Book recommendation - The Art of Shouting Quietly by Pete Mosley

 

The Art Of Shouting Quietly - a guide to self-promotion for introverted creatives and other quiet souls.

 

The book shows how to:

  • See your quietness, introversion or lack of confidence as a strength – not a weakness.

  • Choose platforms for self-promotion that you can feel comfortable with.

  • Deal with difficult situations – like networking meetings – differently.

  • Create strong relationships with customers and collaborators that will sustain your business.

  • Lead with your values – create empathy with – and trust in – your brand.

  • Let people discover your strengths without shouting about them.
