Episode 113: How to Speak and Stand Out as an Introvert with Laurie-Ann Murabito

One of the many misconceptions about being an introvert is that we’re all quiet and shy, but if you’ve listened to this podcast for a while you’ll KNOW that’s not the case. This week’s guest is proof that even if you do consider yourself as shy, that doesn’t need to be your identity forever!

Laurie-Ann Murabito describes herself as a reformed painfully shy girl who accidentally became a professional speaker. One of the things I loved about our conversation is how Laurie-Ann uses stories to connect with her audience, and that’s something we can all implement straight away.

In this episode we talk about:

• How speaking (like anything in business) is a muscle you need to exercise
• Why being a sensitive introvert means you already have the soft skills needed to speak, either 1:1 or to a larger group
• Why being more confident as a speaker means you can talk about your business in a more engaging way
• Why speaking is the key to building relationships, whether that’s on social media, in a small group or on a stage
• How having a simple process for speaking helps you build confidence, remove emotion and improve each and every time
