Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert? Understanding What Makes You Thrive…
For years, I thought I was a full-on extrovert…facilitating group discussions, energising rooms, training change content & always in the spotlight. But after diving into self-awareness, I discovered I’m actually an ambivert, I enjoy blending the best of both introvert & extrovert worlds.
Corporate life as a coach, trainer & facilitator leaned heavily on my extroverted side, but by the end of the day, I’d feel completely drained. As a solopreneur, I’ve learned to balance my energy by understanding my natural tendencies & designing a life that works for me.
DISC: Understanding My Natural Tendencies
One of the most enlightening tools I’ve used is DISC profiling, which helped me uncover my ISC pattern:
💛 Yellow (Influence): My natural energy to connect with people, inspire & build relationships
💚 Green (Steadiness): My love for harmony, stability & creating a safe, supportive space
💙 Blue (Compliance): My need for structure, precision & following clear processes
Each DISC trait has an associated colour, making it easy to visualise & connect with your strengths:
❤️ Red (Dominance): Focused on results, driven & assertive
💛 Yellow (Influence): Energetic, people-oriented & persuasive
💚 Green (Steadiness): Calm, supportive & dependable
💙 Blue (Compliance): Detail-driven, precise & process-focused
For me, understanding my DISC pattern explained so much:
My yellow side shines when I’m working with clients, creating trust & connection
My green helps me nurture a safe space for transformation
My blue ensures I create clear, actionable plans that clients can follow confidently
DISC isn’t about labelling…it’s about understanding what makes you tick & using it to thrive!
NLP: Coaching Myself First
When I started learning NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), I became my own first client. NLP helped me uncover what energised & drained me, plus most importantly, how to reframe my thinking to honour my unique needs.
One of the biggest shifts was reframing my perspective. Instead of asking, “Why can’t I always be ‘on’?” I started asking, “What do I need to feel balanced & effective?”. NLP gave me the tools to navigate my energy, set boundaries & show up as my best self.
Self-Awareness: The Key to Thriving
Whether you’re an introvert who thrives in quiet reflection, an extrovert who comes alive in groups, or an ambivert like me, self-awareness is everything. Here’s how you can lean into your strengths:
🔥 Introverts: Schedule regular quiet time for deep focus & reflection
🔥 Extroverts: Build in opportunities to connect & collaborate with others
🔥 Ambiverts: Pay attention to what energises & drains you, then create a balance that works for you
This is your #SelfAwarenessJourney. Life isn’t one-size-fits-all…it’s a custom fit, designed by you.
