Embracing Introversion: My Interview on Quiet and Strong
I recently joined David Hall on the Quiet and Strong podcast, and we had a rich, honest conversation about what it really means to lead as an introvert—without pretending to be someone you’re not.
Here are a few of the key ideas we got into:
Introverts can be great leaders—when we stop trying to “fix” ourselves and start leaning into strengths like integrity, vision, and clarity.
Silence isn’t weakness—it’s strategy. Thoughtful pauses and calm presence are powerful tools.
Mindfulness matters—especially when the world feels a little too loud.
Structure and prep can set you free—especially in meetings and group settings.
Self-care isn’t selfish—for introverted leaders, it’s essential fuel.
We also shared some simple next steps—like how to advocate for your needs at work, prep for interactions in ways that boost confidence, and reconnect with what makes you strong.
If you’ve ever felt like your quiet nature puts you at a disadvantage in leadership or team dynamics, I hope this episode helps shift that story.
Let me know what hits home for you. I always love hearing from you.
Best,
Greg
