1 Choose the right platform

Not all virtual communication platforms are created equal for introverts. Some may feel more comfortable using email, chat, or forums, where they can express their thoughts clearly, edit their messages, and avoid interruptions. Others may prefer video calls, where they can see the facial expressions and body language of their interlocutors, and use visual aids to support their points. Introverts should choose the platform that suits their communication style, preferences, and goals, and communicate their expectations and boundaries to their team members.

I have been in meetings when you asked for ''ice breaker'' questions and most of the times it's to talk about yourself. Not everybody likes this approach, and to force it or to expect that someone shows up in video, it's also rude. Everybody is expected to contribute when meeting virtually, however if someone would rather contribute without necessarily be on screen or talk about his vacations or food taste.. let it be. Let's instead focus on what each person can contribute, with individual qualities and skills. Perhaps seeking for opinions on a project will make everybody feel connected and communicate without talking of personal things. Give proper space and time to everybody to express themselves, respecting everybody's feelings.

In my experience, introverts are more keen on participating in virtual networking strategies! The key here is to avoid trying to replicate physical environments in a digital way. I find that recurring, playful points of interaction are more useful. Here are some ideas : - Have a few slack channels that are non-work related .For example, have people share pics of their work from home pets, talk about soccer or host a book club) - Allow them to show their personality online. From fun profile pictures on the company intranet, to communicating via memes or normalising sharing personal milestones as well as professional ones. - Give them spaces to learn together and share learnings. Register them in webinars and online courses.

La importancia de realizar un chequeo emocional frecuente en el equipo, similar a la revisión de proyectos y tareas. Hayque destacar que la buena salud emocional es crucial para el éxito de los proyectos, ya que la motivación puede fluctuar. Además, hacer enfásis en la importancia de centralizar y estructurar los documentos compartidos para evitar la pérdida de tiempo en su búsqueda y posibles conflictos. Es recomendable acordar una estructura compartida para el almacenamiento de la información.

2 Prepare and participate

One of the advantages of virtual team networking is that introverts can often prepare in advance for the interactions they will have. For example, they can research the background, interests, and projects of their potential contacts, and prepare some questions or topics to discuss. They can also rehearse their self-introduction, elevator pitch, or presentation, and anticipate possible scenarios or challenges. By preparing and participating, introverts can show their interest, expertise, and value to their virtual team, and build their confidence and credibility.

3 Focus on quality over quantity

Introverts do not need to network with everyone in their virtual team, or attend every online event or meeting. They can focus on quality over quantity, and seek to establish deeper and more authentic relationships with a few key people who share their vision, values, or challenges. They can also leverage their strengths, such as listening, empathy, and creativity, to offer support, feedback, and solutions to their contacts. By focusing on quality over quantity, introverts can create meaningful and lasting bonds with their virtual team, and avoid feeling overwhelmed or drained.

To start with, being an introvert can be heavy on duty sometimes and we do understand it. But internal communication/corporate comm is the part of any role whether you are remote or onsite. * start with small forums, maybe start with chatting and not video calls, ask questions to the one's who's working close to you. * observe and learn, to build up confidence you can try bottom up approach, start with people you are comfortable with then gradually move up the corporate ladder. * once you are comfortable with chat, you can move to voice/video calls. Building confidence is the key, that's on individual you just have to stop overthinking and let it go.

4 Balance networking and solitude

Networking is important for virtual team success, but it can also be exhausting for introverts, who need time and space to process information, reflect, and recharge. Therefore, introverts should balance their networking activities with periods of solitude, where they can work on their own tasks, pursue their hobbies, or relax. They should also respect their own energy levels, and avoid scheduling too many interactions in a row, or at times when they are not at their best. By balancing networking and solitude, introverts can maintain their well-being, productivity, and motivation in their virtual team.

5 Seek feedback and follow up

Networking is not a one-time event, but a continuous process of building trust and rapport with others. Introverts should seek feedback and follow up with their virtual team contacts, to show their appreciation, interest, and commitment. They can ask for suggestions, opinions, or advice on their work or goals, and share their achievements, challenges, or learnings. They can also follow up with a thank-you note, a relevant resource, or an invitation to reconnect. By seeking feedback and following up, introverts can strengthen their virtual team network, and create opportunities for collaboration, learning, and growth.
