Will an introvert be successful in gettinga degree in business?
My dream is to become a ceo for a company, but I’m a very quiet person and I don’t know if i will be able to have successful career in business since I don’t talk. I see shows of business people and there always giving presentations and talking in front of bigwudiences and I’m willing to try but I’m afraidit winter enough

Hi there. You can absolutely be successful! I am an introvert and have my PhD in Business Management and working on a second Masters. I am also a Sr. Manager and relatively successful. Look for ways to practice the things that stress you. I found Toastmasters extremely helpful with public speaking for example.

I think anything is possible. I am introvert by nature too, however I become a little more extrovert as I get to know people and become more comfortable. Supporting my wife with her business and volunteer activities has really allowed me to become more confident and more verbal around others. I think it takes practice but you can do it. I am still an introvert for the most part, but I am able to 'turn it on' when in groups of people or in meetings.
