Executive visibility… a lot of people tell me, “Tania, I'm just too introverted to put myself out there.” I really do get it. Being perceived and opening yourself up to potential judgment can be very scary.
But when I think about what introversion really is: thriving from time spent alone or in 1:1 conversations where we feel seen and understood - executive visibility is a perfect fit for our tendencies.
In this episode, I share ways to shift your mindset if introversion is a barrier to getting visible. I also share action steps to show up in a way that feels authentic to you.
We discussed:
[02:25] Executive visibility matters – and your introversion can actually help
[04:46] Reframing how we think about visibility
[09:10] Get clear on why you’re getting visible
[11:39] Build your brand in a way that feels good to you
[17:53] Focus on resonance and celebrate every win

Using LinkedIn is kind of like eating your vegetables. You know it’s good for you and something you’re “supposed” to do.
But you’re a social impact communicator. You’re busy and you have a lot of options for ways to get your message out there. That means you have to be strategic about where you spend your time.
In this episode, I share 10 ways you can strategically use LinkedIn as a social impact communicator. Hopefully, this will give you some ideas of not only what you should do when you get on LinkedIn to amplify your mission, but why you should do it.
We discussed:
[01:39] Finding the right board members and volunteers
[04:43] Communicating with existing donors
[06:55] Being seen and seeing others
[10:01] Amplifying your executives as trusted thought leaders
[12:39] Building team camaraderie and culture
[14:31] Breaking down stigma
[16:35] Attracting opportunities and amplifying your events

Do you gravitate towards statistics over storytelling in your social impact communications?
You’re not alone – in a Stanford study, students were asked to prepare a 1 minute speech about crime. Students used an average of 3 statistics in their 1 minute speech, but only 1 in 10 students told a story.
Just 10 minutes later, only 5% of people remembered the data shared. However, 63% of attendees remembered the stories.
In this episode, we're going to explore the why, when, and where of using storytelling in your social impact communications to drive your mission forward.
We discuss:
[01:17] Why storytelling is important
[06:28] When to use storytelling as an advocacy tool
[11:03] The 3 stories to have and share as a changemaker
[14:16] Where to share your stories to drive your mission forward

Welcome to this special summer series of the Campfire Circle podcast where we’re bringing back mini-moments from past episodes that are just as relevant today – if not more so.
This episode is from a longer conversation with Dr. Devona Stalnaker-Shofner, a professor and mental health counselor. We are diving into how we can nurture future social change agents and ground ourselves in our “why.”
Finally, we talk about a new form of leadership that’s rooted in purpose and values instead of power and control.
This episode is over two years old, so there’s some mention of dated news stories. What Devona shares, however, is timeless.
