SELLEST OSAST
Ever been the smartest person in the room — and still watched the promotion go to the person who talked better?
Most introverted leaders have been told the same thing their whole careers: speak up more, be louder, project confidence. It's the most common — and least useful — advice you'll ever hear. Because the real ceiling isn't your volume. It's the lack of a repeatable system for making your judgment and expertise visible in the rooms where decisions get made.
Sebastien Page, author of The Psychology of Leadership and a longtime senior executive in the financial industry, built his career by pairing deep analytical work with clear, confident communication — and rising to the top as an introvert. In this conversation, he shares the specific tools he uses to run meetings, resolve disagreements, and lead with quiet authority.
In this episode you'll discover:
- Apply the one-over-N rule and the pivot method to reclaim your fair share of meeting airtime — and stop getting steamrolled by louder voices
- Use strategic patience as a leadership edge — including the one question Sebastien asks before every major decision to preserve optionality
- Pair deep expertise with clear communication (the one-two punch) so your work stops being invisible and starts driving promotions
If you're an introverted professional who's tired of watching louder colleagues get credit for weaker ideas, hit play now — this episode gives you the exact scripts and frameworks to change that.
