HUB 406: EXPERT INTERVIEW – Stephanie Thoma

by Robbie Samuels | Dec 17, 2024 | Networking, Podcast, Professional Development | 0 comments

I’m pleased to interview one of our Biz Book Publishing Hub's Founding Partners. Our Hub Partners are experts who support entrepreneurs along their author journey.

Today’s guest has dedicated her career to helping others build meaningful connections. She specializes in empowering introverts to develop a sense of self-worth, discover their community, and pursue the careers of their dreams.

Having grown up painfully shy and feeling like an outsider, she once believed that forming deep, authentic connections with many people was impossible, which held her back from trying. However, everything changed as she embraced leadership roles and began to reveal a more outgoing side of herself.

Since then, she has been on a mission to reframe what it means to be an introvert. Initially leading by example, she now helps others through her company, Confident Introvert. Through corporate workshops, webinars, and private one-on-one coaching, she empowers introverts to enhance their networking skills. To further share her insights, she wrote “Confident Introvert: A Practical Guide to Connecting with Others at Networking Events and Beyond.”

She is a Hub Partner because she collaborates with nonfiction authors looking to blend strategy with personal storytelling from an empowered, heart-centered perspective. She is a certified hypnotherapist, guiding clients through the writing process by addressing issues related to visibility, confidence, and vulnerability.

Please join me in welcoming Stephanie Thoma.
