Ep 179 – Building your confidence as an introvert with Sarah Manley

Workplaces and meetings are not set up to get the best out of introverts so it’s no wonder that many people who identify as introverts can experience self doubt at work even in leadership roles.

Sarah Manley built a highly successful career in marketing as a deep introvert but was growing tired of being ‘always on’ and visible and increasingly felt like she was in the wrong place. It ate at her confidence. Then she discovered ‘Quiet’; by Susan Cain and she understood herself and her strengths fully for the first time. Sarah approached work with a new mindset and embraced being an introvert at work. In her book ‘The Quiet Catalyst’ Sarah shares her insights, tools and strategies to thriving as an introvert at work.
