Some might think ‘introverted leader’ is a bit of an oxymoron… However those of us who deeply understand introverts aren’t surprised at all that they excel in this type of role!

After doubting his abilities for many years, an unexpected public speaking event set Terrance Lee on a path he could never have imagined. Today he’s an authority on introverted leadership, the author of two books on the subject with management and leadership experience in multiple Fortune 500 companies.

I was lucky enough to meet Terrance in person earlier this year, and it was a pleasure to connect with him again for this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast.

Tune in to learn:

• What led Terrance to understand that introverts make great leaders
• His own journey of discovery around his introversion, and how that changed in different season of life
• How a growth mindset and being willing to go outside of his comfort zone has allowed him to create a business on his terms
• How owning his strengths not only created a successful business but also helped him reclaim the fun of childhood too
• What Terrance really feels about small talk…
• And the number one energy saving practice that’s enabled him to balance a high pressure career, a young family and write two books (and begin a third!) without burning himself out

If you’re ready to be inspired to achieve more without sacrificing your personality and needs, this episode is for you!

Ever felt like doing something ‘crazy’? Something that ‘doesn’t make sense’ or is ‘bad on paper’?

Often when we feel like that the energy that’s driving the decision can be just too hard to ignore, and impossible to logic our way out of.

And as introverts, learning to trust ourselves when making big changes is vital.

This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m sharing some different ways our energy guides us in life, and also how we can avoid getting ‘led astray’ by shoulds and other people’s opinions.

And I’m also sharing a big decision I’ve made recently about this podcast - tune in to learn what, and hear me share the process of listening to my energy and my thoughts, then deciding which one to follow!

Having high standards is one thing, but if you’re aiming to make everything in your life and work ‘perfect' you're fighting an impossible battle.

This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I interviewed Leadership Coach, Women's Health Advocate and mom of four Chana Ross. She’s sharing her lifelong journey of perfectionism and the practices she’s implemented to overcome it.

We chat about:

• How Chana developed perfectionism tendencies as a child, and the ways we’re conditioned by society to act this way
• Why, ironically, trying to do everything perfect prevents us being in a growth mindset
• How intentional scheduling can help prevent over-focussing on specific tasks, and ensure you make time for self care habits too
• The number one habit Chana prioritises for her mental health and wellbeing, that positively impacts everything she does
