Can introverts thrive as powerful, authentic leaders in a world that often celebrates extroversion? Absolutely—and today’s guest is here to prove it.

In this insightful episode of the Positive Leadership Academy Podcast, host Javier Llerena sits down with Stacey Chazin, founder of The iFactor: Igniting Introverted Leadership, to explore the misunderstood strengths of introverts in leadership. Stacey shares a powerful story about saying “yes” to a flash mob—and why it was her turning point toward embracing her introversion instead of masking it.

Together, Javier and Stacey unpack the myths around introversion, imposter syndrome, and how energy—not shyness—is the defining difference between introverts and extroverts. They discuss how leaders can create inclusive environments where introverts thrive, the importance of self-awareness, and how honoring your true nature leads to greater impact.

Whether you’re an introvert learning to own your voice or an extrovert curious about how to better lead diverse personalities, this episode will shift how you view communication, energy, and leadership.
