The Awfully Quiet Podcast ·

2026/02/03

In this episode, I walk through four concrete moves that help make your thinking visible at work, especially if you tend to be on the quieter side.Not by speaking more, pushing yourself to perform confidence, or explaining yourself all the time.But by making your judgement, direction, and intent easier for other people to follow.We look at:– why quiet thinking so often stays invisible by default– what people actually look for when they’re trying to gauge competence– how to anchor your thinking to

Quiet Thinking at Work: When It’s Seen as Smart and...

The Awfully Quiet Podcast ·

2026/01/27

Quiet doesn’t get overlooked because it’s weak.It gets overlooked when other people don’t know what to make of it.In this episode, we move past why quiet gets misread at work and into the more useful question: when does quiet thinking actually start working?You’ll hear why two people can think quietly in the same room, and yet only one is read as smart, trusted, and pulled into bigger conversations.This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt:– capable, but underestimated– trusted to deliver, but not

Why Loud Behavior Wins Over Quiet at Work

The Awfully Quiet Podcast ·

2026/01/13

Quiet people are often told the same things: Speak up more. Be more confident. Put yourself out there.But what if none of that is actually the real problem?In this episode, we look at something far more uncomfortable + far more powerful: the fact that quiet behavior creates cognitive and evolutionary discomfort in other people.Not because you’re doing anything wrong. But because the human brain is wired to distrust what it can’t read.This episode isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding

Too Quiet for Your Own Good?

The Awfully Quiet Podcast ·

2026/01/06

I’ve been questioning something I always thought was non-negotiable: consistency.This week, I reflect on the pressure of releasing an episode every single week, the tension between quality and output, and the fear of stopping when consistency feels like the only thing holding momentum together. It’s a conversation about podcast growth, but also about careers, ambition, and visibility.I draw a parallel to my early corporate career, where I learned that doing excellent work wasn’t enough if no one

Becoming Senior Without Becoming Loud

The Awfully Quiet Podcast ·

2025/12/30

In this episode, I reflect on my first year as a Senior Brand Manager and the quiet unlearning that came with it. From letting go of performative “senior behaviour,” to learning when not to speak, this is an honest look at what leadership starts to require as your scope grows.We talk about finding your senior voice, steering instead of telling, facilitating decisions rather than forcing them, and why quiet, observational people often come into their power later, but more sustainably.If you’re

The Awfully Quiet Podcast ·

2025/12/16

There’s a moment when you realise the opportunity you wanted all year… might not have known where to sit if it arrived.

Tiny Conversations That Decide How People See You

The Awfully Quiet Podcast ·

2025/12/09

We often assume our reputation at work is shaped by the big moments. The presentations. The milestones. The “official” opportunities.But most people form their opinion of us in the tiny, forgettable interactions — the “how was your weekend,” the quick update in the hallway, the accidental coffee machine moment with someone senior.Because these conversations feel insignificant, we wing them or downplay them.But this is where presence is actually built.These micro-moments become small stages, not for
