Published: June 12, 2023, 5:01 a.m.

\u201cLeadership isn\u2019t for me.\xa0 I\u2019m naturally introverted, quiet, and shy - no one would ever listen to me.\u201d\nAlthough this isn\u2019t a direct quote, it\u2019s a common excuse we hear from coaches, leaders, and business owners alike as to why they can\u2019t (or won\u2019t) lead or have the impact they want on those around them.\xa0 And to put it bluntly, this topic doesn\u2019t get the amount of discussion it deserves.\nThat\u2019s why in today\u2019s episode Victor Hall, VP of Operations at EXOS, provides insight on his own experience pursuing impactful leadership as an introvert.\xa0 Together, we explore how to influence others, navigate different conversational styles and break through the barriers of shyness.\xa0\nVictor Hall has spent over 20 years training athletes, leading performance teams, and educating fellow coaches and trainers. During that time, he has worked within collegiate, private facilities, and military environments. Victor joined EXOS in 2010 as a Performance Manager of a Human Performance Program for the Department of Defense, and currently serves as the Vice President of Operations at EXOS.\nWe cover a few key components that make up this pursuit of effective leadership, including:\nThe secrets of making an impact as an introvert (10:45)\nHow self awareness contributes to leadership and creating a lasting impact (13:40 & 46:20)\nWhere his natural tendencies haven\u2019t served him in the past (15:55)\nWhat he does to embrace authenticity instead of trying to \u201cfix\u201d himself (1:09:25)\nRelated Resources:\xa0\nE202: Why Facts & Logic Don\u2019t Change Our Minds\nE227: Stu McMillan: No B.S.
