Extroverts to the front of the queue
from Kind of Blunt · host Adam Williams
Loudness is often mistaken for confidence. Volume for value. Presence for contribution.In this episode, I talk about why extroversion is so often rewarded, especially at work, and how quiet people are frequently misread as disengaged, unconfident, or absent.This is a reflection on meetings, airtime, performative enthusiasm, and the way honesty and integrity can feel uncomfortable in a world used to over performed positivity.It’s not about extroverts versus introverts. It’s about what we reward, what we overlook, and how being direct, thoughtful, or quietly confident can be misunderstood.Sometimes the meeting was fine. And that should be enough.
