Managing Your Profile

Challenges

• achieving sufficient visibility can be challenging - the ‘spotlight’ is often an uncomfortable place for introverted leaders and being in it can drain energy
  
  
• when introverted leaders try to raise their profile, it can be hard to get their voice heard
  
  
• at times it can seem that those who are best at self-promotion achieve career progression more easily
  
  
• many introverted leaders attempt to improve their profile by “acting extrovert”. Some do this successfully for many years, but this is ultimately extremely draining - and over time becomes unsustainable.
