In the work environment, it is often the case that the ones who ‘shout’ loudest are the ones who get ahead, and the quieter ones find themselves overlooked.  Some reports even show that introverts only account for 2% of senior executives, despite making up 30-50% of the population. 

In this episode of She Talks Tech, we hear from Carol Stewart  - Founder of Abounding Solutions, and Author of ‘Quietly Visible: Leading With Influence and Impact as an Introverted Woman’. 

From selection interviews and networking, to meetings and open plan offices,  Carol explores how introverts can overcome the challenges that face them at work, unlock their introverted super powers, and thrive as leaders in their own authentic, introverted way.
