What if the quietest voice in the room held the most valuable insight?   In our next episode of the UNFILTERED Series, Daphna and I explore what it really means to be an introvert in an extroverted workplace. We uncover how introversion is defined by energy, not shyness, and why so many workplaces miss out on the best thinking when only the fastest talkers are heard.   Together we highlight practical ways to design meetings and team environments that invite thoughtful contributions, protect energy, and celebrate differences. Daphna shows how introverts can lean into natural strengths like observation, focus, and 1:1 influence, while extroverted leaders can take responsibility for guiding the process, so every voice is valued.   The result is a powerful reminder that leadership is not about volume, yet about creating space for authentic impact.  Listen in to: Redefine Introversion Design Better Meetings Discover ways to make space for processing  Lead inclusively as an Extrovert Play the introversion/extroversion continuum    Connect with Your Co-Hosts  Daphna Horowitz  www.daphnahorowitz.com   https://www.linkedin.com/in/daphnahorowitz/   https://www.facebook.com/PEACSolutions   https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/leadership-live/id1524072573     Amy L.
