I have always been known to have a strong presence. Maybe itโs partly the โBrooklyn native meets California cool at a global-scaleโ in me, but in all seriousness, itโs more about the joy I get building a meaningful connection โ with another person, a small group, a large audience.
As I consider this topic, it occurs to me that the most valuable โresourceโ in achieving great presence doesnโt cost a cent, and you canโt read about it in a book and suddenly be great at it.ย BUT โ we all have access to it!

Because one of the most powerful tools we have to create a memorable presence is the ability to listen - to a colleague, a partner, a team, an audience. ๐๐โ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐. ๐๐โ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ ๐๐ฒโ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ? ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ'๐ ๐๐ผ ๐บ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ, ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น. ๐ช๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐, ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐. ๐ช๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐, ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐.
When we connect, we have impact. And when we have impact, people remember us because we made them feel seen.
Thatโs presence.
