The Sensitive Professionals Network invites highly sensitive people in business (or who are starting businesses) to come to a community TeleGathering on April 8th at 10 a.m. Pacific Time to share and hear from other sensitives about what’s it’s really like being in the not-so-sensitive business world.

To register for the call, join our mailing list in the upper right corner of this page and we’ll be in touch with all the call in details.

This is an important time to come together, build community, and find out how we can best support each other to thrive.

The results are in! A couple of weeks ago we ran a survey about Sensitive Professionals. We asked for feedback to help us create more powerful tools and benefits to support sensitive professionals as we expand The Sensitive Professionals Network.  More than 350 people responded.

1. Which of the following best describes you?

Only one answer was allowed for this question. The majority of you (39%) define yourselves primarily as “a sensitives who wants to find more satisfaction in their professional life,” closely followed (34%) by sensitives who want to start their own business.

These answers to this question show the general trend of the whole survey: Interested sensitives cover a wide range of types, reflecting a variety of interests for connecting as sensitive professionals and gaining access to information tailored to sensitive professionals.

2. Does the concept of a support network for sensitive professionals with monthly online meetings and other features appeal to you?

This was a yes/no question. More than 79% of you are interested. The comments on this question expressed interest in a wide variety of frequencies and formats preferred for meetings and features.

3. Which of the following features appeal to you as a sensitive professional?

More than one choice was allowed. Having an “online library of articles of interest to sensitive professionals” was closely tied with having “links to other resources and tools that help sensitive professionals thrive” – both at around 82%. This implies a preference for on-demand information. Receiving a regular email newsletter came in third, appealing to about 70% of you.

4. Which of the following lifestyle and business development topics interest you?

As you can see from the pie chart below, there was no clear first choice. Rather, the spread is virtually even across the board. The largest category below (the grey “Other”) is a consolidation of the five least-chosen categories.

As with your responses to other questions, we see a great variety of interests and needs for support as sensitive professionals.

Comments on this question included:

• “Managing overwhelm in business”
• “Managing your Manager”
• “Scheduling your time…minimal time management ideas so not overwhelming you with schedule”
• “Finding entrepeneurs to manage the business side of things, so I can continue with creating the products and having time for myself.”

5. Would you be interested in the opportunity of having your articles published online and/or in the network’s email newsletter?

48% of you said Maybe and 36% said yes to this question. We’re assuming that the Maybes may have a more definite opinion once we have more specifics to offer about this opportunity. Stay tuned.
