It’s Monday morning. Someone asks how your weekend was. And suddenly you’re performing.Because you feel like you need to sound interesting… without saying that your weekend was actually quite quiet.In this episode of Awfully Quiet, we talk about the version of you that shows up at work. The one that’s polished, professional, reliable. And somehow… a bit hard to connect with.Not because something’s wrong with you. But because you’ve shaped yourself into a version that works. Just not one that people fully feel.I started sharing one small, genuine part of my life at work. Nothing dramatic. Just real. And it changed more than I expected.People trusted me more.Remembered me differently.Knew how to approach me.Which, it turns out, matters more than being impressive.This isn’t a framework. It’s not a strategy. It’s barely even advice.It’s more like a small shift that quietly changes how people experience you.If you’ve ever felt a bit like a stranger in your own workplace, this one’s for you.And if you know someone who might need this, send it to them.Quiet things spread that way. 🎧
