191 Me, a Disruptor? A Framework for Quiet Disruption

<p>A couple of years back, when the book <em>Disrupt-Her</em> by Miki Agrawal (powerhouse cofounder of THINX and Tushy, two startups that disrupted the taboo categories of periods and toilets) came out, I read it, thinking: </p> <p><em>“This wasn’t written for me. I’m not bold or daring or loud. I’m not a disruptor. If anything, my natural tendency is to keep the peace.” </em></p> <p>Well, through a series of recent events – including claiming the Quiet Messenger title, I’ve changed my mind. (More on that in today’s episode.)</p> <h3><strong>Because a clear message is inherently disruptive. </strong></h3> <p>This has become more and more true for me this round of my <a href="http://adriasophia.com/mastermind" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Messenger Mastermind</a> as I see these sensitive souls really showing up for their people and stepping into speaking out in ways that stretch them but feel so so important.</p> <p>The reason you and I think we’re <em>not</em> disruptors is because, like in the leadership and business worlds, that term has an inherent bias that excludes traits like shy, introverted, quiet, and sensitive. </p> <p><em>So we need to expand the definition to include us. </em></p> <p>In ep 191 of Quiet Messenger, I break down my <strong>5 Tenets for Quiet Disruption</strong> to help guide you to step into the disruptor that you ALREADY are, no need to be more bold or daring or loud. </p> <p>Listen in.</p> <h3>Deeper support from me:</h3> <ul> <li><strong><em>What’s your Messenger Archetype?</em> <a href= "http://adriadecorte.com/quiz">T</a><a href= "https://adriasophia.com/quiz/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">ake the quiz</a>.</strong></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Grab your free <a href= "https://adriasophia.com/message-clarity-kit" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener"><strong>Message Clarity Kit.</strong></a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>The <a href="https://adriasophia.com/mastermind" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Messenger Mastermind</strong></a> is an intimate
