#103: When You’re Trying Too Hard to Be Chosen

Awfully Quiet is usually meant as criticism. 
Too quiet in meetings. 
Too quiet to lead. 
Too quiet to want more.

What quiet really is, is inward focus. 

And this show is about turning that inward fire into something visible. The idea into a business. The thought into direction. The perspective into leadership. 

Without putting out a loud performance of someone you think you need to be to get those results. 

Hosted by Hannah Sosa, who seeks to give quiet the rebrand it needs. From something that is dangerously underestimated to something that becomes a career defining trait and difference.

Through solo reflections and conversations, the show looks at what happens when you stop performing for attention and start positioning yourself with intention.

If your ambitions are loud, but performing them never felt natural... this is for you.
