Quiet Achiever
09 August 2024

Public speaking guides; Writing & editing guides; Personnel & human resources management; Advice on careers & achieving success

Get the promotion. Get your dream job. Get the appreciation and recognition you deserve - without pretending to be an extrovert.

Do you squirm in your seat when asked to introduce yourself? In meetings, do you keep quiet even though you have something to say? Does your boss often tell you to ""speak up more,"" but you're not sure how?

If you answered yes, you might be a quiet achiever.

In a working world that favours the extrovert ideal, most role models and advice seem to be some flavour of ""be more extroverted"".

There has to be a better way.

This book offers quiet achievers a different path to success, one where you can remain your true authentic self and still have impact at work (without pretending to be an extrovert).

In this book, you'll discover how to:

introduce yourself with confidence in meetings, interviews and networking increase your visibility and be more seen and heard in your organisation public speaking practises to communicate with purpose and clarity handle difficult conversations and what to do when you receive feedback you don't like speak up in meetings before you are ready and tactics to buy yourself time when put on the spot how to say no (politely) - set boundaries and push back on unreasonable requests make small talk without the awkward silences networking online and in real life

Whether you are a senior leader or someone starting out, you'll find practical techniques you can implement the very next day.

Just because we are quiet does not mean we have nothing to say. Life is too short to be living someone else's version of success. Stop pretending. Start practicing. Your journey to making a big impact at work while staying true to yourself starts here.
