EP84 Shannon Watson’s How an Introvert Learned to Lead, Build Coalitions, and Make Politics More Human
Description
We trace Shannon Watson’s nonlinear path from theatre and psychology to public affairs, and how an introvert built a career convening people across differences. The conversation tackles invisible labour, reframing leadership as contribution, and practical ways to lower the temperature in polarised times.
• early exposure to civic life through family and door‑knocking
• career pivots from retail and banking to policy and lobbying
• introversion, authenticity and public speaking tactics
• the TEDx experience and trusting key points over scripts
• founding Majority in the Middle and building the Venn diagram
• creating “What We Can Do Week” and a civic pledge
