In today’s episode I’m answering a question from listener Ibrahim, a sales agent at group vivendi Africa that deals with getting better results without working MORE.
Many high-performing introverts think that outperforming their earlier self means logging more hours, proving value, or being ultra-responsive. But in today’s episode, you’ll discover why those strategies can actually stall your influence—and what to do instead.
By the end of today’s episode you'll know:
🔥The 3 high-impact mindset shifts that signal executive presence without burnout
🏆How to move from "proving" to "positioning" in every conversation
🚀 A simple weekly self-review questions you can use to accelerate your leadership evolution
Listen now to discover how to outperform your earlier self with more influence, clarity, and strategy—not more effort.
Today’s episode comes from a listener question I love because it signals ambition, self-awareness, and leadership readiness.
If you’re in a fast-paced global company and you’re tired of being the one who’s always “reacting” — answering fast, fixing issues, being helpful — but still not getting invited into higher-level strategy or trusted with bigger decisions… and deep down, you know you’ve outgrown that version of yourself…
That’s why we created the Executive Presence Mastery System — to help you move from personal success to enterprise-level influence, with coaching designed for introverts and international leaders who want to speak with authority — without changing who they are.
