    "Best Books 2009"
    The New York Times
    "Currently winning our race for most intriguing book title of 2009 is the oxymoronic “Self-Promotion for Introverts” by Nancy Ancowitz (McGraw Hill). The 'how to' book is filled with tips (rehearse is a favorite). The author’s tone is supportive and she does not argue that introverts should become live wires. But what else would you expect from a book whose subtitle is 'the quiet guide to getting ahead'?"
    ABC News
    "Best Book Gifts"
    Los Angeles Times
    "Whatever's behind your reluctance to speak out for yourself, this is the first book I've seen with serious research on the topic that leads to a new game plan."
    CIO Insight
    "Must-Read Fall Books for IT Execs"
    Star-Ledger
    "Best New Career Books"
    POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY NEWS DAILY
    "Offers a solid dose of practical advice—alongside humorous anecdotes.... Ancowitz shows introverts how to take advantage of the unique qualities and strengths they can offer."
    The Independent Consultant
    "There is great value in this book, whether you are promoting your own business or consulting practice, or just want to be sure your talents are recognized within your larger organization."
    Small Business Trends
    "Written by an introvert for introverts."

“In a perfect world, diligently doing a good job would be enough to ensure pay raises and career advancement,” says Sara Eckel in her article, “Get on Your Boss’s Radar,” on Yahoo! HotJobs. If only! She continues, “But the truth is that you also have to put yourself and your work on display for your boss and other managers.” Eckel also says that shy, unassuming people are often overlooked. Check out her article, in which she interviews me and other career resources—for five tips to help you raise your profile in the office. Of course, you can do so while remaining authentic.

Bonus tip for introverts: Catch your breath between meetings, even if that just means taking a quick walk around the block, an elevator ride to another floor, or a visit to the rest room for a moment of quiet time. It’s important for you to gather your thoughts between social interactions.
