You Don’t Have to Be the Loudest to Lead with Emily Jackson

In this episode of The Growth Signal, Alyssa Nolte sits down with Emily Jackson to talk about what it really takes to lead in sales. Emily’s hot take is simple but powerful: you don’t have to be the loudest person in the room to make an impact.

Together, Alyssa and Emily dive into why quiet leadership matters, how introverts can thrive, and what leaders can do to create space for every voice to be heard. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the stereotype of a “natural salesperson,” this episode will change the way you see your strengths.

Why listen? Because the best sales and leadership lessons don’t come from the loudest voice...they come from consistency, listening, and trust.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Quiet leadership can be more effective than being the loudest voice in the room.
2. Consistency and follow-through build stronger trust than any polished pitch.
3. Leaders must create space and give permission for introverts to speak up—or risk missing out on powerful contributions.
