Turning Introverted Females Into Senior Leaders

I work with female introverts in tech to help them be seen so that they can advance to senior leadership. 

Who Am I?

Hi, I’m Lesley and I support introverted women in the tech industry to thrive and excel in their careers. 

With over 33 years of experience in corporate settings and as a respected senior leader, I intimately understand the unique challenges faced by introverted women in the workplace.

As an introvert myself, I have personally encountered the frustrations that arise we’re overshadowed by our more outgoing and extroverted colleagues. I know all too well the feeling of having my strengths overlooked or being judged, simply because of my quiet demeanour may not align with traditional notions of leadership. The corporate world often favours those who speak up the loudest, leaving introverted women struggling to have their voices heard and their contributions recognised.

Driven by my passion for empowering introverted women, I made the courageous decision to step away from the corporate world and establish my own business. 

My mission is clear: to help introverted women embrace their unique talents and strengths, allowing them to thrive in leadership roles within the tech industry.

I firmly believe that authenticity is the key to unlocking success in any career. So I encourage introverted women to embrace their quieter voices and natural thoughtfulness, and leverage these traits as powerful tools for leading teams and driving innovation in the tech sector. 

If you are an introverted woman in the tech industry who dreams of ascending to new heights in your career, I’m here to guide you on your journey. 

Together, we can unlock the power of introversion and rewrite the narrative, proving that success knows no bounds when authenticity and quiet strength are embraced.

Now is your chance to offload. Take it because after this the only way is up. I know you don’t feel seen or heard. I know you want more for yourself at work and I know how frustrating and exhausting it is when you’re not being recognised for the value you bring.

Module Three

Authenticity

Description

Leadership requires authenticity. You need to be really clear about who you are and what you stand for. No more flip flopping around trying on different personalities. At the very core of our behaviour and our decisions is our values. When we know our values we know our true north, and we are more self assured and confident. Knowing our values creates coherence between our decisions and our actions. It guides us along the path of success and it makes it a whole lot easier to take others with you.
