Summary
Being an Open Introvert myself and not discovering that until my 30s, in this episode I venture into a topic that hits close to home for we introverts - discovering your introversion later in life.
I discuss how this realisation can be pivotal in enabling us to understand our introversion better and use the natural strengths it holds for us.
The primary goal from this episode is simple - for we introverts to recognise and celebrate our introversion so we can build our careers and lives our life authentically. By acknowledging our introversion we introverts can begin to make choices that honour our needs and respects our boundaries.
Key Points:
Let not the late discovery of introversion be our weakness, but our strength. Introversion is not a flaw but a distinct temperament. Live and create your authentic career and life, empowered by your introversion.PRODUCTS / RESOURCES:

Summary
In this episode, I explore the nuanced world where introversion meets presence.
We often misconstrue presence as an attribute reserved for the extraverts and gregarious, but that's a myth I am eager to debunk. With Caroline McHugh's concept of 'interiority' guiding us, I talk about what it means for introverts to cultivate a genuine sense of self in both personal and professional realms.
True presence isn't about volume; it’s about value.
We introverts have unique strengths such as deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and a reflective approach to leadership that can be equally commanding. By focusing on confidence building rooted in self-awareness, honing communication skills tailored to our listening abilities, maintaining composure under pressure, and preparing meticulously for engagements where we need to shine—we too can command respect effectively.
Key Points:
Presence transcends loud charisma Confidence built on self-awareness Authenticity empowers introverted leaders

Summary
In this episode I delve into the complex web of Limiting Beliefs and Gaslighting.
I explore the intricate relationship of self-imposed constraints that hold us back from reaching our full potential. Drawing from recent episode of Flourishing Voices, my LinkedIn Audio event and my own experiences, I highlight how these limiting beliefs often lurk beneath the surface, subtly undermining our confidence and aspirations.
In this episode I continue with recognising how external influences can exacerbate this issue through psychological manipulation or gaslighting - leading individuals to question their capabilities and worth.
It is however by making intentional choice to develop a flourishing mindset, we empower ourselves to lead lives unshackled by doubt or fear instilled by others or from within.
Key Points
Recognise & challenge limiting beliefs Reject external negativity & gaslighting Embrace self-validation over microaggressionsPRODUCTS / RESOURCES:

Summary:
In this latest episode, I venture into the challenging world of navigating dream crushers. These are the naysayers and doubters who can appear in various forms - from close family members to distant critics or even as our own inner voice of skepticism.
Throughout the show, I share personal anecdotes and practical advice on how to identify these negative influences and effectively shield our aspirations from their discouraging effects.
We have the strength within us to persevere despite opposition. By establishing a firm belief in our dreams, intentionally surrounding ourselves with supportive people, asserting clear boundaries against negativity, focusing on our core purpose, and fostering resilience against setbacks, we equip ourselves with tools not just for survival but for thriving in pursuit of our ambitions.

Summary:
In this episode, I discuss the often-uncomfortable realm of self-promotion for introverts, born from awkward experience.
We are unlikely to be attention seekers who crave or even feel at home in the limelight, Being boastful is not in our nature, especially as it might serve to confirm the unwarranted perception that we are arrogant,
I explore strategies that align with an introvert's core values, ensuring we can highlight our accomplishments and skills without compromising our authenticity. By embracing a more subtle and gentle approach to self-promotion, I uncover how introverts can stand out in our professional lives while staying true to ourselves.

I found him lurking during a candid conversation with my chosen 'bro Paul. Further investigation led to an eye-opening revelation about how Ronnie works hand-in-hand with another subpersonality of mine Gladys, my inner critic. WTF - like I really needed them to gang-up against me!
