Awfully Quiet

Business EN ↓ 132 episodes

Quiet has a branding problem. At work, it gets mistaken for lack of ambition. Or confidence. Or presence. So you’re told to adjust. To be louder. Faster. More obvious. But what if quiet isn’t the problem… just the positioning? This show is a rebrand. A more strategic, more intentional way of being seen, without becoming someone you’re not. Less performance. More presence.
