S3E4 The Introvert’s Guide to Surviving Cubicle Captivity w/ Shimeka Williams

It’s my pleasure to welcome Shimeka Williams onto the podcast this week. Shimeka is a career-focused introvert who grew up to believe that a college education would lead to a good job in the end. However, she soon realized that there was much more to the equation! Shimeka was introduced to entrepreneurship via network marketing.  While she shielded herself away from the people-orientated industry, the fire to become her own boss never diminished. In 2015, she launched a podcast called "Escaping Cubicle Captivity" where she shares her journey from employee to entrepreneur.   On the podcast we discussed…  How Shimeka’s life journey took her full circle in her career and now she looks for the best vehicle and tools. to help her successfully escape the cubicle and become a full-time entrepreneur.  The challenges that she faced as an introvert in a very people-facing role in network marketing.  How Shimeka pushed herself out of her comfort zone to further her prospects.  The affirmations that Shimeka uses to eliminate self-doubt.  The importance of personal praise, documenting your achievements and tooting your own horn to progress your career.  How to challenge others and stand up for yourself in a respectful way.   What 2018 has in store for Shimeka.  Shimeka’s favorite social media platform is https://www.instagram.com/escapingcubiclecaptivity where she posts daily, and you can head there to see her hand lettering designs.   I hope you enjoy the episode with Shimeka. Head on over to http://Facebook.com/TheIntrovertMind and share your takeaways from the episode. I’d love to connect with you.  I also offer a complimentary 30-minute call and copy of my book on how you can "Slay the Introvert Way".  http://theintrovertmind.com/call  I look forward to speaking with you.
