#44: How Introverts Become More Impactful Speakers with TEDx Curator Maryam Pasha

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Introverts, this conversation will transform your speaking and storytelling game.I’m joined by Maryam Pasha, a master storyteller and TEDx London Curator, who helps others tell better stories and tell stories better. Together, we dive deep into the art of storytelling and public speaking. Let’s be real—much of this is me “asking for a friend,” but I know many of you share the same anxiety about speaking on stage, giving presentations, or being in the spotlight.This conversation is crucial because more introverts need to share their stories and bring their rich inner worlds to light. Maryam takes us behind the scenes of a TEDx talk, revealing how much preparation goes into a great presentation and sharing a few tricks that make even the most nervous speakers appear natural—because often, they aren’t. We also discuss storytelling in the workplace, with Maryam offering a practical checklist for introverts to become more impactful speakers—without needing to be louder or change who they are.Maryam Pasha (Guest):Website: https://maryampasha.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryampasha/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maryampasha/Hannah Šoša (Host):Awfully Quiet Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/awfullyquietpodcast/ Subtle Careers: https://www.instagram.com/subtlecareers/
