Podcasts about introverts

This week's encore episode from my other podcast, the Women in the Middle® Entrepreneurs show, about introverts can learn to own & play to their strengths authentically while rattling the cages of organizations to shake out the bias that favours the extravert ideal. Introverts are often known as “the quiet ones” and may feel that way too.  It's common for them to be overlooked.

Networking for Introverts Who'd Rather Get a Root Canal I Greg Roche Networking advice was built for extroverts. Go to events. Make small talk. Collect business cards. For introverts, it feels like punishment. Exhausting. Fake. Pointless. Greg Roche—known as The Introverted Networker—disagrees. He's living proof you can grow a powerful network without awkward icebreakers, or pretending to be someone you're not. In this conversation, we expose the myths keeping executives stuck—and the truths that set introverts free: Why “I don't have time to network” is a myth How 15 minutes a day beats every networking event How to be “easy to help” so people actually follow through The mic drop: The more connected we get through technology, the less connected we are as humans—because we've outsourced our humanness to tech Plus, a simple, immediate action to restart your network today This isn't about becoming someone you're not. It's about using what makes you different to your advantage—and reclaiming the kind of human connection technology will never replace. Whether you're an introvert who dreads networking—or an extrovert who's been doing it wrong—you'll walk away with a playbook that actually works.

If your life feels like something you need to escape from or recover from every weekend, my friend, that is not living. That is surviving. And you are here for far more than that. This episode calls out the ways we introverts hand over our choices to others and play small while convincing ourselves it is safer that way. It is my rallying cry for you to grab life with both hands, to stretch beyond the timid version of yourself, and to design a rhythm that feels like home. No more rationing your joy. No more invisibility. It is your life. Live it your way.   ** Key Points ** Own every decision Seize your joy Refuse to shrink   #UnapologeticallyIntrovert #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   Resources Download the 'Becoming Braver Starter Kit' at https://frustratedtoflourishing.com/cbfmci  Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

A leadership psychologist shares the toughest workplace turnaround of her career, the skill most leaders get wrong, and how to restore trust, unity, and results. In this episode Rebecca Jenkins and Callum Jenkins talk with Dr. Mira Brancu, leadership advisor, licensed psychologist, and CEO of Towerscope, to explore how and why leadership needs to evolve.  Mira has over 20 years' experience helping technical experts transition into leadership roles, navigate complex organisations, and build trust in challenging environments. Mira is the author of Millennial's Guide to Workplace Politics and host of The Hard Skills Podcast, where she focuses on the intersection of leadership, behavioural science, and organisational psychology. Together, we dive into: Toxic vs. healthy cultures - what the warning signs look like and how to intervene early. Psychological safety - why it's the cornerstone of innovation and high performance. The leadership skill most leaders struggle with right now - and how to improve it. Introvert vs. extrovert leadership - busting the myths and understanding their unique strengths. Humility and confidence - finding the balance between approachability and authority. How to rebuild trust in a team - after conflict, politics, or organisational trauma. Mira also shares her pivotal career moment, in being asked to lead a “toxic and hostile” workplace early in her career and the lessons that shaped her approach to leadership ever since. If you're a leader navigating change, wanting to engage your team more deeply, or curious about how leadership styles need to shift now, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.   Connect with Dr. Mira Brancu Website: gotowerscope.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mirabrancu Podcast: The Hard Skills Podcast Book: Millennial's Guide to Workplace Politics Resources & Links Rebecca Jenkins – LinkedIn | RJEN  Callum Jenkins – LinkedIn The CEO Revenue Architecture Briefing - access your copy here to avoid revenue growth plateaus Listen now - if you enjoyed the conversation, please leave a review on your favourite podcast platform and share it with a colleague who's passionate about leadership.

The traditional sales playbook was written for extroverts. It tells you to work the room, dial for dollars, and constantly be "out there”, which is a model that drains introverts and forces them to play a game they're not built for. The biggest lie in this industry is that to succeed as an introvert, you have to fake being someone you're not.As an introvert who has built a successful business, I'm here to tell you there's a better way. In this episode, I break down the blueprint for creating an inbound lead system that brings prospects directly to you. We get into why content creation on platforms like LinkedIn isn't a weakness for introverts; it's their ultimate advantage. This is the playbook for winning on your own terms, without ever having to be the loudest person in the room.▶▶ Sign Up For Our Social Media Sales Seminar:https://www.completegameu.com/registration-SMSSKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) How Introverts Can Dominate Sales(00:00:34) A Sales Blueprint for Introverts (00:05:55) How to Make Prospects Come to You (00:09:00) Leveraging Your Knowledge as Your Best Sales Tool(00:12:32) Your Excuses Are Over: A Challenge to Start Creating Content                             CONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

It's all about energy, and if you're an introvert, you aren't getting it by peopling. Not that you're misanthropic.  You just need to be very discerning about what and who gets your precious energy and build in recovery time. Deep dive with me into this topic Introverts are not incompetent extroverts, you have a whole different style of interfacing with the world that gets corrupted when you are expected to wear the mask of an extrovert. Introverts are empathetic and passionate people. You care about the people and causes they resonate with and commit to them unflinchingly. Because introverts expend energy from interacting with others, you selectively invest it in alignment with your passions. Introverts can see the patterns, connect the dots, and convene the right resources because you take the time to process - trust your instincts It's essential to rest and restore in order to be able to function best when interacting with others. Self care helps you exhibit your strengths not your weaknesses.

You don't have to shout to shake the system. In this episode, I am reclaiming the word disruptor and inviting you to lead change in your own quietly powerful way. Disruption doesn't need drama. It needs depth, clarity and conviction. If you have ever felt the call to act but weren't sure how to begin, this is your invitation. Stop waiting for permission and start tending to the roots where real change takes hold.   ** Key Points ** Disrupt with quiet conviction Influence with integrity Stop waiting for permission   #IntrovertDisruptors #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

 The disease of the Introverts and Perfectionists… You can do it, or you can learn… Failure is only possible if you can't learn from your wrongdoing or if you can't forgive yourself…There is always a second chance when you have learned from your wrongdoing! If you are a perfectionist… Think always, it is good enough and nothing is perfect. Everything can fail… Only God is perfect…All of these regrets and to feel guilty are based that we can't live our own moralities/standards or ethics…For example, you are a male and fail in the bed. That is usually for males the most painful situation in their life,… Even every man will fail or has been unable in the bed at least one time.  And females don't understand why males take that failing so dam seriously. Solution: Say sorry, that I was unable to sleep with you, and this has nothing to do with you, and that has happened before. This always happens if I am too excited, too much under pressure, or have too much stress. Please forgive me that I could not sleep with you. (But don't say that you have slept with another girl an hour before!!!)What is if you are addicted or have done something awful (had an accident, lost your job…). You feel guilty, and this guilt keeps you in your addiction or in your bad consciousness…So longer you go the wrong track or feel guilty so worse it becomes…The solution is easy, you choose to speak openly about your feelings, your regrets to your friends, family, colleagues. If you can't disclosure your emotions, your thoughts then go to a therapist… And even better you share your emotions with people who are in the same situation and who have overcome your problem… For instance, the AA (Anonymous Alcoholics) is a self-help organization for all kinds of addiction…. If we have messed up in our relationships or profession…First, we should analyze our moralities/standards and ask ourselves:Do our moralities really serve us?Are our standards not too high?Have we decided or lived wrong because our moralities are not fitting us?Are our ethics designed for feeling guilty?Did we overtake consciousness or unconsciousness our standards from our parents? Could our parents live their standards?Second, if we have done wrong, apologize immediately, Sorry, I have done wrong, and I try to compensate that… Was the input for your job as promised or enough?Did you honestly have a chance to accomplish your goal or job?Very often, we agree to something that we never have a chance to accomplish or do accordingly… Before we promise anything, we must feel good about it… For instance, it is quite hard to get from me any promise… For what should I give a promise when it is not necessary? In relationships, we don't have our partner under our control, and that is the beauty of a lovely relationship…We try our best. And through misunderstanding, we encounter tragedies, … That is normal.Forgiveness and gratitude for remaining in our love-relationship are a must to fondle the devotion to our lover! So what, we don't know what will happen in the next years… If the relationship is not fitting anymore, or the love is over, separate… Be grateful for the good time you are in the relationship and go on in your life! When you start something new, then very often you have done it wrong in the past.For instance, I have begun with Feng Shui… And after adopting the rules of Feng Shui I must admit, my previous life-time would have been much easier if I would have integrated Feng Shui in my life sooner…So what, should I beat myself up or should I be happy that I have invited Feng Shui in my life? When you grow older, you have made so many mistakes that you don't care anymore…My Video: How to forgive yourself? https://youtu.be/WouiqKO0yFwMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/How-to-forgive-yourself.mp3

In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Angira Sceusi, Executive Director of redefinED atlanta, a nonprofit committed to ensuring every student in Atlanta can attend an excellent K-12 public school. Angira was named to the 2025 Atlanta 500, a list of the city's most powerful leaders, and selected for the 2026 class of Leadership Atlanta.   Angira shares her journey from being a behind-the-scenes introvert to stepping into the spotlight and embracing her role as the face of the organization. Here's what helped her:   Name the self-doubt. Even with advanced degrees and leadership experience, Angira realized she was holding herself back due to a quiet sense of imposter syndrome. She asked herself, “Why don't I want to be the face of this organization?” and uncovered the self-doubt beneath the surface. Use grounding mantras. To counter that doubt, Angira leans on a simple, powerful mantra: “I am enough. I am worthy.” She repeats it daily and whenever insecurity arises as a reminder of her value and strength. Redefine what leadership looks like. Angira noticed that we often idolize a certain kind of leader—someone loud, charismatic, preaching from the mountaintop. But that's not her style, and that's okay. She's a thoughtful, cerebral leader who needs time to reflect before responding. By embracing her authentic self, she realized she could lead powerfully as herself, not in spite of herself. Angira reminds us that leadership doesn't require becoming someone else. When we name our self-doubt, lean into our truth, and affirm our worth, we can show up with power—just as we are.   Thank you, Angira, for sharing your wisdom and your story.

Why does evangelicalism feel like home to so many, yet leave others feeling out of place? This episode dives into the complexities of navigating faith, politics, and the church's role in society. The hosts explore questions of belonging, the tension between community and cultural critique, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world shaped by injustice and division. From personal anecdotes about introversion to deep reflections on justice, cruciformity, and the teachings of Jesus, this conversation challenges traditional views of Christianity while encouraging critical thinking and humility. How do we reconcile love for neighbors with standing against systems that harm the marginalized? What limits, if any, exist in extending biblical hospitality? These are just a few of the thought-provoking questions brought to the table. Whether you're wrestling with faith, grappling with cultural issues, or seeking to understand the intersection of theology and justice, this discussion offers insight and encouragement for the journey.

The more she learns of the Sevillas, the more Ceci finds herself forming a strange affinity with the feared Cegua, who she suspects is the one inspiring her paintings of a mysterious door in the forest.When the very door Ceci has been painting appears in the woods, she decides to venture through it with her new friend, Jamie. Together, they discover a well, guarded by the statue of a veiled woman. A well for granting wishes. The well of La Cegua.What starts off as harmless fun quickly escalates into something sinister when Ceci realizes that the wishes are putting the people she loves in danger and testing her own penchant for vengeance. After learning others are also searching for the well, Ceci must confront the truth of her mother's past and prevent La Cegua's wishes from being used for the wrong reasons. Ceci knows too well how much people will sacrifice for power. Every wish has its price, and La Cegua never forgets the ones who have wronged her.

Most people think branding starts with your logo. But it actually starts with you. This episode is all about how you can uncover what truly sets you apart by asking a few simple (but powerful) questions. You'll learn how to turn client feedback into messaging that actually resonates, and how to create a brand experience that makes people feel connected the moment they land on your site. I sat down with John Lee Dumas on his podcast, Entrepreneurs on Fire, to talk about what personal branding really means. Your Brand Is Built From the Inside Out Your brand is more than a logo or a tagline—it's your reputation, your essence, and how you make people feel. I share how my Greek family values shape the culture at brandiD and why infusing personality into your website is key to building trust online. If you want your brand to stand out, you need to start with what makes you, you. You Don't Have to Be an Extrovert to Be Visible Here's something that surprises a lot of people: most entrepreneurs are introverts. And that's not a weakness—it's a strength. In this episode, I share how I work with introverted founders to build brands that feel aligned, not performative. From getting clear on your values to identifying the platforms that actually work for you, visibility becomes much easier when you stop trying to be someone else. Enjoy this episode… Soundbytes 09:41 - 10:01 “When you've got confidence and passion about what you're doing, it's impossible not to talk about it with energy and with just an extroverted energy underneath it. Whenever I talk about the things that I love to do, it's impossible for me to be introverted.” 26:16 - 26:26 “No matter what revenue someone is making, or, you know, the level of visibility they have, we are all struggling with the same things at the end of the day.” Quotes “People always think a brand is just their logo, and it's not. Their brand is so much more than that.” “The last thing we want to help someone do is do something that they're uncomfortable with, because that's going to be inauthentic.” “It's okay to share some of those little hiccups that we all inevitably have as humans and business owners.” Links mentioned in this episode: Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?  Contact us here: https://thebrandid.com/contact-form/ From Our Guest Host Website: https://www.eofire.com/  Connect with John Lee Dumas on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eofire/ 

I used to write my "elevator pitch" in my phone's notes app before networking events. Like, word-for-word what I'd say if someone asked what I do. Because the thought of blanking out and stumbling over my words while some extrovert waited for me to get to the point? Absolutely not.Here's what my guest, Heather Nelson, taught me: the most successful business relationships aren't built by the person who talks the most.Topics Covered:Why traditional networking advice doesn't work for introvertsThe biggest networking mistakes that actually repel potential connectionsHow to transition from online-only business building to in-person relationshipsThe mindset shift that makes networking feel like making friends instead of sellingReal examples of connections that led to business growth and lasting friendshipsWhy the events you don't want to attend often create the biggest opportunitiesYour Top Takeaways:Instead of dreading networking events and forcing yourself into uncomfortable situations that drain your energy for days...You'll have a clear, sustainable system for building the professional relationships that actually matter. No more imposter syndrome. No more energy crashes. No more wondering if you're "doing it right."This means: You can advance your career and grow your business while staying true to who you are - coming home energized instead of completely depleted, with genuine connections that lead to real opportunities.Featured Guest:Heather Nelson, founder of The Connection Hive and host of Life Conversations with a Twist podcast.

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” - Proverbs 17:22As we wrap up our series on the temperaments and how they impact our financial decisions, we're turning the tables a bit. Today, Kathleen Edelman—who's been our guide through this journey—is taking the host seat to interview Rob West about the Yellow temperament.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.What Is the Yellow Temperament?The yellow temperament, known as sanguine, is characterized by high energy, optimism, and a deep desire for connection. Yellows are extroverted and people-oriented, speaking the language of fun and relationships. They often bring joy, inspiration, and laughter into every environment they enter. However, they also face challenges, particularly in areas such as focus, follow-through, and impulse control.Historically rooted in the work of Hippocrates, the four temperaments offer a timeless framework for understanding how people are wired to think, speak, and listen. The yellow temperament is one of four:Red (Choleric): Task-oriented extroverts, driven by power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Task-oriented introverts, focused on perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): People-oriented introverts, seeking calm and harmony.Yellow (Sanguine): People-oriented extroverts, motivated by fun and connection.How Yellows Communicate and RelateYellows are often described as the life of the party—fun, inspiring, and full of energy. They thrive on being liked, included, and appreciated. They tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and use charm, humor, and emotional connection to relate to others.Their innate needs include:Approval – being accepted for who they are.Acceptance – feeling included and invited.Attention – being given full focus and eye contact.Affection – being acknowledged and appreciated.When these needs are met, yellows radiate joy and creativity. But when unmet, they may seek attention in unhealthy ways or rely on charm to mask insecurity. Understanding these tendencies can help others relate to yellows with empathy and intention—and help yellows themselves pursue healthy, life-giving connections.Financial Habits of the Yellow TemperamentWhen it comes to money, yellows tend to view finances through the lens of spontaneity and enjoyment. They view money as a means to create experiences, give generously, and make memories with others. However, their optimism and impulsiveness can lead to overspending or a lack of strategic planning.Some common financial tendencies of yellows include:Generosity is driven by emotion rather than strategy.Difficulty sticking to strict budgets or long-term plans.A tendency to avoid hard money conversations, especially if there's potential for conflict or disapproval.Using money to strengthen relationships and bring joy.To thrive financially, yellows benefit from tools that provide structure without feeling restrictive, such as flexible budgeting systems, automated savings, or labeled cash envelopes tied to experiences (e.g., “Dinner with Friends”). Framing financial stewardship in terms of purpose, joy, and relational impact helps them stay engaged and motivated.Communication and StewardshipIn conversations—especially around finances—yellows respond best to positive framing and shared vision. They may avoid spreadsheets or conflict, but they are quick to dream, encourage, and cast vision. When invited into planning that includes moments of celebration or generosity, they are more likely to stay committed.In leadership or ministry settings, yellows often bring energy and hope to conversations. They are natural encouragers and communicators, able to uplift others with genuine warmth and presence. However, they may need accountability partners or systems to help with follow-through and details.Understanding their own temperament also enables yellows to listen more intentionally. With tools like Edelman's workbook, they can better identify the temperaments of others and respond in ways that build connection and clarity, both at work and at home.The yellow temperament is a vibrant and life-giving expression of God's creative design. While yellows may struggle with structure and impulse, they bring essential gifts of joy, vision, and generosity. With the right tools and a deeper self-awareness, they can become faithful stewards who reflect the heart of Christ, not just in their relationships, but also in how they give, plan, and lead.For a deeper dive into all four temperaments and how they relate to stewardship, relationships, and communication, explore Kathleen Edelman's featured article in our Faithful Steward magazine.

Would it be wise to start converting some of those traditional funds into Roth now—even if it means taking a tax hit—to avoid higher taxes in retirement?I'm 40 years old and have several 401(k) accounts from former employers. I've received mixed advice—some financial advisors say I can't consolidate them into a single account, while another is recommending I move them into a hedge fund that claims to offer a 15–17% return. What should I do?A few years ago, we loaned our son and his wife money to build a tiny home. They're now selling it at a loss to a third party. Are there any sales tax or personal tax consequences we—or our son—should be aware of in this situation?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication by Kathleen EdelmanWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
