Can an Introvert become an International Speaker? If so, How?
summary
Asserts that introverts can become international speakers by starting small, using virtual events and mentor programs, and shipping lots of short sessions to build skill and visibility. Cites using New Stars of Data mentorship, submitting via Sessionize.com, and social platforms (LinkedIn/Twitter) to find calls for papers. One person runs ~60 virtual sessions in months, another pushes ~300 sessions in a year to regain confidence, which leads to measurable outcomes: speaking slots at SQLBits/PASS, a consistent personal brand, more job leads and teachable demos despite occasional failures.
