In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Gavin Sharpe discuss:The role of emotional intelligence and mindset in personal and professional growthChallenges and misconceptions around business development for lawyersThe importance of authenticity and strategic networking in rainmakingPersonal evolution through coaching, self-awareness, and internal firm collaboration Key Takeaways:Many lawyers struggle to grow their book of business, not due to a lack of talent but because of internalized fears, self-imposed pressure to conform to extroverted norms, and a misunderstanding of what rainmaking truly requires.Introverted lawyers can excel at business development when they lean into structured systems, authentic communication, and consistent habits that align with their personality rather than trying to emulate traditional sales-driven approaches.By breaking down ambitious goals into small, specific, and manageable actions—such as reaching out to just five contacts instead of a daunting hundred—lawyers are far more likely to follow through and build lasting momentum.Significant untapped business opportunities often exist within a lawyer's firm, where cross-disciplinary collaboration and internal networking are overlooked despite their potential to unlock valuable client relationships and referrals. "The traits that most lawyers share is that instinctively... we're low in empathy... we're thin-skinned... we're not that resilient." —  Gavin Sharpe Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

I used to freeze at the thought of “marketing my school.” I'm not naturally outgoing. I've always been more of a behind-the-scenes, let-me-do-the-work-in-peace kind of woman. And for a long time, I thought that meant I wasn't cut out to grow a successful microschool. All I kept hearing was: “You need to network more,” “You need to post every day,” “You have to sell yourself,” and honestly... I just wanted to crawl into a hole.

This episode of the Lawyerist Podcast offers a thorough exploration of understanding introversion, shyness, and social anxiety, and how these traits can be leveraged as strengths, particularly in the legal profession. You'll hear Zack Glaser's conversation with law professor and author Heidi Brown, who shares insights from her book, The Introverted Lawyer.  Heidi provides clarity on the distinctions between being an introvert—someone who processes information internally and recharges with solitude—versus shyness or social anxiety, which stem from a fear of judgment or criticism. Heidi Brown, a public speaker and author who identifies as an introvert, demonstrates that it's possible to be confident and professionally effective while embracing introversion.  You'll discover how introversion can be a "superpower," bringing valuable assets such as active listening, thoughtful problem-solving, empathy, sensitivity to nuance, and strong writing skills to any professional dynamic. The conversation also covers practical steps for introverts to show up authentically and confidently, including mental and physical reflection techniques, reframing negative self-talk, and developing pre-game and game-day routines for high-pressure situations.  Heidi offers perspectives on supporting introverted team members to foster a shared vocabulary around individual strengths. Learn how to recognize and harness your unique qualities, or those of your team, to excel in the legal profession.    Listen to our other episodes:  #564: The Gift in the Struggle: Leveraging Emotional Intelligence for Growth, with Sara Muender Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist  #535: Lawyer Burnout: 5 Hidden Signs You're About to Crash, with Natasha Evans Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist     #506: Managing Stress & Avoiding Burnout, with Emily Nagoski  Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist       Have thoughts about today's episode?

Have you ever felt pressured to be louder, more outgoing, or more visibly confident in order to succeed as a lawyer? The legal profession often seems to reward extroverted behaviors, leaving introverts wondering if they need to change who they are to advance their careers. But there is another way—one that allows you to thrive while staying true to your natural strengths.   In this episode, I share insights from my own journey as an introverted lawyer and coach. You'll learn why striving to become a halfway-there extrovert is far less effective than becoming an accomplished introvert. We'll explore common misconceptions about introversion, the real differences between introverts and extroverts, and how to embrace your quiet, calm presence as a powerful leadership asset.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/215   Learn more and register for the Leadership for Women Lawyers Group Coaching and Mastermind (July to December 2025): https://www.uplevelcpd.com/courses/july-to-december-2025-leadership-for-women-lawyers-group-coaching-and-mastermind-experience

In this episode, we ponder what it means for a Tori Amos song to be “underrated.” Is “underrated” in this context even something definable? Or is it ultimately subjective and personal to the individual listener? Is a song underrated because Tori rarely or never performs it? Or is it a song that's been played so many times that we've taken it for granted and can no longer hear the genius and the grit that went into its creation? Or perhaps it lives on a latter-day Tori record that's less celebrated, less heard by the general public? In the spirit of our wildly successful – and a touch controversial – Best of Tori Amos episode, we bring to you The 20 Most Underrated Tori Songs. We repeated our very scientific method of each crafting individual lists of what we believe to be Tori's most underrated tracks – from proper albums only; no bsides, no soundtracks, no covers, no seasonal music - tallying each song's respective points and then ranking the ranking them in ascending order. The result is a playlist that spans many - but not all - of Tori's records, chock full of gags, goops, gogs, and go-figures. Given how underrated we likely all agree Tori is in the broader history of contemporary music, this very episode may be the definition of a fool's errand. Regardless, in the spirit of the woman we call Tori once calling herself an “ant fucker,” we are Introverted but willing to discuss Tori Amos' most underrated songs.Playlists:20 Most Underrated Songs JVKKMM

Most people hear “Holy Trinity” and think “mystery”—something abstract and hard to explain. But for Dianne Bergant, C.S.A., the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Year C, is a chance to root the doctrine in daily life. She invites us to see it instead as “the relationship that human beings have to the Creator.” God, she says, “literally serves us”—through creation, Christ, and the Spirit, who “does not go alone” but “works through us.” In this episode of Preach, Dianne reflects on preaching as an introvert, why she never writes her homilies, and her memories of teaching exegesis at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago—including to a quiet, thoughtful student now known as Pope Leo XIV. “He was a very good student,” she recalls. “I have kept every grade, a record of every grade. So when I say he was a good student, I have evidence.” Guest: Dianne Bergant, a Sister of St. Agnes and distinguished scholar of the Hebrew Scriptures, taught for over 40 years at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and served on the Pontifical Biblical Commission. ⁠⁠⁠⁠ “Preach” is made possible through the generous support of the Compelling Preaching Initiative, a project of Lilly Endowment Inc.

The INTJ is one of the rarest and most independent types—especially in girls—and their complex inner world can leave even the most insightful parent scratching their head. In this episode, we dive into the psychology behind the INTJ temperament, from their mysterious inner vision to their intense need for autonomy, structure, and meaning. Learn how to parent an INTJ child with confidence by understanding their four psychological functions (Ni, Te, Fi, Se), how they show up in babies, grade schoolers, teens, and adults, and what kinds of real-world activities will light them up. You'll also hear practical tips for helping INTJs build emotional awareness, balance their perfectionism, and adjust to life's inevitable curveballs. ✨ Take the free temperament test and find out if your child is an INTJ.

She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master's degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids.  Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast. Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography.

We are Introverted but Willing to Discuss Tori Amos, as always, but on this episode, we're gonna need some thoughts and prayers because we're going to talk about something else… sorta.No, we're not giving a Father Lucifer bridge-style middle finger to our audience. We are instead going to share our playlists of music by other artists that remind us of our favorite Tori Amos music.Let's face it: being a Tori fan isn't always glamorous and cool. Sometimes we are judged. Sometimes we are called obsessive. Sometimes “people” don't like us playing our girl on a speaker. But hey as Tori has famously said “I'm anchovies, if I were potato chips I could go a lot further.”Has anyone ever made fun of you for listening to Tori Amos? Not let you play your fave tune in a car on a road trip? We've made bulletproof playlists that you can use in those awkward moments when you can't put your Tori on, but you need to get your Tori fix. We like to call it “Tori, Not Tori”. Let's talk about maybe some of our other favorite music … that reminds us of our real favorite music.⁠JV⁠⁠KK⁠⁠MM⁠

Send us a textEver been caught in that awkward moment when someone recognizes you but you can't place them? For therapists living and working in the same community, these encounters create what I call "introverted therapist nightmares"—those uncomfortable moments when professional boundaries and social niceties collide.In today's conversation, I share how these encounters unfold and why I often tell therapy clients I'll pretend not to know them in public. It's not about being cold or dismissive—it's about protecting confidentiality when they're out with friends or family who might not know they're in therapy. But what happens when roles blur, especially as I've transitioned to more community workshops and training? That moment of panic when someone approaches with a friendly "Hey Beth!" and I'm frantically searching my memory banks trying to determine if they were a client, a workshop participant, or someone else entirely.The solution came in a beautiful moment of clarity during a recent encounter when someone approached me saying, "Hey Beth, it's me, Jessie. I used to work for the Y." That simple self-identification immediately dissolved any potential awkwardness. Consider this your invitation to adopt this practice—when approaching someone you haven't seen in a while, especially professionals who interact with many people, a quick reminder of how you know each other can be an act of genuine kindness that eases social anxiety on both sides.Also in this episode, I'm excited to announce that Marie Sloane returns this Friday to share practical techniques for staying regulated when the world around us feels increasingly chaotic. Plus, registration remains open for my virtual Kindergarten Boot Camp starting June 1st—a comprehensive program designed to build social-emotional readiness skills in soon-to-be kindergartners while giving parents concrete tools to support this important transition.
