If you’re introverted in your procurement career, you might feel the pressure to be more visible, speak up more or show more confidence in meetings or whilst networking.
And that doesn’t always feel natural.
In this episode of Procurement Pivots, we explore what it really means to be introverted in procurement and how you can still have impact, visibility and influence without changing who you are.
We discuss:
- What introversion actually means and why it is often misunderstood
- Why many procurement professionals identify with introverted preferences
- The pressure to “speak up more” and how that shows up in procurement environments
- How to prepare for meetings in a way that plays to your strengths
- Practical ways to contribute in meetings without needing all the answers
- How asking questions and making observations can increase your influence
- How to be visible and credible without being the loudest voice
This episode builds on many of the themes we’ve explored around visibility, positioning and influence in procurement careers.
Because some of the most effective procurement professionals we see are introverted.
Not despite it, but because of it.
