Description
In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we examine the challenges facing introverts in workplaces that favor extroversion. My guest, Terrance Lee, the Introvert Leader and author of Quiet Voice Fearless Leader, shares his story of embracing his introverted style. We also explore ways in which introverts can more authentically engage at work and how extroverts can better understand, support and leverage the strengths of their introverted colleagues. About Terrance LeeTerrance Lee, AKA The Introvert Leader, had always avoided taking on leadership roles in his life. At the age of 13, an experience occurred which caused him to doubt his ability to speak in front of people, and caused him to shy away from the spotlight. This worked for Terrance until he eventually had to learn leadership skills by necessity at his first engineering job out of college. When he had been working in his first role for a short time, his mentor put in his two-week notice. Terrance then found out that he had to take his place presenting to a group of experienced engineers and pilots for a highly technical review. Despite feeling extremely nervous, the meeting that Terrance led went well; which gave him a giant confidence boost. Since then, Terrance has taken on many leadership and management roles as an introvert at several Fortune 500 companies in the defense industry, with proven results. He utilizes his platform to empower introverts to tap into their own inner leadership potential and is never shy about sharing the tips that he has learned throughout his journey.~More from Terrance Lee:https://www.quietvoicefearlessleader.com/~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the Boost Your Confidence BootcampJoin the free Impostor Syndrome ChallengeLearn more about the Leading Women discussion groupWebsites:https://yourcareersuccess.comhttps://impostorsyndromefiles.com Join the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other womenJoin the Facebook groupSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challengesConnect on LinkedIn
