Is it a bad to tell new case team members you’re a little more introverted? We do these team normings in the beginning of projects and I’ve mentioned that I’m more introverted to help them understand how to collaborate better with me. I feel like it helps especially during remote work. However, I’m debating if I should stop because people might judge me negatively. Thoughts?

Depends on how you say it. Something along the lines of:

"I'm a bit introverted so I may tend to be a bit less (insert something you do less of than extroverted team members)

1. but you can (insert someway you'd prefer team members interact with you if needed)
Or
2. So don't think I dont like you or anything if you im not as (repeat insert something from above).

Say you prefer to process information before jumping into cross-functional work right away, but you are flexible and ready to pitch in. Don't brand yourself as an introvert, you've got to tee yourself up mentally.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges

Any tips how to lead workshops? I find it much easier in person as I’m quite personable (despite awkward in social scenarios!).
