High impact at low decibels
I speak to companies and organizations about how introverted and 'high anxiety' employees can survive and thrive in the workplace. My talks are conversational, humorous, and practical - no fluff, no jargon.
The workplace often seems geared towards extroverts and people with high self-confidence, and it can lead to the rest of us putting artificial limits on ourselves. In my talks, I provide a first-hand description of how to succeed in the workplace, as told by a self-described anxiety-filled introvert who successfully navigated that world, moving from technical roles to management to executive leadership.
Based on my book 'High Impact at Low Decibels', you will hear about topics such as:
- Coping with social anxiety
- Overcoming fear of public speaking
- Speaking up at meetings
- Becoming less resistant to change
- Triumphing over imposter syndrome
- Creating work/life balance
- Developing your own toolkit of stress-relief techniques
Who I Am
I’m a speaker, author, and fully licensed introvert. I’ve dodged networking events, overthought emails, and panicked before presentations — and lived to tell the tale.
I have more than 30 years of experience at Fortune 500 companies, both as a technical expert and as an executive-level leader.
I wrote High Impact at Low Decibels: How Anxiety-Filled Introverts (and others) Can Thrive in the Workplace to help others like me succeed in professional spaces where anxiety and introversion often feel like liabilities.
