#37 | Why Quiet Leaders Build Influence Faster and Get Noticed Despite Imposter Syndrome
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ah, the office Christmas party.
Less “festive joy,” more “performance review with glitter.”
Nia (our quietly brilliant operations manager ) positions herself near the buffet like a tactical genius. But when Gareth from Sales knocks the cable out of the snow machine mid-brag, the night descends into festive chaos.
Nia steps in with the kind of calm, grounded authority that makes real leadership obvious… without saying a word.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- Snow machine pandemonium
- One-woman peacekeeping forces
- Gareth being… Gareth
- Why quiet leaders are the ones we follow without realising
Power Move: Build Your Circle
Little Move: Be the steady one when nonsense erupts.
What You’ll Take Away:
Influence isn’t loud. Influence is presence. And the people who keep the room calm are the people who get remembered.
New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
