One man’s curse is another man’s blessing. The Coronavirus-induced lockdown which forced the Work From Home professional scenario onto every working Indian, turned out to be an impediment for many, especially those who thrive on the support of colleagues and by interactions with seniors. But there are those who will tell you that it has come as a blessing in their professional journey. 

According to a report in the BBC, when the world transitioned to remote work near the start of the pandemic, an employee’s ability to adapt became quickly apparent. Some professionals were able to do their jobs just as well, or even better, than they could in the office. And experts say, several of these could be introverts by nature. Empathy and a propensity towards more thoughtful communication made introverts shine during remote working, believes Beth Buelow, career coach and author of The Introvert Entrepreneur.
