Today we’d like to introduce you to Terrance Lee.
Hi Terrance, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As someone that has an introverted personality, I had always avoided taking on leadership roles in my life. At the age of 13, an experience occurred which caused me to seriously doubt my ability to speak in front of people, and caused me to shy away from the spotlight. This worked for me until I eventually had to learn leadership skills by necessity at my first engineering job out of college.
When I had been working in my first role for a short time, my mentor put in his two-week notice. I then found out that I had to take his place presenting to a group of experienced engineers and pilots for a highly technical review. Despite feeling extremely nervous, the meeting that I led went well; which gave me a giant confidence boost and became a turning point for my career.
Since then, I have taken on a number leadership and management roles as an introvert at several Fortune 500 companies in the defense industry, with proven results. I utilize my platform, The Introvert Leader, to empower introverts to tap into their own inner potential, and I’m never shy about sharing the tips that I’ve learned throughout my journey.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has definitely not been a smooth road! For a long time, I doubted myself, I thought I had to become someone that I wasn’t in order to be successful… I mainly thought that I had to become an extrovert. However, throughout the process of writing my debut book ‘Quiet Voice Fearless Leader’, I began to truly embrace who I am and began to understand my strengths. So, my biggest challenge was overcoming my own self-limiting beliefs.
As you know, we’re big fans of The Introvert Leader. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
My brand is ‘The Introvert Leader’, and our mission is to help energize introverts to become who they want to be. My debut self-published book was released in October 2021, and is titled “Quiet Voice Fearless Leader – 10 Principles for Introverts to Awaken the Leader Inside”, it has ranked as an Amazon best seller in four different categories since its release with over 6,000 copies sold. Also, our online community, Quiet Voice Fearless Mind, will be available this Fall as the ultimate experience for any introvert that is looking to take their life and career to the next level. What sets The Introvert Leader apart is the fact that we highlight the strengths of introversion, and show people exactly how they can benefit from being who they are. Our brand is also very active on social media, where we post daily tips and inspiration for introverts.
