463: Think You’re Too Introverted For Executive Leadership? Here's the REAL Problem

Speak Up: Develop Your Executive Presence & Leadership Communication Style

To see if my Executive Presence Mastery System 90-day coaching intensive is right for you, set up a strategy call here.

What if the reason less qualified people get promoted while you—someone who delivers miracles—stay overlooked… isn’t because they’re louder, but because they’re adding value in ways you don’t even see?

If you're a high-performing introvert who's tired of watching others get the credit and advancement you’ve earned, this episode reveals the missing piece most people overlook: you're not just under-visible—you’re under-valued in the eyes of leadership. This episode shows you how to bridge that gap without faking confidence or turning into someone you're not.

By the end of this short episode, you’ll know:

• Why trying harder at self-promotion will probably backfire
• Three ways your executive presence adds visible value to any conversation
• Simple, low-stakes ways to advocate for yourself without feeling fake

Hit play now to learn how to turn your results into recognition—and finally get the leadership opportunities you deserve.

If you've ever said, “I practically run this place, but I’m still not the one they promote,”—listen, you're not alone. But you're also not stuck.

The truth is: promotions don’t go to the loudest voice—they go to the most trusted presence. And if leadership doesn’t see you as the person who can lead 300 people without breaking a sweat, it’s time to show them.

That’s why I built the Executive Presence Mastery System—a 90-day intensive that gives you the tools to build visible value, speak with energy, and lead with meaning—without selling out your personality.
