215: How to Thrive as an Introverted Lawyer (Without Forcing Yourself to Be an Extrovert)
Have you ever felt pressured to be louder, more outgoing, or more visibly confident in order to succeed as a lawyer? The legal profession often seems to reward extroverted behaviors, leaving introverts wondering if they need to change who they are to advance their careers. But there is another way—one that allows you to thrive while staying true to your natural strengths. In this episode, I share insights from my own journey as an introverted lawyer and coach. You’ll learn why striving to become a halfway-there extrovert is far less effective than becoming an accomplished introvert. We’ll explore common misconceptions about introversion, the real differences between introverts and extroverts, and how to embrace your quiet, calm presence as a powerful leadership asset.
