There is a preconceived notion that we introverts are shy, but today’s guest isn’t buying it. Instead, she believes that as thoughtful, depth-driven individuals, we simply need a safe space to share our ideas and a gentle nudge to take action.
Though not an introvert herself, Reina Pomeroy, the owner and founder of Reina + Co, considers herself an introverts’ ally. A trained social worker and MBTI expert, she is on a mission to bust the myth that the first person to raise their hand has the best answer. Reina created the Introvert’s Paradise Retreat to offer introverted entrepreneurs an opportunity to thrive in a comfortable environment, designed specifically with intimacy and internal slowness at the center of the experience.
Reina is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and co-host of the Creative Empire Podcast. She seeks to help her clients stop spinning their wheels and take action on what’s most important. Her work has been featured in Entrepreneur on Fire, Entrepreneur.com, Brit + Co, The Huffington Post, Honeybrook, The Rising Tide Society and Best Friends for Frosting. Reina is passionate about educating creative entrepreneurs, and today she explains why she loves working with introverts, how her strength as ‘social glue’ helps her connect with others, and why she chooses deliberate over rushed when it comes to the adoption of new systems. Listen to learn how she developed her network and how she stays anchored in the positive!
