"You don't look like an introvert" was a statement made to the author whilst at a networking event, and she thought to herself, what on earth is an introvert supposed to look like... Many misconceptions exist about what introversion is, and this was just one of them. These misconceptions can lead to people having an unfavourable, unconscious bias towards those who identify as introverts when it comes to developing talent in the workplace. The challenges women face getting to senior leadership roles is well documented, and for the introverted woman who, dealing with those challenges, along with the challenges many face as introverts, can make the leadership journey even more difficult. However, just because someone is not loud and gregarious, it does not mean that they are not great, effective leaders. This book addresses many of the challenges that introverted women face as leaders and shows how these challenges can be overcome. Some of the challenges are due to the self limiting beliefs they hold about themselves, or they may be as a result of unfavourable bias and misconceptions about what introversion is, or they may be a combination of both. Quietly Visible is written from the perspective of the lived experience of the author (herself an introvert), her clients, her research, and the many, many introverted women across the globe who regularly share their experiences and challenges with her.

    Through the pages of this book, you get to feel as though you’re seated in a Masterclass being guided and affirmed by Carol, whose passion is to help introverted women achieve optimal potential and become great leaders.

    Now whilst this book speaks to Introverted Women, I recommend this book to those who engage with women who identify as being introverted, in order for us/you to get a better understanding of who we/they are and the value we/they add to our World.

    Overall there are some very insightful parts in this book and the topic is very interesting. However, i found the writing not so good in a way that it felt repetitive at times, and disorganised , as if the author was journalling instead of writing a book. So i found it annoying to follow and quite shallow (generic) in places .

    This is a pretty good book. It gives insight into what introversion actually is and discusses how the world is designed for extroverts and gives tips on how to work in this world that is designed for extroverts. It did not tell me anything I did not already know though. So the reason I gave it only 3 stars is because I'd like to read a book about introversion and the greatness of that, and not one that gives tips on how to fit in an extroverted world, designed by extroverts, for extroverts. A book that flipped that on its head and how introversion is a superpower is what extroverts need to do to tap into THAT would be a book I'd queue for hours to buy.

    Reading ‘Quietly Visible’ has helped me realise that introverts are not in some way deficient, we are just a different character type and it is fine to be this way. The book provides detailed case studies, self reflection exercises and lots of advice on how to remain true to yourself, working with, not against, your introverted nature, and still hold your own and progress in an environment where extroverts very often dominate. A really useful book.
