To see if Laura’s Executive Presence Mastery System 90-day coaching intensive is right for you, set up a strategy call here.      

Charisma isn’t just for extroverts—it’s your secret weapon, your unfair advantage, too and in today's episode you’ll get granular details on what quiet charisma looks like and how to increase your CQ today.   

In today’s episode of Speak Up, we’re uncovering the truth about “quiet charisma”—the kind that introverts naturally possess but rarely know how to amplify. If you’ve ever felt overlooked in meetings or misunderstood at work, this episode gives you a roadmap to turning your natural strengths into magnetic presence.

By the end of today’s episode you’ll know:

🎯3 unique traits of charismatic introverts that command respect and trust

🔑Real-world examples of leaders who inspire with few words and deep presence

🛠️Practical, micro-adjustments to boost your charisma quotient (CQ) immediately

Press play now to discover how to show up with quiet confidence and influence without faking extroversion.

Now for some of you charisma is exhausting. If you've ever left a meeting thinking, “Why didn’t I speak up?” or felt like you needed a nap after every interaction because trying to be “on” all day is exhausting — you're not alone.

But charisma doesn’t have to drain you. In fact, it can feel energizing when you use your natural quiet power the right way.

That’s why I built the Executive Presence Scorecard — to help you discover how to lead with presence, spark influence, and build trust — all while staying grounded in your introverted strengths.

It helps you assess your current strengths and gaps across the four pillars of executive presence.


If that sounds like what you need, email me at hello@speakupwithlaura.com with the word “score” in the subject line. I’ll send it to you personally!
