Quiet Revolution (company)

Quiet Revolution LLC is a privately owned, mission-based, for-profit, American company formed with a stated mission "to unlock the power of introverts for the benefit of us all."

On January 24, 2012, Susan Cain published the non-fiction book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, becoming the focus of Time magazine's February 6, 2012 cover article[2] and delivering a February 28, 2012 TED talk whose video reached its first million views faster than any previous TED video.

[1][6] After receiving the advice of author and marketer Seth Godin concerning what would actually change peoples’ lives, Cain decided instead to formally found a Quiet Revolution organization.

[12] Quiet Revolution's facilities and practices incorporate non-traditional elements, including operating from a Victorian house facing the Hudson River, and having a policy that meetings not start before 12:30 p.m.[6] By explicit design, the company hires a blend of introverts (like Cain) and extroverts (like Scibetta).

[9] More concretely, the company formed an online education course for parents, a co-branded lifestyle section in The Huffington Post, a podcast, a website to support a community including writers and advocates, and young-adult books and shows whose heroines are quiet leaders.

[10] After training, ambassadors may advocate, for example, for fewer joint projects, more advance notice of meeting agendas, separate spaces for individual solitude, or fostering communication among co-workers of opposite temperament.
