Ep 134 - Thriving as an introvert in the workplace with Emma Taggart

Up to 50% of people have introverted tendencies yet meetings are still designed in a way that doesn’t allow them to contribute effectively.  In this episode I’m talking to Emma Taggart, a leadership and career coach for introverted leaders about what introverts bring to the workplace and leadership, how to have confidence as an introvert and how we can run meetings in a more inclusive and effective way. It's a super practical conversation that I highly recommend, whether you recognise your own introverted tendencies or you want to run a team that brings the best out in everyone, regardless of their thinking style. About Emma Taggart: Emma Taggart is a leadership and career coach for introverted leaders.
