The Real Way to Stand Out — No Shouting Required
If self-promotion makes you cringe, you're not alone
In this episode, Emmy-winning journalist turned communications coach Jessica Chen shares a new, smarter way to stand out at work — especially if being loud, flashy, or self-congratulatory just isn't your style. Drawing from her book Smart, Not Loud, Jessica explains how to build executive presence, advocate for yourself, and get noticed for all the right reasons — without betraying who you are.
She and Kwame explore why common workplace advice doesn’t work for everyone, how cultural values shape confidence, and what it really means to be assertive on your own terms. Whether you're naturally reserved or just tired of being told to "speak up more," this conversation offers a refreshing, actionable path to visibility, respect, and career growth.
