400: Why Introverts Make Great Speakers and Leaders [Executive Speaking Series]

400: Why Introverts Make Great Speakers and Leaders [Executive Speaking Series]

Are you an introvert? If so, do you wonder if you are at a disadvantage as a speaker?

There’s a common misperception that most speakers are extroverts. But, from my admittedly very unscientific survey, many speakers I know are introverts.

We think that as introverts we won’t be as engaging or charismatic or energetic. Perhaps we’ve seen speakers we admire and we assume they’re extroverts.

I’m an introvert and I grew up quite shy, yet I found that public speaking was a great way for me to connect with other people.

In this episode, Diane Diaz and I talk about:

  • Why we became public speakers even though we’re introverts and we were shy as kids
  • What being an introvert teaches you
  • The strengths you have as an introvert as a speaker
  • Why speaking feels like a better fit than social media for many introverts
  • Our tips for attending and speaking at conferences as an introvert

We’re wrapping up the podcast series we’ve been around executive speaking.

This is the 400th episode of the Speaking Your Brand podcast! Thank you so much for being a listener.
