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?
Some of the words that have been used to describe me are aloof and frosty. I’ve been accused of being disengaged and lazy. I’ve been misunderstood as being uncaring, having a swinging brick instead of a heart. And the one that really hurts, I’ve been called weird.
I’m none of the latter but what I do know about myself is that I am an introvert. In fact according to Myers Briggs Personality Types I am 86% introverted. And being an introvert isn’t easy when you’re in the minority. It’s especially tricky being an introvert when you have ambitions for yourself in life and particularly at work, where the corporate culture is largely geared up for extroverts.
But it’s not impossible and I am the proof of that. I had a very successful sales career that spanned 33 years, and 20 of those were working for a tech company.
Was it easy? No. Did I struggle? Absolutely. Did I figure it out? Eventually I did. But in the process I had a lot of sleepless nights and I did a lot of navel gazing. And naturally as an introvert I did a lot of thinking. Thinking over and over again. Analysing my thoughts, trying to figure out just where I fitted in and how I could leverage my skills and unique personality traits to work for me rather than against me.
I figured it out and now I help other women embrace their introversion, identify their strengths and figure out their route into senior leadership.
