Episode 5 – There are No Ambiverts

Learn why HSP-Extrovert Jenn Turnham makes the bold claim that there are indeed NO ambiverts and what that has to do with high sensitivity.

One might be tempted to assume that all Highly Sensitive People are introverts. In fact, only 70% of HSPs are of this personality type. Years ago, I took a test to find out where I was on the continuum and was found to be in the middle, with a small shift towards extroversion. For years I have confidently referred to myself as an ambivert. I figured the remaining 30%, of non-introvert HSPs would be split between extroverts and ambiverts.

Today, my guest threw that whole revelation out of the window and suggests I must stand fully in my extroversion.

Jenn Turnham is on a mission to educate the world about the unique, brilliant, and often misunderstood, sub-section of the population known as Highly Sensitive Extroverts (HSP-Es), a group she believes possesses unique gifts that are in short supply in today’s world, and has powerful voices that need to be heard,

With her background in applied psychology (B. Psych, BWRT (Reg.), Jenn has been using her knowledge, training, and experience in helping people use the power of their minds to overcome challenges since 2008.  She now focuses on helping HSP-E women thrive in a world that currently doesn’t quite understand them.

you can feel how the sun has infused everything he you can feel how the sun has infused everything here.
sunshine affects mood so deeply. the past few week sunshine affects mood so deeply. the past few weeks in Toronto have been greyer than normal. i’ve been immersed in work projects and have my swimming pool which have both helped immensely but today, being back in the sun reminds me just how much i adore it for fuel. 

serotonin up! vitamin d may be light as it’s still cool here, but i’m sure i’ll find a sheltered spot to absorb some rays when the sun is high in the sky. 

feeling very blessed to be able to take a winter break.

i'm zooming out. no, not zoomed out, but expandin i'm zooming out.

no, not zoomed out, but expanding the focus of the Happy Space Podcast.

when i launched the show last April, i was focused on highly sensitive people - empowerment and inclusion. i have since realized that there are more invisible challenges needing the spotlight. and hopefully, ultimately, we will operate with more compassion so we can #nevermindthelabels

there is much work to be done in what we know and also what we do not yet understand. our biases are natural and must be considered.

so, i have expanded the focus of the podcast to be about designing inclusive performance - making it possible for as many people as possible to make their richest contributions.

leaders want the best from their people yet the office culture or environment may not be inviting for all. if we are more intentional in design of spaces and work practices, this will get better.

i'm back with episode 13 - a solo episode - explaining the shift and inviting you to be part of the movement.

i'm excited for the next batch of 6 shows which include the following forward-thinking leaders and advocates:

- Mindset Coach and expert at managing anxiety - Paul Sheppard

- co-author of "Sensitive" due out at the end of February - @justandresolo 

- long time extreme humanist and thought provocateur - Tom Peters

- individualized work advocates - @alextheworkstyler ✊🏻 and @lizzietheworkstyler 

- co-founder of WorkTripp - @sjpagey 

i hope you'll join me. after all, everyone deserves a Happy Space.
