Hi, I’m your host Sarah Mikutel, a communication coach who helps introverts speak with more confidence and presence. My goal is to get you more comfortable sharing your ideas and saying yes to opportunities.
The Influential Introvert podcast is for you if you’ve ever…
ghosted or not responded to a great PR opportunity someone offered you.
felt like you can’t get a word in when a big group is talking.
lost sleep thinking about a presentation you had to give.
had your heart beat out of your chest in conversations where you feel others have more experience and authority.
Why you need to listen to this show
You may have noticed – and research backs this up – that extroverts who love to talk and share their ideas are perceived as knowing what they’re doing, even if they have no clue.
On the other hand, introverts who don’t seem as confident are viewed as less competent, even if they excel at what they do.
I will not stand for this! 😊
If you’re an introvert, you can have as much influence as the loudest extrovert in the room – and it’s possible for you to share your ideas without wanting to hide under a blanket afterward.
This is what I coach people on.
I’m tired of introverts missing out on opportunities to grow their business and to connect with new people because anxiety gets the best of them.
And trust me, performance anxiety is something I’m very familiar with. But it doesn’t have to rule your life.
What inspired this podcast for introverts
In the past, I hosted a show called Podcasting Step by Step because I love the audio form and learning from others. I wanted to help people share their stories via podcast, and I did.
Listeners wrote to tell me how much my show and my podcasting courses have helped them get their creative projects off the ground.
I especially loved hearing from introverts who said my work has helped them manage their fears and move forward. People went from feeling paralyzed by what people would think of them to hosting a show where people cannot get enough of them.
There are so many talented, creative people we never hear from because they’re afraid to be fully seen.
This fear of speaking up and showing up isn’t just about podcasting – it shows up in our work lives, as well.
Even when you look calm on the outside, inside there’s an anxious swirl that’s exhausting you.
Life doesn’t have to be this way.
I want you to imagine how unstoppable you’d be if you felt as calm as you looked. If you shared more of your ideas and what you have to offer. Less anxiety, more influence, happier days at work and at home. That’s what this podcast is all about.
In short episodes, you’ll learn the essential verbal and non-verbal skills necessary to elevate your presence and charisma and capture people’s attention.
Equally important, you’ll learn to manage your mind and body so you feel less anxious and more confident speaking up and being decisive.
