Ep25: Coaching for Introverts with Lisa Chartrand

Think that you're too introverted to become a coach? Lisa Chartrand would disagree. Coaching for introverts isn’t about “fixing” introversion—it’s about honoring it as a powerful way of being.In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, Kate Swoboda interviews Certified Life Coach Collective graduate and leadership team member Lisa Chartrand of She Lives Red. Together, they explore how introverts can thrive as coaches and clients, embracing their natural wiring instead of feeling like they need to be louder, bolder, or more extroverted to succeed.Lisa shares her personal journey of shedding societal expectations—like being told to “come out of her shell”—and how life coaching helped her reconnect with her true self. From growing up with messaging that introversion was a weakness, to creating a brand that celebrates quiet strength, Lisa walks us through how claiming her identity as an introvert became a catalyst for transformation.You’ll hear insights on common misconceptions about introverts, how coaching can support highly sensitive people, and why introverted coaches are uniquely positioned to offer deep, thoughtful presence.Whether you're an introverted coach, coach-curious, or want to better support introverted clients, Coaching for introverts is a must-listen—and a reminder that power doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it listens deeply and lives vividly.Coaching + Courage + Community = CLCC. We're a life-changing program, for you to become a life-changing coach.
