So it's a Venn diagram.

And there are people who can command a presence on a stage and you put them in front of one person and they don't know how to respond.

So in terms of messaging, I think there's a lot of overlap.

In terms of presence, I think it really varies a lot.

But I believe everybody can learn to be better at communication.

I wouldn't do what I do if I didn't believe that.

So if you are good interpersonally but not so good in front of a large group,

Use the skills you have.

Find a path to hone and develop those skills in a different environment.

And similarly, if you're good on a big stage, let's take what you do there and find avenues to help you interpersonally.

But they're not always the same.

And there are some people who are good at both.

Yeah, I certainly don't mean to conflate neurodiversity and introversion and extroversion.

But the question you're asking to me is, I hear it as a similar way.

Is there one right way to communicate or one better way?

And people who don't communicate that way, are they at a disadvantage?

I think there are expectations for what effective communication is.

But I think we can expand it and there is value for people

regardless of if it's neurodiversity or introversion, for example.

Extroversion tends to get rewarded just because you hear it, you see it.
