"Face your fear. Anxiety isn't a weakness; it's a sign of meaning."

What if the quietest person in the room is the one who changes the world?

I recently joined the podcast Do Good to Lead Well with Craig Dowden to discuss my book, Silent Strength, and what it really means to lead as an introvert in a world that often rewards the loudest voice. The episode can be found HERE.

We expanded this discussion to broad professional and personal contexts, including founders, other professionals, family members, and friends.

We explore:

• How introverts can be authentic and ambitious without faking extroversion

• Recognizing that fear signals you care, not that you don't belong

• Using a "challenge network" and feedback to grow as a leader

• Solving problems collaboratively as introverts and extroverts

• Practical ways to manage meetings so quieter voices are heard

• Rethinking networking so it feels meaningful instead of draining

• How to manage your energy

My favorite point: anxiety isn't a weakness; it's a sign of meaning.

If you want to build big things on your own terms and collaborate better across personality types, this conversation is for you.

Do Good to Lead Well with Craig Dowden is one of the top leadership podcasts in North America, with listeners in 106 countries. It's known for its passion, energy, and expertise in positive leadership.
