Hundreds of quiet achievers are practicing these tiny habits. Read their reviews
With nearly twenty years of experience working as designer and a leader in tech, I worked in companies dominated by big personalities with strong opinions and loud voices.
In a world that favours the extrovert ideal, I tried to fit into an extroverted mold to succeed. It worked for a while but I was tired of pretending to be someone I was not.
I wondered, "What is wrong with me? How do others make it look so easy? Maybe I am just not good enough." I was determined to find a better way.
The Quiet Achiever is a collection of the tiny habits I developed that helped me have impact and influence at work, while remaining my true authentic self.
Since 2020, I have coached hundreds of quiet achievers to remarkable success.
Now, I share these tiny habits with you in my new book.
Tiny habits that you put into practice and start having impact at work the very next day. We cover topics like:
What makes a good introduction, different types of intros you need and how to structure them for meetings, workshops, interviews and networking.
A framework for developing small talk topics that feel natural to you, how to build a connection with others and how to avoid awkward silences.
How to speak up before you are ready, be more visible in your organisation and make space in your day for focus-work.
Types of public speaking scripts and how to prepare and practice so you communicate with purpose and clarity.
Understand why these conversations are especially hard for quiet achievers, how to give feedback and what to do when you receive feedback you do not like.
Saying Yes when you think No is not sustainable. Try practical tips on how to push back.
Understand the true purpose of networking and try practical techniques to network online and in real life.
Work is a team sport. Learn how extroverts and ambiverts can work better together with you.
Tim sprinkles relatable real-life examples throughout the book. The techniques and frameworks are easy to understand and gave me the confidence and clarity to tackle these situations head-on. If you work in an industry that overlooks your introvert strengths, this book provides down-to-earth insights to excel.
A practical and kind guide to not merely survive work socialization, but get great at it!
I went through so many interviews. I had a lot of anxiety back then. I felt like I was too humble when talking about my accomplishments. Tim really helped me with practical advice - which is not easy to find the more senior you get.
Tim is fantastic coach. He is thoughtful, engaging and passionate about helping introverts build their confidence as design leaders. The course has helped me to do deal with the common issues I face as a designer and to build a toolkit with actionable insights in how to overcome them. Thanks to Tim I am able to thrive as both an introvert and a design leader.
The methods and constructive feedback provided by Tim have been invaluable. Many of the techniques are directly effecting my day-to-day way of working, like my conduct in meetings and confidence approaching new situations.
In just the first week, I was able to put my learnings from this course into practice. Genuinely practical advice.
The Leadership for Introverts course provided me with easy-to-apply tools to boost my confidence and increase my visibility in my org. The bite-sized video format fit perfectly into my hectic schedule.
This course came at the perfect time when I needed support with interviews. Tim was empathetic, pragmatic, and calm - and gave me advice and examples that I could quickly apply under pressure. He gave me the space to ask questions specific to my circumstances. I highly recommend.
Tim's course gave me confidence to present myself and my work to others. The exercises he designed are really helpful tools that I'll continue using to prepare for challenging situations in and outside of work.
The course’s impact has been nothing short of transformative, especially for an executive like myself. Tim's expertise and clear communication style made the learning experience concise yet comprehensive, focusing on practical skills and a mindset shift tailored for introverts. One standout aspect was the innovative approach to the "tell me about yourself" question. Tim's visual strategy was a breath of fresh air. As an executive, this approach not only enhanced my interview performance but re-framed how I thought about and communicate my career journey.
I extended my intro based on the course and I could see by the reactions of the interview panel how effectively it communicated my experience and capabilities and set the stage for the rest of the conversation. This was the single most valuable feedback on presenting work. It's challenged me to assess other areas in the workplace where I may be minimizing important context.
Watching Tim's videos is like listening to a supportive, knowledgeable, empathetic friend. Tim gave me incredible advice and methods I could use in real-life scenarios. I highly recommend.
Tim gave me a lot of space to unpack what I struggle with as an introvert, and then tackled each part with an actionable tip. I think the actionable nature of the conversation was what really helped. The professional "advice" I've gotten about introversion in the past has always been too abstract or philosophical to be truly helpful.
I love how much your work is about allowing introverts to unlock their full super power rather than feeling like this is something they need to adjust/ work around. The tools you're suggesting does exactly that-- allows introverts to own, celebrate, and understand who they are.
