What is the Mass ISPI?

The Massachusetts ISPI is a chartered chapter of the International Society for Performance Improvement. We are the premier, local source of performance improvement information, tools, and professional development opportunities for performance improvement professionals seeking a community of practice.

What is ISPI?

Founded in 1962, the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) is the leading international association dedicated to improving productivity and performance in the workplace. ISPI represents more than 10,000 international and chapter members throughout the United States, Canada, and 40 other countries. ISPI's mission is to develop and recognize the proficiency of our members and advocate the use of Human Performance Technology. Assembling an Annual Conference & Expo and other educational events like the Institute, publishing books and periodicals, and supporting research are some of the ways ISPI works toward achieving this mission.

Chatterboxes and Cave Dwellers: Demystifying Introversion and Extraversion

Naomi Karten

The introvert/extravert dynamic is a complex one. Introverts and extraverts typically exhibit significant differences in behavior, interaction preferences, and work style. And the two often differ in what, when, and how they communicate. Such differences can lead to frayed nerves and ruffled feathers. Worse, they can create misunderstandings and flawed problem solving. In this presentation, Naomi will help you improve your effectiveness in working with your more introverted and extraverted colleagues, co-workers and customers. We'll take both a serious and a light-hearted look at the introvert/extravert dynamic.
