“Mindfulness is a state. It’s an active process that we intentionally place ourselves in so that we can be conscious and aware of all that we do.”
— Julie Greenham
Mindfulness can do more than just help you relax, cultivate calm, or feel more centered.
It can also be used to completely transform your business as an introverted entrepreneur!
Mindfulness is learning how to slow down our thoughts, reconnect with our inner selves, and be fully present in the moment — rather than just working on autopilot.
Mindfulness is so much more than just meditation, although meditation is a beautiful mindfulness practice in its own right. There are many small, quiet practices that you can implement throughout your day to infuse it with intention and mindfulness.
What are the benefits of adopting regular mindfulness practices?
When we’re practicing mindfulness, we lower the volume on a lot of our negative emotions, such as anger, judgment, envy, and toxic pride.
Instead, we develop the ability to approach situations with more patience, emotional generosity, and kindness.
Mindfulness and becoming better able to exist in the moment provides a big boost to our decision-making skills, because it cuts down on our worry and anxiety about the future.
This makes us better able to deal with all kinds of external situations that can affect our businesses — and make the kind of calm, clear-headed choices that keep us on track for success and growth!
Ready to start enjoying the benefits of a more mindful lifestyle? Let’s get started!

“For me, with leadership, one of the big things is accountability… not just being someone that’s directing people, but being accountable.”
— Terrance Lee
Terrance Lee, AKA The Introvert Leader, had always avoided taking on leadership roles — until he had to learn the skills by necessity.
Terrance’s shift to leadership happened after college, while he was being mentored on the F16 program at Lockheed Martin.
When he had been there for just a few months, his mentor put in his two-week notice. Terrance was told that he was going to fill his mentor’s shoes at a big presentation — and speak to a group of experienced engineers and pilots.
Terrance nailed it.... and it gave him a giant confidence boost.
Since then, Terrance has taken on many leadership and management roles as an introvert, with incredible results.
Terrance believes that there are 3 key traits that make a good leader.
You must have the ability to own up to your missteps and model that type of behaviour for your team. “There are times where, as a leader, you make a mistake. You may not always get it right,” Terrance says. Being accountable to your team builds trust and raises morale.
Terrance’s Instagram is full of amazing advice for rising to your leadership potential, and he’s not shy about sharing his best tips on this episode!

“When we’re talking about developing a blue-chip mindset for our business, we’re talking about prioritizing those tasks and activities that are money-generating.”
— Julie Greenham
As introverted entrepreneurs, we often deal with unique obstacles.
In this episode, I share five skills that can help introverted entrepreneurs grow their businesses and achieve their highest potential.
While we have an abundance of soft skills such as high emotional intelligence, incredible active listening skills, a capacity for self-reflection, and the ability to be highly self-motivated, we do face some common challenges.
Five specific challenges in particular have come up in many of my conversations with both my clients and members of the Mindful Entrepreneur Membership.
One example? Prioritizing.
Let me tell you: there’s a major difference between being busy and being productive.
Often, we fill our days with tasks that don’t contribute to our bottom line.
Learning how to prioritize in a way that best benefits your business is key.
Say yes to working on your new products or building up your sales page. Say no to spending your entire day replying to emails that don’t generate money for you!
Say yes to recharge time, me time, and self-care time as a way to replenish your energy for your business. Say no to spending your energy on things that don’t nourish your soul or your business, like providing free consulting to acquaintances.
Want to learn how to overcome the rest of the common challenges introverted entrepreneurs face? Let’s get started!

“The way that I would move about my day was more about listening and trusting, and then recognizing that life became more rewarding when I did that.”
— Nadine Moffatt
What are the benefits of living at a slower pace and working in flow?
Working in flow gives you a deeper sense of satisfaction and can boost your productivity — rather than just ticking off the tasks, you’re working in alignment with your purpose.
On the other hand, working outside of flow saps your energy, and can leave you feeling rundown, stressed out... or even sick.
My guest, Nadine Moffatt, is an intuitive energy healer who helps high-functioning women who are anxious and sleep-deprived restore their connection to themselves, their energy, and inner peace.
She believes that working in flow is an especially useful practice for introverted entrepreneurs!
Connecting with our inner guiding voice and honouring it helps us work through lengthy To Do lists naturally, and guides us through the processes and decisions that help us grow our businesses.
As you learn to become quiet and connected, you’ll be better able to listen to your inner guiding voice — and trust your intuition.
“Have your structure, but then trust that you will move through that structure in a way that it’s meant to flow or roll out,” Nadine advises. “You can’t have flow without being connected.”

When you think of the acting world, you don't necessarily think that an introvert would blend naturally in that environment.
But that’s not necessarily true. It’s indeed possible and comes with certain challenges —as my guest Courtney Ferguson explains in this episode.
Courtney’s childhood dream was to act. She performed in church and high school plays, studied drama at a prestigious university, and got acting gigs immediately upon graduation. But after landing some leading roles, the curtain fell on her promising career.
What happened? Courtney was living her aspiration yet was drained and distracted. She didn’t understand why and she exited stage left.
This is where the plot thickens. With time away from the stage, Courtney finally gets some answers. How does it play out? Grab a front row seat … you’re about to find out.
BIO
Courtney is an actress based out of Atlanta and New York City. She is also a graduate of Howard University with a BFA in Acting.
As an introvert in an extroverted business, it has been a struggle for her to navigate the ins and outs of the industry. Additionally, she has dealt with shyness, anxiety and stage fright!
Discovering and embracing her introversion unlocked the key she needed to truly go after her dreams and overcome the barriers that were holding her back.
She created the instagram account @introvert_actress to share her journey

“We’re actually taught to disconnect from our intuition. We’re taught to not trust it and not listen to it. So reconnecting to it is a process — it doesn’t happen overnight.”
— Vicky Cook
Vicky Cook has never seen herself as a traditional business coach.
In fact, she doesn’t focus on strategy, sales, or content.
Instead, Vicky helps her clients reconnect with their intuition.
“Mindset and intuition and energy, those are the areas that really fire me up and I think those are the areas that are undervalued when we talk about starting a business and running a business,” Vicky explains.
As new entrepreneurs, we tend to focus on things like learning how to create content or how to build a sales funnel. But Vicky believes that there is deep work we can do within ourselves that will ease our journey into entrepreneurship — and make everything else easier!
“Intuition can be a little bit of a loaded word sometimes. I think it can come with stories, people may see it as a little bit woo-woo,” Vicky explains. “Just that term ‘intuition’ might prevent some people from seeing that they have one… and they might miss the opportunity to use that.”
Vicky likens intuition to an inner guidance system, like a personal GPS. When we use GoogleMaps or GPS, we trust that it will get us to where we need to go, even when it needs to recalibrate due to traffic or wrong turns.
We just need to learn to trust our inner guidance system the same way!

“When you lead with kindness, people feel that energy.” — Amy Keon
“You don’t have to be the loudest person to inspire others to be kind,” says Amy Keon, pediatric registered nurse, empath, and my special guest for this episode. Her Facebook community, Share Kindness Loudly, is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating everyday acts of kindness by everyday people.
Amy believes that you don’t need to change yourself or take on extroverted traits in order to inspire people — you can do it in your own quiet, authentic, introverted way!
Leading with kindness uplifts and fuels those around us. As Amy explains, to lead with kindness is to spread joy, share awareness, learn from each other, not be judgmental, and be generous with our time. Workplaces are transformed when led by leaders who model generosity and empathy. By leading with kindness, we build morale and loyalty in our teams, inspire them to work at their best, and create a culture of empathy.
But when leading with kindness, it’s also important to extend that kindness to yourself. Self care is not selfish at all — you can’t take care of others properly unless you take care of yourself! By protecting your energy and space, and taking the time to replenish yourself, you’ll be able to maximize your positive impact without wearing yourself down!
Want to learn more of Amy’s amazing tips for spreading kindness? Let’s get started!

Can you show up as an introvert — and still get the recognition you need?
My guest Keni Dominguez has always been interested in inclusivity, justice, and equity in the workplace, but her approach is a bit unique: she emphasizes the importance of being inclusive of all cognitive types, as 40% of most workplaces are made up of introverts!
As an introvert herself, Keni is interested in helping other introverts develop the skills that they need to thrive in a world of extroverts.
Many introverts have thrived during the pandemic, with its focus on remote working and asynchronous communication. Many of us have also developed better work boundaries during this time.
Having strong and intentional boundaries is a skill that will serve you well both during the pandemic and once we’ve returned to regular life.
In order to create effective boundaries that work best for you, Keni recommends that you think about where and how you spend the most time, what your energy levels tend to be throughout the day, and what you value most.
Cultivating your personal power as an introvert is also hugely important.
“I believe it’s a starting point to greatness,” Keni says. “When I’m talking about personal power, I’m thinking about it from the perspective of what it means to be empowered in your life, to really just be the leader in your life.”
Extroverts take up a huge amount of oxygen in the room, and we need to be able to authentically speak up and assert ourselves as introverts — we don’t have to show up as extroverts to get what we need!
In this episode, you’ll discover:

“When people feel like you get them, that’s honestly the golden nugget to rapport, to relationship, to building that trust.”
— Jennifer Maxwell
Can a personality quiz make you a better salesperson?
The DISC behavioral model divides personality traits into four quadrants: dominance, influence, steadiness, and compliance.
Knowing your score can help you become a better salesperson!
My guest Jennifer Maxwell is a certified DISC trainer and speaker. When she started on her entrepreneurial journey, she had no formal sales training and couldn’t figure out why she had so much trouble closing. Her closing rate soared to an astonishing 90% once she applied DISC research to her sales technique!
Now, she offers courses in applying these same knowledge to her clients’ business and helping them build better rapport with their prospects.
“There are things that kind of go along with those personality traits,” Jennifer explains. “So when you can understand that, you can appeal to those natural occurring motivations and the things that matter to them the most.”
D and I personality types are more outgoing, introverts tend to fall into the more reserved S and C types, and each type has their own challenges when it comes to setting and communicating the value of their offerings.
Not only can you learn how to sell more effectively based on your type, you can also learn how to modify your technique to resonate with types of the opposite temperament.
Jennifer is sharing her best tips and tactics in this episode. If selling is part of your business, you’ll want to dive right in. Let’s get started!

As an introvert, why should you invest in professional photography for your business?
Brand photography helps you differentiate yourself in the marketplace, showcase your unique vibe and essence, and tell your story — without having to say a word!
If you don’t like to speak a lot, you can communicate a lot of things through eye-catching, informative, and attractive visuals, particularly when they’re paired with clean, brand-aligned copy.
That makes it a great tool for introverts!
My guest for this episode is Nathalie Amlani, brand photographer and owner of Pictonat Branding Creative.
Brand photographers take pictures that help to market or sell a product or service, and Nathalie has the unique talent of being able to capture the essence of who people are — and her images can make a big impact for their business!
Images can tell an emotional story — you can convey calm, joy, excitement, and more with a photograph, so it’s a great way to have your audience get a taste of what it is like to work with you and deepen your connection.
“When you present yourself in a professional way with images that really articulate who you are, then it’s just consistent with the experience that they’ll receive when they work with you.” Nathalie explains. “That leads to more word-of-mouth referrals.”
A picture really IS worth a thousand words!
In this episode of the Quiet Powerhouse podcast, you’ll discover:
“If you’re top of mind and constantly showing who you are, how it is to work with you, and what you can do for them, then when they actually need it, they’re like — oh, I remember that business or person or product!”
— Nathalie Amlani
