Welcome to No Cape Required—the space where we ditch the performative hustle, take off the masks, and start showing up as our true selves. In today’s episode, we’re spotlighting a group that often gets overlooked in leadership narratives: introverts.

Did you know that up to 50% of the population is introverted? And yet, our society still equates success with being the loudest voice in the room. Well, not anymore.

I’m joined by Stacey Chazin, who is rewriting the script on what leadership really looks like. Drawing on years of corporate and nonprofit experience, Stacey shares how introverted women can stop trying to “fix” themselves and instead leverage their natural strengths to lead powerfully and authentically.

We dive into:

  • The most damaging myths about introverts (and why they’re flat-out wrong)
  • How masking your true nature to appear more “extroverted” can sabotage your confidence and success
  • Why visibility doesn’t have to mean being the loudest—it means being intentional
  • Tangible ways introverted women can own their influence and create impact without burning out
  • The leadership superpowers introverts bring to the table—and how organizations are finally waking up to their value

If you've ever been told you're “too quiet” to lead or felt like you had to perform to be taken seriously, this episode is your reminder: your quieter power isn’t just valid—it’s vital.
