Become a Self-Aware Introvert and Align With Your Unique Gifts – in Conversation with Faris Khalifeh
What are your biggest strengths? Do you know what your core personal values are? How about your personality type?
These are questions that we must take seriously if we're going to make our unique and gentle impact on the world. This is the advice of Faris Khalifeh; coach, entrepreneur, and all round inspiring guy.
I was fortunate to be able to chat with Faris about all manner of things including:

- The myths of introverts, sales, and business (stop looking at your "weaknesses" and build on your amazing strengths)

- What he would say to his younger self if he could impart some advice
- His book recommendations for introverts and sensitive gentle rebels
