Quietly Visible Carol Stewart

In this episode, I delve into courageous conversations for introverted women leaders. I explore practical strategies and insights to help you navigate challenging conversations with confidence and authenticity.



From defining what courageous conversations entail to embracing introversion as a strength, I provide actionable tips for building confidence, navigating power dynamics, and creating safe spaces for dialogue.

This episode is different from the norm as it is to announce that the tickets for the first ever conference for introverted leaders taking place in London on 13 September 2024 are now available.

If you experience imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and a lack of self-confidence, it can be easy to think it is just you. But many women like you across the globe experience it and in this episode, I talk about how widespread it is.

Is a lack of self-belief holding you back from going after what it is that you want to achieve? Or causing you to doubt yourself and lack self-confidence?



In this episode I talk about the importance of self-belief, what it is, and how to develop it.

Many people mistakenly think that in order to be seen and stand out, you have to be the loudest in the rooom. But that is not true. I have a saying that goes 'You don't need to be loud to stand out as a leader, but you do need to have presence'.



Inspired by a post I saw on LinkedIn, in this episode I talk about not needing to be the loudest in the room, but as a leader, the need to be visible and have presence. Something which many introverted women find challenging.

As human beings, it is part of our nature to want to be accepted, and consciously or subconsciously we tend to seek approval for our everyday and life choices, actions and behaviour from our peer groups. But what if this need for validation and approval means that we grow up believing and trying to be someone who is not who we truly are and therefore not living life on our own terms?

In this episode, former lawyer, Louise Lewis, shares her story of being a very driven, motivated typical A Type individual who hit burnout in 2018. During her recuperative phase, she came to the realisation that she had not been taking good care of herself, by living a life based, not on her own terms, and discusses the changes she made/her journey of transformation. Louise, now coaches women to be all of who they are, to not follow the rulebooks of others, and to live life authentically, on their own terms.
