Summaries

Summary Sentence: Provides a safe forum for introverts to explore their gifts and examine the “quiet” nature of their significant contributions. Also, provides employees with strategies for leveraging a broad range of strengths across the introvert-extrovert spectrum.

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

Are you a bit quiet, reserved and introspective? Do you prefer deep, meaningful, one-on-one relationships to "small talk," external stimulation and interactions in large groups? Do you prefer to have a full understanding of a concept before voicing an opinion during “brainstorming” sessions?  After a busy day, do you enjoy solitude or need quiet time to recharge? If so, you may want to join the first of its kind nationwide: GT's innovative Employee Resource Group for introverts, called “WEB of Brilliance.” 

WEB will provide a safe forum for introverts to explore and honor their unique gifts, and to examine the “quiet” nature of their significant contributions. WEB also will explore strategies for leveraging a broad range of strengths across the introvert-extrovert spectrum and bring active awareness to the impact personality style has on the Tech environment. 

All staff and faculty are invited to join WEB for its kick-off meeting:
Date: Wednesday, November 13, 2013
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Location: Student Center Ballroom
