The Flourishing Introvert Talks
In this episode, I explore a question that’s long since intrigued me: why do some alliances flourish while others unravel? As an open-introvert who doesn’t hate people (yes, hi, I am right here, I exist!), I’ve come to realise it’s not about being opposites but about understanding the behaviours that trigger we introverts and learning to work with, not against, our differences. I share a variety of alliances and explore how they have helped me grow, learn and evolve, while some fizzled out due to unspoken frustrations or unmanaged differences. The game-changer? Recognising that most conflict isn’t about personality, but behaviour. Let's reflect on how we introverts can build alliances that stretch, support, and help us evolve as individuals; without draining your precious energy. *** Key Points *** Introvert–extravert partnerships work Conflict is behaviour-based Shared purpose over similarity #IntrovertExtravertAlliance #ThoughtfulCollaboration #BehaviourNotPersonality #Introverts #Extraverts #FlourishingIntroverts #IntrovertVoices #OppositesThatWork *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

In this episode, I share the pivotal moment that changed everything for me: discovering my personality type through the MBTI framework. Far from boxing me in, it offered language, understanding, and a sense of belonging I never knew I needed. This is not about labels or excuses but about insight and responsibility for we introverts. I further explore why knowing your type is just the starting point, not the full story. I challenge the idea of hiding behind introversion and invite you to see your personality as one piece of your self-awareness puzzle. This episode is for anyone ready to move beyond 'that's just the way I am' and step into choice, growth, and owning both strengths and struggles. *** Key Points *** Personality tests aid initial understanding Introversion is not excuse Self-awareness builds choice #PersonalityTests #Introverts #SelfAwareness *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

In this episode, I delve into the pervasive issue of extraversion bias and its impact on mental health. Many introverts grapple with a world tailored to extrovert ideals, often leading to feelings of misalignment and pressure to fit in. We know that this societal preference can significantly affect someone's mental well-being, leaving we introverts feeling inadequate at various stages of our life. I share my perspective on how aligning with dominant role models who exude confidence can exacerbate conformity bias and contribute to an environment that feels oppressive. I explore strategies for recognising these biases and avoiding 'comparison'-itis; the habit of unhealthy self-comparison that fuels anxiety. I then share why reciprocal support networks are important for maintaining our mental wellness. *** Key Points *** Recognise Extraversion Bias Avoid 'Comparison'-itis at all costs Build intentional support network #MentalHealth #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

In this episode, I unpack the common misconceptions and mislabelling of introverts. As a leadership trainer and coach, I often encounter scepticism about my own introversion due to widespread misunderstandings that equate/conflates it with traits like shyness, social anxiety, or even arrogance. These labels can significantly impact mental health and self-esteem, especially for those lacking resilience. Through this discussion, I aim to shed light on these myths and provide clarity around what being an introvert truly means. Dear listener, introversion is not synonymous with negative stereotypes such as lack of ambition or antisocial behaviour. We introverts have unique strengths including deep thinking and thoughtful listening, which are often undervalued in society's extraversion-biased lens. By understanding these distinctions better, we empower ourselves to harness our quiet power effectively both personally and professionally, and flourish without societal constraints. ** Key Points ** ⤷ Introversion is often misunderstood, mislabelled, conflated ⤷ Empower ourselves to overcome societal biases ⤷ Advocating for accuracy #MythsAboutIntroverts #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

In this episode, I explore the significance of valuing and managing energy as an introvert. Using the metaphor of 'energy beans', I illustrate how we introverts begin their day with a finite amount of energy, unlike extraverts who recharge through social interaction. I venture into how toxic workplaces can deplete this precious resource and stress the need for mindfulness in conserving our energy without being overly frugal. Let's be real, redefining productivity to focus on deep work over busyness can transform workplace dynamics. By setting personal boundaries and advocating for supportive environments, we create space for we introverts to flourish authentically. My hope is that you dear listener will reassess traditional management practices and embrace strategies that protect our valuable energy currency. *** Key Points *** Redefine productivity around deep work.

Emotions are part of what makes us human, and in this episode I explore the sometimes problematic relationship between emotions and the workplace. I explore the extent to which it is acceptable to express emotions like tears or anger at work given the increasingly macho leadership styles that demand emotional suppression. This leads me to share my perspective about low emotional intelligence among leaders and the personal costs of suppressing emotions, such as increased stress levels. Drawing from my own experiences, I share strategies for managing emotions responsibly in professional settings. Fostering environments where it is both safe and encouraged to express emotions requires sufficient emotional intelligence and maturity. Through reflective practices, we can determine if our feelings are genuinely ours or absorbed from others - and these practices contribute to healthier workplace dynamics. *** Key Points *** Importance of emotional intelligence Strategies for responsible emotional regulation Impact of emotional contagion #FlourishingIntroverts #Introvers #Emotions *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

Say DEI and you'll be ruffling many feathers these days. In this episode I am taking a deep dive into how we can flourish in these anti-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) times. As disappointing as it is for us to see a sudden rollback from DEI Initiatives, I suspect 'they' do not realise what a rude awakening they are in for. Very few of today's generation and switched on workforce is going to sit back and accept it. While broligarchs are trumpeting the anti-DEI noises, thankfully many organisations big and small are finding innovative ways to sustain DEI efforts without attracting negative attention. As someone deeply involved in learning and development, I stress embedding sustainable changes into company cultures while guarding against the barriers being raised by 'the trumpeters'. I say, let us use our frustration to fuel our advocacy for DEI, visibly and covertly, as we can. *** Key Points *** Keep the DEI advocacy happening Reframe if we need to Innovate to counteract anti-DEI rollbacks *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

Productivity, Productivity, Productivity - the word is being thrown around by the broligarchs who are pushing the hustle-grind with unreasonable deadlines, back to back meetings and a way to put human needs at the backburner. I talk about how brobsession with efficiency over effectiveness leads to toxic productivity, undermining our well-being and ignoring their duty of care towards their teams. But efficiency has never been as powerful as effectiveness, and then these latest diktats … and you'll find me having a laugh but the matter is serious nonetheless. I highlight why toxic productivity compromises our wellbeing and forcing us to participate in a work culture that's helping no one. Then there are 'influencers generously sharing their way' but what's the real cost of falling for that? We need to redefine success to include genuine contributions and impact over mere activity, and create inclusive workplaces where everyone thrives. *** Key Points *** Balancing efficiency with effectiveness.

I was in my 30s when I first realised and understood that I am neither broken nor abnormal but just an introvert. Oh, how wonderful it would have been if I knew that in my younger years. Better even if the adults around me understood my introversion. Through this episode, I want to highlight the significance of nurturing young introverts by drawing on my extensive experience in learning and development to help today's generations provide the right support to empower the future generations. In particular it would be helpful for them to understand introversion, about the impact of extravert bias and about power of inclusion. Let's help our future generations know head-on that their introversion isn't something that need fixing. Instead, it is their power and their introvert strengths can truly set them up for success. We have the ability to enable that by creating environments that support their needs.

I believe most of us are changemakers in one or other way, however in this episode I am focusing on the empowering journey for introverts intentionally aspiring to be change makers. With my background and qualification in change agent skills and strategies, I know with certainty that being a change maker is more about mindset and intention than formal qualifications. Our society and businesses are often biased towards the extravert ideal, hence it is crucial for introverts to harness our unique and quiet strengths of deep thinking, active listening, and genuine relationship-building so we can play a vital role in advocating for and implementing meaningful changes. I impress that we introverts can indeed become influential leaders by focusing on small cumulative efforts, the marginal gains that lead to significant impact over time. I talk about being prepared to respond to the extravert biases and leveraging quiet influence through written communication and meaningful one-on-one interactions, so we carry on our changemaking work while sustaining our quiet strength. *** Key Points *** Mindset matters more than qualifications Leverage quiet influence strategically Build resilience against extravert bias *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

Oh the myths about we introverts are endless, unfortunately though it happens with our continued collusion.

Our well-thought through and clearly presented contributions often command more respect than our louder counterparts. It is our deep thinking and clarity that enhances the quality and value of conversations by focusing on what truly matters.

With so much noise around us in both work and social settings, how do we quieter ones function effectively? Drawing from my nearly 50 years of corporate experience, I discuss societal biases towards the extravert ideal that starts in childhood and extends through education and professional environments. It's these settings and other's expectations that often pressure we introverts to significantly alter our behaviour which potentially harms our wellbeing. I believe it is imperative therefore for we introverts to understand the personal cost of sacrificing our authentic self for the sake of conforming to an ideal that is not ours. We can still use our introvert strengths like thoughtful problem solving and meaningful listening effectively without succumbing to external pressures. So how do we set social boundaries while remaining nonconfrontational in order to prioritise our wellbeing? Let's explore! *** Key Points *** Maintain authenticity amidst societal biases.

In this episode, I explore the significance of emotional intelligence (EI) for we introverts who are either climbing the career ladder or seeking a more fulfilling life. We explore the origins of EI that was then popularised by Daniel Goleman. It would be remiss of me to talk origins in this way without mentioning Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Understanding this history helps us appreciate how these theories have evolved over time and why they are still relevant. I believe choosing leaders with robust emotional intelligence is necessary to mitigate our current global crisis by challenging the outdated corporate mindset. By enhancing our EI through actionable feedback and developing a rich emotional vocabulary, we can lead more meaningful lives with stronger interpersonal connections *** Key Points *** Emotional Intelligence vs. Cognitive Intelligence.

Often misconstrued as superficial indulgences, true self-care requires a deeper understanding of our 'wants' versus our 'needs'.

This I believe is the right time for this episode for we introverts with festive season at its peak. I explore how we socialise on our own terms during the high-energy, high expectation festive season. As an introvert myself, I've often faced misconceptions that I'm antisocial, shy or arrogant. Apparently, introverts avoid people. We do not. It is about managing our social and emotional energy wisely. It is more about how societal pressures affect we introverts both at work and in family situations. It is about respecting our own boundaries while giving ourselves the permission to enjoy social events meaningfully.

The very first ally we need is ourselves. This could not be more true for we introverts as well. In this episode, I explore the concept of self-allyship for we introverts and how it differs from advocacy. Previously, I discussed advocating for system-level change to support introverts. However, self-allyship is about providing personal support and encouragement in a world that often favours extraversion. Drawing on my 30 years as a leadership and skills trainer, I emphasise the importance of embracing one's nature while combatting societal biases. It is in fact necessary that we become our own ally to navigate internalised negative beliefs and systemic biases. *** Key Points *** Embrace change with self-responsibility.

This episode may be a little uncomfortable or awkward for some of the listeners but it is a topic I believe we need to explore with positive intention. We introverts tend to undervalue our strengths and abilities due to societal bias towards the extravert ideal.

Growing up in England, where apologising was almost second nature, I've come to embrace my introversion without apology and that is no small-shift. This shift has significantly boosted my confidence and self-belief - more so now that I understand and take pride in being an Open Introvert. Through a personal story involving two siblings: Melody, an introvert, and Kyla, an extravert, I explore with their permission how stereotyping often leads well-meaning extroverts astray. I hope to educate extraverts about our unique needs which can foster better understanding rather than trying to change us.

To be an Introvert Advocate, I feel it is important that I share my own journey of becoming one. Having faced systemic biases towards the extravert ideal from school to business and everywhere else, I have learned that effective advocacy begins with self. By sharing my personal experiences of the extravert bias and the pressures to conform to extraverted norms, I hope to inspire we introverts to embrace our authentic introvert-self. Being self-aware and self-advocate is key to raising awareness, initiating change, and empowering oneself, we can challenge these biases together.

This week I explore an intriguing question posed by a client of mine: Can introverts truly influence others? In this episode I dive into the nuanced distinctions between being an influencer and being influential, especially from the perspective of we introverts. The perception by introverts themselves and others, is that we introverts lack influence due to our quiet, think-say-think processing nature. Our preference for meaningful content is often overlooked because of the hyper-active, always on, and highly visible extravert influencers. You see, influencing is a responsibility, ethical influence at least - which seeks mutual benefits as opposed to self-serving manipulative ends. There is a difference between honest intentions and manipulation and I explore that through the lens of Jeanie Laborde's book - Influencing with Integrity. *** Key Points *** Introverts have inherent influencing strengths Understanding Ethical vs manipulative influence Strategic thinking for intentional communication *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.…

*** Summary *** In this episode, I confront the stubborn myth the return-to-office is the only way for business and teams to thrive. It is time we accept that hybrid workplaces are here to stay and I urge leaders to be inclusive in exploring the new ways of working that prioritise employee well-being and, crucially, introvert inclusion. The outdated leadership practices often perpetuate bias—especially against those who thrive outside traditional office settings. It’s a bold invitation to redesign workplace culture with flexibility, productivity, and genuine connection at the core, rather than clinging to outdated methods. It is time to redefine the leadership norms and embrace "grown-up conversations" around flexibility, trust, and connection. Bold, inclusive hybrid working isn’t just possible—it’s necessary. *** Key Points *** Presenteeism is not Productivity Proximity bias is real - and is outdated.

Is presence, and being present one and the same thing? In this episode I explore the curious concept of presence and being present from an introvert's perspective. I am choosing to explore this from the lens of negotiation. Through introspection and reflection on personal significance, impact on personal brand, and internal conflicts, I take you towards a deeper understanding of the distinction between Presence and Being Present. And to complement that, I share some tips on how you apply and manage both authentically, and when. See, we are negotiating! How do we navigate stepping out of and beyond our comfort zone in a world driven by the bias towards the extravert ideal. It is our intentional and well thought actions that truly help us being present in alignment with who we are, and why we are present. Key Points Balancing Presence with Being Present. Recognising and combating bias against the introverts. Being intentionally present and active, authentically.

Summary Negotiation, Negotiation, Negotiation - it is happening everywhere and at all stages of our lives. I explore negotiation skills specifically tailored for introverts and how we already negotiate in our day to day lives. More importantly, how and why being more intentional in our negotiation skills serves us well. I debunk the myth that negotiation only happens in boardrooms and among people in suits and ties. To the contrary negotiation plays a crucial role in daily interactions as we advocate for ourselves, resolve conflicts, and maintain personal boundaries. You'll hear me sing praises of William Ury, and I do so unapologetically. Be it setting realistic deadlines or managing household responsibilities - negotiating skills come in handy. Hence, the sooner we learn these skills as introverts, the better we can do in our career, relationships and overall life - in collaborating, with clear terms and boundaries. Key Points Everyday relevance of negotiation skills. Separate person from problem strategy. Empowerment through self-advocacy tactics.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSummary If you are an introvert, I can almost guarantee that you have experienced bias. This episode is all about the prevalent extroversion bias within organisations. Our societal preferences for traits like chattiness and outward displays of confidence can mean that we are sidelined and our contributions go unheard. I bravely explore bias we introverts are subjected to in environments that favour extravert behaviours – from being overlooked for promotions to feeling excluded from key projects. It is time that we recognise and confront these biases rather than allowing them to hinder career progress.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSummary Let us unpack the complexities of building dynamically inclusive teams by leveraging the natural strengths that introverts bring to the table. In this episode we explore how inclusivity within teams can be achieved through mutual trust, psychological safety, and what Enola Consulting calls "compassionate efficiency." It's about creating a space where everyone feels valued and respected. The reality is that inclusivity requires ongoing effort; it's not just a box to tick and we mustn't treat it so. It is an ongoing journey. It is important that leaders practice genuine empathy, encourage diverse perspectives, and demonstrate actual interest in their team members and their wellbeing —to foster an inclusive environment. Key Points Inclusivity requires ongoing self-awareness and commitment in leaders. Leaders must practice genuine empathy and duty of care. Building mutual trust is the key.

Summary If only people could just listen, and notice how it helps people to heal. Despite my decades-long campaign to improve our listening skills, people are more interested in learning how to present or use language to influence. In fact from early years, we're taught how to read & write, but not how to listen. Central to this episode is the inherent ability of introverts to be comfortable with silence which gives us the edge when we need to listen. And when we listen to understand not just respond, we enable people to begin to heal. This is an art that should be embraced because to someone who needs to be heard, it has a magical effect. In a recent professional engagement, I witnessed how poor listening hindered communication and undermined respect, which I believe affects trust and connection. I talk about distractions, how it erodes our listening prowess and leads to disconnected interactions - and how genuine listening can provide emotional security, a foundation of sincere human connection. Key Points Listening provides validation & emotional security. Poor listening is detrimental to connections. Anyone can improve their listening ability - it takes intention.
