Description

Many thoughtful leaders are introverted, and that’s not a weakness. It’s a strength.

In this episode, I share my top five pieces of advice for introverted leaders.

You don’t need to act like an extrovert to lead effectively. You just need to play to your strengths and manage your energy well.

You’ll hear:

  • How to protect your downtime so you don’t burn out
  • Why being quieter doesn’t mean you can’t have presence; and
  • Practical ways to feel more comfortable leading as your true self

If you’ve ever felt like you need to be louder, more extroverted, or “different” to succeed in leadership, this episode will help you lead in a way that feels right for you.
