Blending stories and insights with simple techniques and exercises, this invaluable guide for the introvert will get you out of your comfort zone and trying new things in no time.

Whether you're changing jobs, joining a group, or moving to a new city, putting yourself out there in new situations is no picnic. Being forced to introduce yourself, having to ask questions among strangers, learning expectations of those around you—it's not fun for anyone! However, when we let our worries stop us from getting familiar with our surroundings and learning the dos and don'ts of our new environment, we seriously hinder our progress, joy, and the opportunities that await us.

In What to Do When You're New, you can discover the necessary skills to learn how to:

  • Overcome fears
  • Make great first impressions
  • Talk to strangers with ease
  • Get up to speed quickly
  • Connect with people wherever you go
  • This book combines the author's research and firsthand experience from having to adjust to a job transfer to Japan with that of leading scientists to explain why we are so uneasy in new situations—and how we can learn to become more confident and successful newcomers.

        Educator Rollag (chair, management division, Babson Coll., MA) asserts that success starts with doing something new. Of course, to do that well, one needs to make a great first impression, remember names, boldly ask questions, and fearlessly perform new roles and tasks. This book shows readers how. Using his own findings and the research of leading scientists, Rollag addresses typical newcomer anxiety and encourages people to concentrate on "getting better" rather than "being good" as well as see the benefits of approaching unfamiliar situations with a beginner's mind. Key points are highlighted in this well-organized, comprehensive book. VERDICT A must-read for newcomers in all areas.
