Welcome to the Introvert Ally Podcast! My name is Jennifer Kahnweiler. Most people size me up as an extrovert. I'm pretty enthusiastic, I talk out what's in my brain and the more people I connect with the better! But, I am also a strong champion for introverts who are often misunderstood and overlooked at work. When we let their quiet strengths surface we unleash more ideas, creativity and new perspectives. I believe that to change cultures we need to have conversations. In this podcast, You will hear me talk with a wide variety of intriguing guests who each have their unique take on introversion. These torchbearers shed light on their experiences and offer concrete tips on what we can do to unleash introvert talent.
