The title of this blog post is a question that could have people asking if it is an oxymoron, or wondering if there is such a thing. Can someone influence their industry, community, coworkers, etc., by being "quiet?" I would argue, no.

I am not saying that an individual needs to be outgoing and social in order to be a influencer. I am saying that in order for someone to become influential, they need to communicate and communicate well.
