from Keep The Change · host Bart Nollenberger

What if being introverted wasn’t a weakness to “fix,” but a strength to lead with?In this episode, my guest is Antoinette Griffin, a leadership coach, trainer, and faculty member with Maxwell Leadership who specializes in communication and human behavior. You’ve probably seen her on some of the biggest Maxwell stages, but what makes her story powerful is that she started out terrified of public speaking. Today, she’s teaching leaders around the world how to thrive by leaning into who they really are.We dive into:The surprising strengths introverts bring to leadership and communicationWhy extroverts (like me!) often misunderstand introverts, and how to bridge that gapThe difference between “speaking to think” and “thinking to speak” (this one hit me hard)Why communication, not just strategy is the make-or-break factor in families, businesses, and teamsHow Antoinette overcame shyness and stage fright to become a sought-after speaker and coachIf you’ve ever wondered how to bridge the gap between introverts and extroverts or if you want to become a better communicator no matter your style, this conversation will give you tools you can put to work right away.Enjoying the show?
