Overcoming Awkward Aims to Help Introverts Thrive in the Workplace Some people are electrified by the idea of business networking events, cold-calling and striking up conversations with total strangers. But for introverts, new people, new places and new challenges can trigger a knee-jerk reaction to run and hide. 

To thrive in any industry where success hinges heavily on an ability to build relationships, an introvert must break free from crippling shyness and social anxiety. Here to help is bona fide introvert master marketer Monica Parkin. 

In her ground-breaking new book, Overcoming Awkward: The Introvert’s Guide to Networking, Marketing, and Sales, Parkin shares actionable strategies to create connections, build relationships, and establish loyal, repeat customers.

“How did a shy, socially awkward introvert like me turn into a master relationship builder?” Parkin asks. “Well, the answer is that you can evolve. … I was making myself crazy with all the social cues I did not understand and wondered why this comes so naturally to some people but was so impossibly hard for me. Today, I love the opportunity to go to events, meet people, hear people's stories and build relationships. I can have the best of both worlds now, and so can you.” 

Part memoir, part instruction guide, Overcoming Awkward reveals Parkin’s private struggles, shared with candid honesty and vulnerability. Her “one step at a time” approach, punctuated with personal anecdotes and humor, is easy to follow and implement. 

In Overcoming Awkward, readers will learn:
- How to overcome social fears; 
- How to build relationships effortlessly; 
- Effective social media marketing;
- How to sow seeds for organic growth;
- How to win over angry clients;
- How to expand their comfort zone;
- The value of expert mentorship;
- And so much more.

“This is the definitive guide you've been waiting for,” Parkin adds. “Gone is the advice to introverts that they must learn to take on a persona that is light years away from who they really are. You will finally be free to just be you and will discover that your vibe attracts your tribe.”

Monica Parkin is a licensed mortgage broker and successful serial entrepreneur. She is an award-winning international speaker and the host of the Juggling without Balls podcast. She is also a self-professed introvert and crazy goat lady who lives on a small farm with an assortment of furry creatures. She loves to hear feedback from readers and looks forward to opportunities to speak on topics that empower others to feel more connected, confident and successful.

More about

My Protect Kit began when the world needed protection during a pandemic like no other. A team of entrepreneurs, designers, suppliers and more, realized that the world needed a solution to the PPE crisis. With more than 25 years of business experience, our team wanted to fit as much protection as possible in the smallest, most convenient, resealable bag.

More about the co-founder

Darin Milman, Co - Founder and CEO of My Protect Kit, LLC, has worked with countless startup companies and helped facilitate their unprecedented growth. Mr. Milman and his partner Doron teamed up together to create a product that is small enough to fit in your hand, pocket, purse, backpack, glove compartment, etc. and still be able to hold as many protective items in it as possible. The idea was to create the most conveniently packaged personal care kit while you’re on the go. The company began producing the smallest, and most convenient PPE kits, and it has now created a kit for every situation.

Hello,

My name is Heidi Fralick. I am the agent for my sister, Robin Jelinek, who channels a group of spirits collectively known as Athena in Truth. She is a remarkable person and the group she channels has come to assist people in living their best lives. They have a unique way of presenting that is unlike a lot of other channelers. Their mission is to help anyone interested in becoming unstuck in their lives and experiencing true joy. I think that she would be a great resource for you to interview. Here is a link from the Kevin Moore show sharing her story and a brief interview with the group she channels: https://youtu.be/aWs3r8oia7Y  Her interview starts around 3 minutes and 40 seconds into show. Her website is: https://www.athenaintruth.com/  and her podcast is: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ziMxXW45FEdRV2bM3Cke0

Please let me know if you would be interested in doing an interview with her or having her provide a reading. I would be happy to make the connection.

Thank you!

Heidi Fralick

Robin Jelinek -Channeler of Athena in Truth

For over 40 years, Robin has been pursuing a greater meaning in life. She studied metaphysics and spirituality in great depth trying to find something, especially after her kids had grown up and moved out of the house. About 20 years ago she experienced a kundalini awakening that is a very rare, almost out-of-body experience. It’s an experience that people have supposedly spent entire lifetimes to achieve. It was about this time that the group came knocking at Robin’s door, but it took another 20 years for her to realize it.

Robin was first a wife, then a mother, and now she’s a channeler. She doesn’t view herself as being gifted or higher because information flows through her. She’s simply a vessel for the truth. She does her best to share the information with others. She must completely remove herself from the delivery and outcome. In this way, the information being brought forth can be pure spirit.
