The Quiet Achiever: Building Confidence, Communication & Leadership Presence w/ Linda Raynier

Описание: Quiet achievers are often the most capable people in the room, yet the most overlooked. In workplaces that reward visibility and self-promotion, their thoughtful leadership style can go unnoticed, leaving them struggling to be heard or recognized. So how can quiet professionals build confidence, communicate their value and lead with presence, without changing who they are?

In this episode, we’re joined by Linda Raynier, author of The Quiet Achiever (Wiley, October 2025), keynote speaker, leadership and communication coach, and founder of the Quiet to Confident Leadership program. Linda shares practical insights on embracing quiet strengths, leading authentically, and making a meaningful impact at work.

A former CPA turned recruiter, Linda has built a career coaching business, a YouTube community of over 1 million subscribers, and LinkedIn Learning courses with over 2.6 million learners worldwide. Named one of Canada’s Top 20 Career Coaches for 2025, she brings both personal experience and proven strategies to this conversation.

In this conversation, Linda opens up about her own journey as a quiet achiever, the hidden strengths of quiet leadership, and how leaders can better support and engage quieter voices on their teams. Whether you’re a quiet professional or a leader looking to better support quieter voices, this episode offers a powerful reframe on confidence, communication, and leadership.
