Episode 201: Stand Out without Shouting: Building Influence as an Introvert with Jessica Chen

Ever been told ‘just speak up more’ but weren’t sure how? Or sat in a meeting feeling like you’re happy just observing and don’t want to ‘add to the noise’? If so, this episode is for you!

I interviewed global communication expert and bestselling author Jessica Chen about how introverted professionals can confidently stand out in the workplace. From her new book, Smart, Not Loud: How to Get Noticed at Work for All the Right Reasons, Jessica shares her proven strategies for advocating for yourself without compromising authenticity, or feeling like you need to be loud to be heard. From the Emmy-winning newsroom to her top communication agency, Jessica helps introverts to unlock their natural strengths in business communication.

You’ll learn:

• How Jessica transitioned from Emmy-winning TV journalist to founder of Soulcast Media, where she’s taught over 2 million people how to master communication at work.
• What the "Babble Hypothesis" is, and how introverts can combat self-doubt, reminding us that what’s intuitive to you might not be as obvious to others.
• The 4A Sequence for Speaking Up, to help deliver your ideas with confidence in meetings.
• How to strategically ask for what you need without feeling ‘ick’
• Why managing your professional image is key for introverts, and how to do so in a natural way
