical to 1. build expertise, 2. promote the expertise, and 3. share the expertise with others. Therefore, it’s important to me that I remember these tips, so I am able to thrive in my professional career and how I market myself. Whether it be in job interviews, presenting to executives, or presenting for a company. This video shines light on the idea that just because you’re introverted does not mean you are not capable of building a personal brand. One can be introverted or extroverted and build a bold and loud personal brand or a subtle and quiet personal brand depending how you want to market it.

Hello Anthony, thank you for the tips. I consider myself introverted with extroverted tendencies. I find that when it comes to public speaking, planning is key. My first semester at FIU, I relucted to speak in front of the class. Since I didn't want to speak in front of the class, I didn't plan properly for my first presentation. When I started to speak I forgot some main points I wanted to present and stuttered on my words a few times. Despite this, I did execute very well and received a great grade. I reflected on my first presentation and modified my approach for the next two presentations. Although, I didn't plan for my first presentation I used the rest of the PERM method you recommended for the rest of my presentations. To my delight, my comfort level and performance subsequently became better.

Although I wouldn't call myself an introvert, I do have certain characteristics associated with the label. For those like myself who struggle to develop beneficial relationships with others, this movie was really instructive and useful. I appreciate that you brought up public speaking because I struggled mightily in my first-year public speaking class. We appreciate you making a movie for those who identify as introverted and think they can't market themselves as well as an extrovert. How you said that an introvert may score well on both the introvert and extrovert scales at the same time, but that things would function differently at different times of the day and week, I believe, is the buried gem that most appealed to me. Being an introvert myself, I have had to pull back from events that may have benefited my professional development. It is challenging for me to put myself in circumstances that I am aware would sap me in some way.

As an introvert myself, I have experienced holding back from experiences that might help me professionally in my career path. It is hard to put myself in situations that I know will drain me on some level. When Anthony mentioned that I can look for different skills to better fit my areas of expertise such as work that involves interactions with individuals rather than large groups.

Hi Anthony, this video was able to provide me reassuring confidence that even as an introvert it is very possible to be successful in the field. I myself have a introverted personality and struggle to move forward in my career due to this. This message is a hidden gem in itself because the key is moving strategically with using social media platforms to the best of its ability to brand yourself for people who may struggle with introverted qualities.

Previously, I have not given importance to promoting my expertise, Anthony mentions finding workplaces and positions that allow you showcase your best features. I would not say I am entirely an introvert, but sometimes social situations do get to the best of me. This tip would benefit me by choosing to put myself in situations where I am knowledgeable so that I can be confident and even perfect that area of expertise instead of being uncomfortable and resorting to myself.

Hi Anthony, In the past I have been more on the shy side and I did tend to hold back from marketing myself to certain people or companies due to fear of failure. I find it interesting that branding yourself on social sites such as linked in is a great way of marketing yourself as an introvert because it allows you to make endless connections without actually interacting in person. Promoting through different platforms is an introvert friendly process that allows for success.

I immediately knew I had to comment on this video because I'm not even sure what to label myself. Some people have called me an introvert, others have called me a social butterfly. I would have to state that it really depends on the situation. I really despise putting myself out there because I do not like to be categorized as a certain type of person at all. I try and avoid using social media as much as possible because certain pictures that I post may seem ridiculous to me later on. Some of the material presented in this video does inspire me to create a personal brand I like and that is variable enough. Even if I don't plan on using LinkedIn much, I still have to answer people when they ask me what I do for a living. If I study law I want to be the best lawyer I can be but I don't want to just answer with "I'm a lawyer". Instead, I rather say something along the lines of "I protect family businesses from getting sued". I know understand that I truly prefer to sell my skills in person rather than online, I'm starting to consider the idea of hiring a personal coach in order to help me plan a personal brand I can comfortably put online.

Introverts everywhere that are struggling with personal branding could really benefit from watching this video as it may inspire them to step out of their comfort zone and take the next step in marketing themselves. It is usually this first step that separates someone from remaining stagnant and complacent with where they are in their career, to getting a promotion or even their dream job. As an introvert myself, I know it seems extremely difficult, but it is definitely worth it.

Hello Anthony, thank you for making a video when it comes to people who feel they are introverted and have the feeling that they don’t have the ability to market themselves as strong as an extrovert does. As an introvert myself, I’ve always questioned my ability to market myself in the business world. What I found the most helpful tip for introverts like myself was to establishing my brand by excelling at something not just being good at it. By doing this I can build my reputation through my skillset as opposed to my speaking and networking abilities.

Anthony's statement mentioning to always perform tasks/duties at the highest level possible resonated with me and I couldn't agree with it more. As an introvert myself, I have realized that my confidence flourishes much more when I actively put in maximum effort and feel like I'm reaching my potential. When an introvert focuses on tasks they're good at and also applies maximum effort into it, they become unstoppable.

I was happy to see Anthony distinguish introversion from shyness. In myself, I see how introversion and extroversion are not opposites of the same trait, but rather independent qualities that someone can equally possess. It makes sense why introverts would benefit from being specialized professionals, rather than being ‘jacks of all trades’. Built into being a specialized professional is being clever with the advertising of your skills, which is only becoming increasingly accessible in today’s modern landscape through podcasts, forum websites, and networking platforms.

Why I saw this video until today? This is really good. I always thought I was a weird. Sometimes I feel extrovert and some others I feel introvert. Thanks Dr.Anthony, your great advice was one of the many benefits of the Master of Science in #Marketing at #FIU. Missing your classes.

Before even watching this video I knew I would gain many insights from it. I consider myself an introvert, and though I don't necessarily see it as a negative trait I do notice when it stops me from showcasing my best self to others. I tend to be shyer in group projects for school or don't like bringing up questions or concerns at work. The part of the video that resonated with me most was the first tip you brought up. A great approach to establishing my brand is to excel at something-not merely get good at it. The key for introverts like myself is to develop certain skills that match not only my personality but my work ethic as well. I think this is a great idea because my working and excelling in a few skills you are giving yourself the opportunity to showcase them to others. I can use this concept in my position at my job by taking a few tasks that I think I do well on but trying to work on them more so that I can then use the skills as a way to promote myself more. For example, I can work on my design and marketing pieces more so that when different opportunities arise I can offer myself and the past work I have done to prove my skills.

Hello Anthony, this video has given me a different perspective on how I can approach my personal brand. I find myself to carry heavy introverted aspects. Solitude helps me unwind and focus on what I need to do for myself. I used to view it as a weakness, but as I have continued to be more involved and pushed myself to more extroverted aspects, I realize it is perfectly fine. This video explains that no matter if you are introverted or extroverted you have to establish yourself and have confidence in your abilities. The age of the internet allows us to put our talents on a whole new platform that can still gain recognition or demonstrate your best aspects. No matter how you are take advantage of both and don't be afraid of being an introvert or extrovert.

I believe that choosing the specific skills that I want to build my expertise will inspire me to change my approach in personal branding. This will allow me to see what I find to be helpful in building my personal image rather than having to cater to what others would want from me.

Wow, interesting methods! The showcasing expertise approach was very insightful. I never knew that you can really showcase your skill sets on Quora and Reddit. In some cases, I believe I can be the shy introvert type during in-person meetups this method will be beneficial to promote my personal brand. Thanks!

As a person myself who can be looked at as a introvert, I was able to learn a few things from this video. Growing up I used to be really shy in school and be scared to talk in front of a big class. Despite that what i've realized is that it's all a mental thing because i started to get out my comfort zone and experience new things and this really helped out for me to gain more confidence. In addition to the topic sometimes one of the reasons introverts are not as outgoing is because they haven't found someone that can match their energy and or relate. In personal branding it's all about finding out who your audience is going to be and making the connections to make yourself more confident and a influencer. I've learned that not everything is going to be your cup of tea and at the end of the day one persons trash can be someones treasure.

Hi Anthony, This information is very inspirational as I can be introverted at times. These tips provide an alternate approach to deal with being an introvert. I will begin doing so by working on my personal brand via LinkedIn and social media platforms.

Hello Anthony, I feel like many people get labeled as shy as an introvert and automatically start believing that they're shy people. This can stop individuals from actually marketing themselves and connecting with others. The distinction that you explained can benefit many individuals and encourage them to build new relationships with prospects in the sales world for example.

Greetings Anthony! These tips were very insightful. Being an introverted person, these tips were very great to hear. Working as a brand ambassador, I constantly have to connect with others to promote products. Sometimes it can be draining to my social battery, which is why I often look forward to my alone time. I really enjoyed learning about these tips that will help me. I look forward to applying these tips to my work field.

Anthony, Thank you for making a video when it comes to people who feel they are introverted and have the feeling that they don’t have the ability to market themselves as strong as an extrovert does. I think the hidden gem that appealed to me the most was how you stated that an introvert can score simultaneously high on the extrovert scale as well, just things will operate differently on different times of the day and week. I always tell myself I am shy person and coincide that with being an introvert, but like you said, that is not exactly true, as I have been told I can be very outgoing once joining in on discussions. I definitely need to recharge my social battery when compared to my peers, but that does not fully mean I am always being reserved. Applying both introvert and extrovert personalities and shaping them to form a much greater personal brand would make anyone, including myself, stand out more in the professional setting.

Hi Anthony! I had never considered Reddit or Quora as an option in regard to promoting myself as a marketer. This is such great insight for those, like me, who are less enthusiastic about the social aspect of networking. This is definitely a new way to think about this topic and an interesting approach to take in the future when I am looking to network with others.

Anthony, as an introvert this video resonated with me. A lot of people confuse introverts with social anxiety, however I think that they are not equal to each other and being introverted can also be a perk, especially in the workplace as you can build deeper connections with your peers. Your branding tips not only help foster these connections, but they can enchance them as well. Thank you for the tips!

As an introvert myself, this video resonated with me. These tips have made me realize that there are many ways of promoting myself in a more comfortable environment. I loved how Anthony gave his RU-vid platform as a more introvert friendly way of showing his knowledge and expertise in the marketing field, especially in this time and day. Platforms like RU-vid or TikTok are now more common sources for others to learn and showcase their talents. These three tips are very helpful and are a reminder that being introverted shouldn’t limit you from creating connections and finding opportunities.

Hello Anthony, As an introvert myself this video was one that gave me more insight because there were tips I needed to succeed in the workplace. The PERM method is one that I now deem important because it will help me become better at my job. Also promoting my work is something that I struggle with so I could use different platforms online.

Anthony, I really enjoyed your video and how you break down branding tips for introverts. The hidden gem I found in this video is how RU-vid is a great tool for introverts to build their brand. As a realtor I've found it hard to promote myself on social media because I get camera shy but I believe following your tips can help me overcome that fear as I improve my skills.

vvThe material in this video apply to leadership roles in organizations. As a leader, one needs to be an excellent communicator so that they can express the ideas clearly. Clarity in communication comes from being in a position to talk clearly and remain an extrovert in order to encourage the people being led to ask questions or offer differing opinions about what one has said.

Anthony, thank you very much for making this video. I consider myself an introvert and this was a very good tool for taking my personal brand to the next level. These tips have helped me see that there are plenty of ways to promote myself in a more relaxed setting. This video, in my opinion, has the potential to motivate many people to achieve their objectives.

Hi Anthony, Thank you for making a video for introverts like myself. Many times, I find it difficult to put myself out there to meet new people, network, or attend an event alone. I feel as if I don't have the best social or communication skills, and not allowing myself to explore new things or people only sets me back. As you mentioned, one of the most difficult parts of being an introvert is to convince other people of your talents. I will take your advice to focus on building an expertise in an area that fits my personality, as well as make my personal brand something that works for me, so that I can feel more comfortable and satisfied with the outcome.

Hello Anthony, thank you for sharing these personal brand tips for introverts! As myself an introvert am very grateful, your video helps a lot. After watching this video I realized that I have not considered before that does not matter if I am an introvert or extrovert but as long as I am happy with the outcome of my personal brand. This changes the way I think about being an introvert and trying to market my personal brand is going to be difficult. You gave me tips on how to make that easy in a way that I feel confident doing.

Honestly this video applies quite well to my current job position. I wouldn't say that I'm fully introverted, but I have introverted tendencies. I currently work in an office within the university that I study in and customer service was never my strong suit as I sometimes shut down when hit with dealing with difficult people who like to take their frustrations out on those that aren't deserving of it. So after watching and listening to this video I know exactly what to focus on so I can fully get out of that introverted shell and be able to fully perform to my maximum capabilities in customer service.

I totally relate to this video! The idea of being introverted but not shy is one I've been working on for a while. As you pointed out, one way to become better at building your brand is by becoming an expert in an area. Before my most recent job interview, I researched everything I could about the company in order to speak with confidence about the product. So much in fact that the interviewer said they were impressed I knew so much. With your PERM Method, I can definitely improve in this area and be able to confidently speak not only about a product, but about my personal brand as well.

As an introvert myself, I’ve always questioned my ability to market myself in the business world. I thought it would be very challenging based on my experiences when being put in social environments. After finishing the video, Anthony gave amazing tips that I now can implement into improving myself for the future. One tip I use currently and can attest to is building expertise. I find that under certain tasks or projects I’m very good at doing, I feel much more confident because I know it’s something I can easily complete.

Being an introvert myself, these tips allowed me to gain a new perspective on my personal branding. I’d like to emphasize Tip 2 about promoting your expertise when feeling introverted. Even in moments when I am feeling more introverted, it is crucial to find a way to get others to understand my expertise. Another valuable insight is that I should not avoid excelling in areas often associated with extroverts. In other words, I've learned not to limit myself when it comes to expanding my expertise while building my personal brand.

As someone who sees themselves as an introvert, I found this to be a great video Anthony Miyazaki! What really resonated with me is when you mentioned the PERM method and how you said naturally as introvert we tend to self reflect. I find this to be the case with myself when creating a brand based on skills and expertise. I always want to identify which areas I'm strong and weak in to better refine my skills and know what can be applicable to me. This does give you better insight on what career roles to look for and the type of work setting and environment would be best suited for me. Furthermore, this goes back into what you said when building your expertise and brand because you have better understanding of your resources. I also liked what you had said when you mentioned not everyone is comfortable going to events and that building your linkedin is also great start! I always found it hard to go out and network in person, however I have had a lot of success through linkedin when it comes to promoting myself and have even received several job offers! I think its best to understand your expertise and exactly what you're comfortable with and work with that. Even as introvert there are many ways we can brand ourselves and still be just as successful as extroverts!

Thank you for this video, Anthony. I struggle with being a little introverted at times and I relate to your Tip 2 in the sense that I don't make my expertise all that known. I believe I am a humble person and I hold myself back when talking about the things I am good at to avoid sounding conceited since I am not at all that. I haven't really thought about the fact that employers wouldn't be able to know what I am good at if I never express it to them. Now I need to practice being comfortable displaying my skills.

Anthony's way of explaining when a person is an introvert and an extrovert helped me apply it to myself and analyze how do I perceive myself. Also, I felt identified when he talked about not feeling comfortable going to networking events and talking to different people. I consider myself an extrovert since I enjoy social events. However, I don't like when things feel forced. I enjoy networking with people when it is in a more natural environment. I have created great connections and not necessarily in networking events. I feel hesitant and do not attend networking events since I feel there is a pressure to talk to people and portray yourself as the best choice in the room. I see how my thought process might not be the right one but it is something that I find hard to do.

Hi Anthony, Thank you very much for this video, without knowing, it was something I needed to hear. Being a foreigner in the US has made my introverted personality come up which is something I tend to struggle with a lot because it is new for me. Now, with all the tips and information you have mentioned, I feel more confident about my own capabilities, I feel more encouraged to get out of my comfort zone, and begin challenging my introverted personality by doing my best in every situation. I can confirm when you said "building expertise when feeling introverted" is a good and effective tip. I'm in love with digital marketing and graphic design, it is my safe zone, so every time I have a task or have to do anything related to these topics, I enjoy the entire process and always try to achieve excellence!

Hello Anthony, As a person who has always been shy to get in front of a camera, or post in general, I really appreciated your tips for introverts to build their brand. Now, I know exactly where to start and I can plan ahead what my journey will look like. I have some type of expertise in several fields, but as you mentioned in the video, I should instead focus on getting really good at one of the fields that I already have some knowledge about and see where it goes from there. Thank you for all the value you provided in this video.

I would consider myself an introvert so the information in this video is valuable. I always thought I couldn't pursue a career in marketing because I'm an introvert but this video reassured me that I can be if i do it strategically. In the past I couldn't speak to customers without a manager asking me too. I knew I had to expand my expertise in communication skills so that I could excel in this area. Now, I feel more comfortable speaking to customers and my sales percentage as increased tremendously.

The part I resonate most with is when Anthony explains that being introverted doesn't necessarily mean someone is shy. I get a lot of people who tell me how outgoing I am and I used to be confused as to why people thought this. Well, Anthony explained it very well, when I am mentally prepared for a social event I can be very fun. However, often times, my social battery runs out and I prefer alone time to be able to cope. Tip #2 explains that if I am unable to show off my expertise through presentations, then I can do it through writing or other similar forms. This can be very helpful through out my career because I will still be able to show off what I know and what I can do.

It seems likely that the video on the characteristics of an introvert will be helpful to a good number of my friends who are introverts. I am aware of how challenging it can be for those who are more reserved to create their personal brands. The section where one is meant to build their knowledge is the part that can be of the most assistance. My friends who are more reserved need to become more knowledgeable about the processes involved in developing their expertise so that they can improve their personal brands.

I like how Anthony describes introvert versus extrovert in the video. An introvert needs alone time to recharge, whereas an extrovert refuels by being with others. It is mentioned in the video that being an introvert necessarily doesn’t mean someone is shy. I have been told this in the past about my personality. I feel I adapt to different environments. As mentioned in the video I build an area of expertise that matches my style so my personal branding may be successful.

I like that you inform us on the misconceptions of introverts. I am a huge introvert and I have been told that I will not get to where I need to be because of this. I have even had managers in the past tell me they were surprised with my great performance because I seemed too introverted and reserved. I will use this information to combat those statements in the future. Both in the workplace and personal situations. Building expertise in nutrition will allow others to rely on me regardless of how quiet I may appear.

As an introvert myself this was a very helpful video to watch and inspired me to strive to be great at what I want to do in my future career. I feel like if you don't speak much, your work should speak for itself meaning that you are very good at what you do. I usually don't speak too much if I don't have to so I feel like this tip will help me change my approach to my personal branding and behavior.

Anthony, your video about personal branding tips for introverts resonated with me. I am not an extroverted person, but the way you worded introversion in a way that allows others to understand that I am not shy, but rather that I need alone time to recharge. It is a better way to describe how I feel, and I shall use it to explain to others about my introversion. The examples and advice you gave for promoting my expertise were helpful, and I will be using them from now on!

As an introvert myself, I connected with the video as a whole quite well. Anthony, I appreciate you helping me understand that being an introvert is not a flaw in terms of personal branding. Even though we may not think we can, there are ways we may present ourselves to retain a great reputation or brand. The advice you provided will be very helpful to me in presenting myself, despite the fact that I have an introverted disposition.

Hello Anthony, Thanks for making this video for us introverts. I resonated with this video powerfully since I am an introvert and this was a struggle for me when I first started to brand myself. The most challenging part for me at first was sharing my expertise as you mentioned in the video. I resonated with many points made in the video and I will translate many of these points into my own experiences.

Anthony what a great video. The tips here can be used by any introvert and this video really resonated with me as I consider myself an introvert. The introduction was fantastic and I think delivering some context on what makes someone an introvert and what the word even is is necessary for the tips. Building expertise was the one that touched me the most as it seems to be the one that is the easiest to achieve and readily available. After watching this video I feel more confident in my ability to market myself while being an introvert.

Hello Anthony, this video helped me in many different ways than one. Being an introvert myself, I have struggled with going out and meeting people, but using these tips I know and believe that I can conquer myself and be more outgoing. My current job requires me to engage with customers and help them find the right pair of shoes for anything they need it for. There have been times when I felt anxious to speak but I knew I had to overcome the feelings to do my job to the best of my ability.

I found this video to be very helpful and a reminder to myself and others that being introverted shouldn’t stop you from doing what you want because there will always be opportunities and connections to be made for you. I wouldn’t consider myself a full introvert, but I have times when I am more reserved than other days. This has given me a whole different perspective on behavioral changes and even marketing because there are so many ways of marketing yourself. There is always going to be a way of getting something done that you feel best doing, so the most important thing is to find what that certain style is.

As a person who is introverted this video clearly was a hidden gem. I have always needed moments to recharge myself. I also found myself doing this quite often. As an introvert when marketing yourself it's best to take a moment to recharge yourself so you can take a moment to build yourself up especially when you're building your brand.

The part of this video that resonated with me is when you mention public speaking can be making RU-vid videos. When I was little, I liked to make RU-vid videos for my family. Also because I plan to record RU-vid videos showing the progress of my property flips where I show the process and provide tips. I can use the information in this video to market myself and market my property flipping videos by producing video ads to promote my videos on social media like Instagram and Facebook.

Hello Anthony! I consider myself a shy extrovert. I do well in small groups or one on one conversations but have trouble when it comes to public speaking. What I have enjoyed doing is networking in events and marketing the skills I have to others. By communicating with others in these environments where I feel comfortable in I have found it easier to market myself.

This video was very helpful. I consider myself an introvert and the idea of being with unknown people is extremely overwhelming and draining to me. The tips in the video are beneficial for me. I will have to remember them the next time I have to network myself. I thought it was interesting how he mentioned the key to building expertise that matches my personality and style. In my previous classes, getting up and speaking in front of an audience was something that I absolutely dreaded. In the future when I have to address a large audience, these tips would make it easier.

Hello Anthony, I am the type of person who is an introvert and this video was definitely helped. Realizing that being shy and being stuck in a comfort zone is a mental thing and discovering tips to help me get out of my shell is very helpful. Promoting my expertise is not something that I have ever thought about before. Being confident and finding a place of work that showcases my best features is a great way to promote expertise and not be uncomfortable.

Hello Anthony, as an introvert myself, I can say that you made a good point differentiating being shy and being an introvert. It resonated with me because although I consider myself to be an introvert, I am far from being a shy person. I agree with you saying that being an introvert does not necessarily affect your level of expertise and communication skills. In my case, being an introvert simply means that after long social interactions, I need some time to myself to recharge and move forward.

Wow! This was a new way for me to look at different approach in marketing. I find myself to be an introvert and often feel timid when approaching new people in a social environment. Despite this, I will now look forward to building my expertise and share once I feel more comfortable.

As someone who is introverted, I found this very helpful. Despite my introverted-ness, I have always pushed myself to try things that aren't "introvert friendly" such as public speaking and networking. The biggest advice I can give someone on the topic of personal branding for introverts is to remember that your "down time" can prepare you for the moments where you're doing things that aren't typically introverted.

Hello Anthony, As a shy individual myself this really resonated with me. Sometimes I think my biggest enemy is myself and I get in the way of my own opportunities but I realize that I have a chance just as anybody else. I simply just need to try to put myself out there more and get extremely invested in everything I do. Instead of finding the anxieties of my tasks I could find the more favorable parts of a task and focus on that.

This video has completely changed my approach to to marketing, personal branding and my overall behavior. I have always considered myself to be an introvert so I've always wondered In what ways can I make myself stand out if I'm not exactly great at being social? I think Anthony gave me the perfect answer in this video. It is best to focus on developing a skill to the best of my ability while making sure that this skill matches my values and interests. I also agree that platforms such as LinkedIn and Quora are perfect places for introverts to showcase their experience and talents.

I am an introvert and I currently work in retail which for the most part is difficult and can be draining after consecutive days of work. It is sometimes difficult to meet sales when I feel overwhelmed despite my knowledge of all the departments and products. Your advice on sharing my expertise is very helpful in my current workplace since most of my coworkers are very friendly and extroverted with customers and we can work together to meet our goals despite credit being given to them. I just have to be able to see it in a positive light that they are there to help me and meet the store's sales requirements. Your video is nice to hear sometimes it is time to change and time to promote/build my expertise in a way I will be satisfied and search for a job where I can feel comfortable when it comes to sales and marketing. Being told that as an introvert I am able to choose my personal brand 'loud and bold' or 'subtle and quiet' is also very relieving. I need to find what works for me while still satisfying my personal and career goals.
