Susan Cain has sparked a national conversation about introverts, who comprise a third to a half of every classroom and workplace.  


Her book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking was an instant New York Times best-seller and is one of the most talked about books of 2012.  Cain's TED talk garnered a standing ovation and smashed a first-week record with over a million views.


In this unique lecture, Cain will focus on the special qualities of quiet kids, how they are often misunderstood and under-valued. She will explore ways that parents and educators can help these kids build social skills, manage the school scene and meet their full potential.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
