Welcome to the Introvert Ally Podcast
Even though I am an extrovert, I am also a strong champion for introverts who are often misunderstood and overlooked at work. When we let their quiet strengths surface, we unleash more ideas, creativity, and new perspectives. I believe that to change cultures we need to have conversations.
In this podcast, you will hear me talk with a wide variety of intriguing guests who each have their unique take on introversion. These torchbearers shed light on their experiences and offer concrete tips on what we can do to unleash introvert talent.
Thank you for joining the Introvert Ally Revolution!
