Ep 218 The Majesty of Quiet Presence

Summary In this episode, I explore the nuanced world where introversion meets presence. We often misconstrue presence as an attribute reserved for the extraverts and gregarious, but that's a myth I am eager to debunk. With Caroline McHugh's concept of 'interiority' guiding us, I talk about what it means for introverts to cultivate a genuine sense of self in both personal and professional realms. True presence isn't about volume; it’s about value. We introverts have unique strengths such as deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and a reflective approach to leadership that can be equally commanding. By focusing on confidence building rooted in self-awareness, honing communication skills tailored to our listening abilities, maintaining composure under pressure, and preparing meticulously for engagements where we need to shine—we too can command respect effectively.
