Heidi Brown: Flourishing as an Introverted Lawyer

<p><strong>In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Heidi Brown discuss:</strong></p><ul><li>Overcoming stress, fear, and anxiety. </li><li>Introversion, shyness, and social anxiety…and how they are not the same. </li><li>Learning to speak for what you need for processing and energy replenishment. </li><li>Flourishing in your character strengths. </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Introverts process internally, extroverts process externally. Neither is better, neither is more engaged, neither is a better student or employee, they just think differently. </li><li>Authentically embrace who you are. You do not need to pretend to be someone else or a different personality type in order to do your job effectively and brilliantly. </li><li>If you have anxiety around performances, you may be overpreparing. Consider tweaking your preparation process to figure out what works for you without getting in your own way. </li><li>Find the things that energize and revitalize you and focus on those as much as you can. </li></ul><p> </p><p><i><strong>"What it means to flourish as a human being, or as a lawyer, is to set up systems that help you function well, even when you hit stress and anxiety. It's not pretending stress, anxiety, and fear don't exist, but instead knowing that our jobs are hard and our lives are hard we're going to encounter them."</strong></i><strong> —  Heidi Brown</strong></p><p> </p><p>Get a free copy of Steve’s book <i>“Sales-Free Selling”</i> here: <a href="http://www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling">www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Thank you to our Sponsors!</strong></p><p>Get Staffed Up: <a href="https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/">https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/</a></p><p>Overture: <a href="https://overture.law/">https://overture.law/</a></p><p>Moneypenny: <a href="https://www.moneypenny.com/us/">https://www.moneypenny.com/us/</a></p><p>Get Visible:<a href="https://www.getvisible.com/"> https://www.getvisible.com/</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Epi
