Are You Establishing Boundaries or Erecting Walls?

April 6, 2015 by Beth Buelow 9 Comments

Why does stock photography frequently depict an introvert as hiding behind something? They show us with bags over our heads, peeking out from behind curtains or doors, or covering our eyes and turning our faces away. These images play to the stereotype that introverts prefer not to be seen or heard, or that we're timid, nervous types. As with most stereotypes, there’s at least a grain of … [Read more...]

194,622: number of books about success on Amazon.com Clearly, success is a hot topic. Rather than spend thousands of hours - and dollars - on hit-or-miss advice from the gurus, I invite you to consider that the answer may be simpler than you think. Success is fed by pronoia. What is pronoia? It's the belief that the universe is conspiring in your favor. It's the opposite of paranoia; Pronoia is … [Read more...]

How to Be Who You Already Are

December 26, 2013 by Beth Buelow 5 Comments

  When I was a music major in undergrad, my friends and I were orchestra groupies. We'd go to as many concerts as we could and always want to go backstage afterwards to see our teachers. Early on, we learned that we needed to act as if we were entitled to be there: wear all black, maybe carry our instrument with us, breeze through the side door with a look of authority and confidence. It's … [Read more...]

Lingering Invisibility & Quiet Invincibility: Lessons from the World Domination Summit

July 12, 2013 by Beth Buelow 12 Comments

When I was a little girl, maybe 8 or 9, I longed to be unique. The image that reflected back to me when I got ready for school each morning was achingly ordinary: brown hair, brown eyes, a few freckles. Blah, blah, blah. I was envious of a friend getting braces or glasses, because it was going to set her apart. My favorite biographies in the school library were of Beethoven and Saint Thérèse of … [Read more...]

Revelations of an (Almost) Egotistical Introvert

May 17, 2013 by Beth Buelow 30 Comments

I had an interesting awareness yesterday that you might appreciate - I was offered a leadership opportunity in a professional association I'm part of. I was flattered, but also hemmed and hawed about it for a few weeks. Here's why... Two things kept coming up: my business and my energy. My plate feels pretty full. I have some ambitious goals. But when I thought about my colleagues in association … [Read more...]
