This was a very informative lesson. It helps us understand the science and behaviors of an introvert and how we can help them balance their communication skills to blend in and feel comfortable with extroverts.

Excellent presenter. As an introvert herself, she gave a more candid look at what introversion is and debunks some common myths about how they are perceived by society. She also does a great job painting a picture of what an introvert looks like in the classroom and how we can best accommodate and appreciate them among the extroverts.
