WHAT IS PRESENCE?
When we talk about presence, we're not talking about domination.
We're talking about the ability to be present in our self.
And to monitor and balance the needs and messages from our internal state with our external state AND our own business objective.
And only when we do that can we be aware of the other people's internal state and the other people's external state and business objectives.
CREATING SAFE SPACE
So leadership presence is really creating a safe space for others to speak the truth.
Safe, non-judgemental, and also, ultimately focused on a business objective.
So when we say Presence, we have to be able to be aware of whether WE are being present.
We have to first be present, and first be vulnerable and real, so that we can inspire others to do the same and to bring their presence.
